Paramhansa Yogananda introduced a new kind of chanting in the West, based on the repetition of meaningful phrases rather than the repetition of various names of God as is traditional in India. Its purpose is to focus the heart’s feelings and raise them toward superconsciousness.
The highest purpose of chanting is to help awaken us to our own spiritual potential: to bring us closer to Self-realization.
Ananda chanting includes those chants shared by Yogananda that are in the public domain, plus chants by Swami Kriyananda.
Come join us for devotional chanting, mini meditations, & satsang to follow.
