During the week we stay at the monastery, on weekends we frequently travel to Ananda Centres throughout India.

The India monastery was re-launched and relocated in June 2018 as a way of finally fulfilling Swami Kriyananda’s very specific lifestyle and approach that he described for Ananda monks.

All monks are kriya yoga disciples of Paramhansa Yogananda, following the vows and ideals expressed in the Who Are We? and Ego-transcendence sections of this website.

We do not take visitors. If you are interested in meeting with the monks, you can find out from your local Ananda Centre when we might be visiting. If you would like to learn more, you can email premdas@anandaindia.org .[/cs_text][/cs_column][cs_column fade=”false” fade_animation=”in” fade_animation_offset=”45px” fade_duration=”750″ type=”1/3″ style=”padding: 0px;”][sidebar_box author=”false” author_title=”About The Author” author_choice=”4″ custom_author=”false” custom_button=”false” custom_button_text=”A custom button.” custom_button_link=”#” box_type=”custom” custom_info=”<img class="size-medium wp-image-672 aligncenter" src="https://anandamonastery.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/monks-vrindavan-350×241.jpg" alt="" width="350" height="241" />
