What is attunement? What does it mean to live in greater awareness of this subtle level of consciousness? We'll explore attunement to Yogananda, his disciple Kriyananda and the other Masters in Yogananda’s line of gurus: Jesus, Babaji, Lahiri Mahasaya, and Swami Yukteswar. To help in this process, we’ll dive deep into the study of these two foundational books: Autobiography of a Yogi, by Yogananda and The New Path, by Swami Kriyananda. This immersion provides continuing support for your sadhana through group meditations and opportunities for Q & A. 

Instructors: Brahmachari Tandava, Nayaswamis Biraj and Lahari

Tandava is a Stanford and Google alum. He's a gifted teacher, whether the subject is meditation, music, dance, computer skills, or anything else, making concepts accessible with humor and clarity. It's hard to find a moment when Tandava isn't cheery, willing, and just on the verge of a terrific one-liner. He’s a frequent soloist and guitarist for Ananda.
