Watch this inspiring talk by Swami Kriyananda (direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda), recorded July 9, 2010 at Ananda Village in California.
A heartfelt talk on the transformative power of intentional spiritual communities inspired by Paramhansa Yogananda—how living for God together amplifies kindness, service, and worldwide impact. It blends practical guidance (prepare, grow food, build brotherhood) with prophetic cautions about turbulent times, emphasizing faith, attunement to the Guru, and God’s protection. Swami Kriyananda shares personal stories of guidance, miracles, humility, and the ever-deepening bliss that comes from devotion. The central call: bring peace to earth by living peace, now—together.
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.
