In 1993, Swami Kriyananda asked Hriman and his wife, Padma, to serve as directors of Ananda in Seattle.
Hriman’s early studies in Catholic theology give him a profound respect for the shared truths of all religions, and the practical benefits of Raja Yoga.
Audiences at his Sunday services and classes appreciate his gentle humor and practical insights for living, drawn from the ancient yoga teachings. Hriman is a Lightbearer and Kriyacharya of Ananda Church of Self-Realization.
