Paramhansa Yogananda (1893-1952), came to the West from India in 1920, bringing a new vision of how to live. He lectured across the United States drawing thousands, and filling the largest auditoriums in the country. Even after Yogananda’s passing in 1952, his “Autobiography of a Yogi” continued to inspire influential people such as George Harrison, Gene Roddenberry, and Steve Jobs.

His books are available in 100 countries and 30 languages. Inspired by his guru’s dream of establishing “world brotherhood colonies”, Kriyananda also founded several Ananda communities worldwide.
