What to Expect from Ananda LIVE! ...

  • Live broadcasts from Assisi

    In addition to the Sunday Satsangs, classes and events at holiday and others, special occassions will be broadcast, as well as more evening programs including various Ananda ceremonies, celebrations of the Masters of our Path, Christmas and Eastern events, kirtans, choir concerts and musical concerts, theatre plays etc.

  • Live guided morning meditations

    Morning meditations will be broadcast from the Sangha studio. The entire duration will be about 45 minutes, and the broadcasts will be on some days in Italian, other days in English and German, and once a week in Dutch. At the moment this service was suspended and is only available in Dutch language. In the nearest future, we will offer specific meditations for beginners, busy people and disciples of our path.

  • Live guided Kriyaban meditations

    Every Saturday morning from 7 to 8.30 there is a live guided Kriya meditation with our Kriyacharyas from Ananda Assisi like Kirtani, Uma, Shivani, Mayadevi etc. Usually we have two meditations in Italian per month, one in English and one in German, in order to equally support the different language speakers. This is one of the most important support that we offer our Kriyabans.

  • Live evening satsangs

    Once each week in a given language there will be satsangs on a variety of subjects related to spirituality. This important service has been suspended for some months and is available only in Dutch at the moment, but we will restart as soon as possible with new series of satsangs in Italian, English and maybe also German.

  • Recorded broadcasts from Assisi

    Some classes and events which are not broadcast live will be recorded for later transmission, and also to be placed in the online video archives. The live broadcasts will also be recorded and posted for later viewing.

  • Recorded meditations

    For those not able to connect to the live broadcast, there will be recorded meditations that Online Family members can access. These will be in the various languages, and will be updated regularly.

  • Live virtual satsangs for meditation groups

    Arrangements can be made for one of the Ananda ministers to give a live, interactive program for your meditation group.

  • Resources for Disciples, Kriyabans and Sangha members

    Online resources for Disciples, Kriyabans and Sangha Members, with restricted access according to the user status, offer a large selection of material, including written, audio and video instruction and inspiration, live guided meditations and satsangs, lectures and courses, and personal spiritual couselling.

  • Universal prayer sessions for everybody

    Twice a week, on Tuesday and Friday evening from 8 p.m., we offer 15 minutes long prayer sessions where we pray for peace and harmony in the world just like Yogananda taught us to do. These prayers are universal, thus open to people of every religion and creed. At the moment they are only available in Italian language, but if requested, we can do them also in English and German on regular basis. We encourage you to get involved in this activity which is fundamental for contrasting the darkness present in the world at the moment.

“Every devotee… can be helped by the realization that he is not alone in his spiritual search. Thus, Ananda already provides people in many lands with a sense of spiritual family, a sense which serves them as a bulwark in times of trial, and of encouragement and shared inspiration in times of joy.” – Swami Kriyananda
