Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi are the spiritual directors of Ananda Sangha Worldwide, a global movement of communities and meditation groups inspired by the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. Having served closely with Ananda’s founder, Swami Kriyananda, since Ananda’s beginnings, they have carried forward his work for over 50 years of spiritual leadership, teaching, writing, and personal guidance.

Together they travel and speak internationally on meditation, discipleship, spiritual community, and the practical application of yogic teachings in daily life. Their lives reflect a shared dedication to living and transmitting the teachings of Self-realization as brought to the modern world by Paramhansa Yogananda and carried forward through the work of Swami Kriyananda.
