Ananda Sangha Bangalore- Kriya Yoga Meditation Centre - Meditation center in Bengaluru, Badamanavarathekaval - Bengaluru Urban, India

Beautiful place in the middle of nature and yet close to city. The place is filled with calmness and peace. You will be surprised to be welcomed with no restrictions, whether you are follower of Ananda or not. Just a visitor is also treated the same way like a senior member of the sangha. Had visited this place multiple times now. Sunday satsangs ate too good. The experience here and the volunteers define the core purpose of Ananda sangha and its mission. It's evident in every action of theirs. Great place to learn Kriya yoga from an authentic source.

It is a beautiful Meditation Center surrounded in the lap of nature, not too far away from the city. The place is very magnetic, group meditations are very deep and powerful and the Divine presence of God & Gurus is so tangibly felt here. The classes on Kriya Yoga meditation are held in the center and also online. The techniques of Kriya Yoga are based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of a book 'Autobiography of a Yogi', a spiritual classic. Kriya Yoga changes the person from inside out. Being on this spiritual path has helped me connect with my inner self and helped me grow spiritually. Feel blessed to be a part of Ananda family! Best time to connect with other members from Ananda is on a Sunday. Every Sunday we have a Satsang where we have chanting, meditation and spiritual talks, there is also Ananda Yoga classes and Sunday school on life skills for children. Come and explore Ananda!

Excellent place to learn to meditate and understand the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda!

I visited the new centre in Dec end and Jan end during my visit to Bangalore. It has very peaceful vibes. Romaji and Haridasji, the centre leaders just wrap you in their aura of peace and calmness., truly seeing the God in guests. Meeting them was definitely a step up in my spiritual journey. The staff there are amazing. Never seen such joyful and serviceful staff. Wilderness outside the city calms the nerves. There's no binding to follow any schedule. You can just be and lap in the peace. The rooms are very beautiful and simply done and reasonably priced. The stay facility had not started when I visited in Jan 2022. Looking forward to staying there on my next trip to Bangalore from Delhi. Just the thought of it brought peace. I hope many people can come here and get relief from stress and jitteriness of daily lives. It's catharsis to the soul. Aum Aum Aum

Serene, Divine place to spend the weekend with or without family. And to learn meditation. Basic as well as advanced Raja Yoga and Kriya yoga meditation.

Kriya Yoga Meditation Centre. Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda are taught here. A beautiful place on the outskirts of the city quiet and serene. Place to feel calm and peace too

I have been with Ananda for more than 10 years. This ashram is in lap of nature & silence. It provides a conducive environment for deepening your sadhana in the silence and vibrations of the gurus.

I went there with a lot of hope to attend the first level as they call it. But was very disappointed after practicing their meditation method. Meditation should have been a state of relaxing, but as they teach it, it is so difficult that i doubt anyone can become meditative. So many exercises before meditation, keep your spine straight, sit in a particular posture, deep breathe in and out counting 1 to 6.. i mean how can you expect one to meditate if you are to take care of so many things. It surely cant be meditation and certainly not the way Lahiri Mahasya would have meditated. It was pure wastage of time. I am not sure of experience of other people, they may have felt a difference in themselves but i believe it would be more of a kind of consolation of trying something new. Fundamentally, meditation should not be so technical and complex as they portray it as a rocket science.
