Traditional meditation is the most direct and time-honored means of establishing a personal perception or experience of transcendent realities, whether approached devotionally (as God, Father, Mother, etc.), metaphysically (as Infinite Consciousness) or energetically (as love, power, peace, sound or light, etc.). In this class we share the core concentration meditation technique taught by Paramhansa Yogananda who came to America in 1920 and who is known throughout the world for his now classic story, “Autobiography of a Yogi.” This course is open to anyone regardless of affiliation, belief, or membership at Ananda. All truth seekers and devotees will benefit.
