A Place Where You Can Find Peace, Meaning, and Spiritual Growth
Ananda is a global movement based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi. It was founded in 1968 in northern California by Swami Kriyananda, one of Yogananda’s direct disciples.
Yogananda’s teachings embrace the truths that underlie all great religions. People from all faiths and backgrounds are welcomed at Ananda.
Join us for Sunday Service or another class or event at the Blue Lotus Temple in Bothell, a place of peace open to all. Visitors come to the temple seeking inner guidance in prayer or meditation, or a respite from the demands of a busy world, or simply a quiet place to “be.”
At our residential community in Lynnwood, residents live together in a lifestyle of meditation, service, simple living and high ideals. Ananda is known throughout the world for its network of independent, intentional communities which are among the most successful in the world today.
We are committed to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone to pursue the search for God.
