The Inspiration of Ananda Music

Watch this revealing video where Tyagi Dambara shares about the upliftment and blessings from listening to and singing & playing Swami Kriyananda's inspired music. "Music is so much more than entertainment. It doesn’t merely reflect a state of consciousness: It also generates it." —Swami Kriyananda It’s generally understood that music can have a powerful effect on mood and energy. It’s less well known that positive and uplifting music can affect consciousness itself in positive and uplifting ways. Ananda Music singers and musicians are dedicated to raising awareness—not only of the general need for positive and uplifting music in our troubled world—but of a specific body of music that was composed for the exact purpose of raising energy, lifting consciousness, and helping people. That music is Ananda Music. Join us in spreading the light and joy by becoming a Friend of Ananda Music: https://bit.ly/AnandaMusic In 2026, we celebrate the 100th anniversary of Swami Kriyananda’s birth — honoring his life of discipleship and the living legacy of Paramhansa Yogananda, which continues to uplift hearts and transform lives. The Centennial will be the largest celebration in Ananda’s history. Devotees, friends, and seekers from around the world will gather to honor Swami Kriyananda’s centennial and the continuing power of Yogananda’s teachings — as expressed through Swami’s example of joy, dedication, and divine friendship. This is your opportunity to be part of a once-in-a-lifetime event — a week of inspiration, meditation, classes, music, and celebration — uniting hearts in gratitude, love, and spiritual renewal.

Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) became a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of "Autobiography of a Yogi", in 1948. At Yogananda’s request, he dedicated his life to teaching, writing, and sharing Kriya Yoga and spiritual principles worldwide. Over 65 years, Kriyananda authored 150 books, composed more than 400 musical works, and taught thousands, inspiring millions through his lectures, music, and practical teachings on meditation, community, and spiritual living. He is recognized as a pioneer of intentional spiritual communities, fulfilling Yogananda’s vision.
