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: Lakshmi LaPine, Nayaswamis Biraj and Lahari
