Swami Kriyananda

Swami Kriyananda (1926 – 2013) left his body on the 21 April 2013 in Assisi Italy. Although he has left the body, his soul is still very much present and guiding Ananda. Swamiji named Nayaswami Jyotish as his spiritual successor and Dharmacharya of Ananda Worldwide. Nayaswami Jyotish, together with his wife, Nayaswami Devi, are the Co-Spiritual Directors of Ananda Worldwide.

“There is a peace and quietness surrounding Swami Kriyananda that give a hint of his spiritual stature. Many times I listened to him speak, and have always come away feeling refreshed and energized. It is not only his lectures, teachings, and books that shed light on areas of darkness and confusion in people’s lives. Above all, it is the example of the man himself, the peace and calm that surround him, the spiritual power that emanates from him, pointing the way to each person’s own inner path to enlightenment.”
—John Harricharan, Body, Mind, & Spirit magazine
