Join us for a two-hour meditation with Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi.

Nayaswami Jyotish and Devi serve as the spiritual directors of Ananda and have long shared the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda through spiritual leadership, teaching, and guidance. Swami Kriyananda, Ananda’s founder, designated Jyotish as his spiritual successor. Together, Jyotish and Devi travel internationally, offering teachings and spiritual support rooted in the path of Kriya Yoga.

Spiritual Directors of Ananda Sangha Worldwide

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.

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.
