Ananda Institute of Living Yoga, 23305 Bothell-Everett Highway, Bothell, WA (2026)

“Yoga” means more than physical positions. “Living Yoga” means to awaken to your own highest potential and to see oneself as part of the greater life of all. “Living Yoga” brings calmness, intuition, health and vitality to daily life. Hatha Yoga (Ananda Yoga) enhances meditation as “meditation in movement.” Combined with the Life Force control techniques such as the Energization Exercises (tension

exercises), we learn meditation in stillness and meditation in action: thus, meditation “all the time!” The more we live centered in the Self within, the greater is our ability to joyfully meet the demands of everyday life.

May 30, 2026 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm PDT
Free – All are welcome

Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi will offer to us the keys to inner freedom and soul joy.

As prolific authors, their latest books will be published this year and they will no doubt also share inspiration from these as well: Nayaswami Jyotish on the subject of service (seva), and Nayaswami Devi on the subject of emerging trends as expressed in the lives of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda.

Afterwards you are invited to a repast of savories and sweets to mingle and greet our guests and your many friends at Ananda.

Saturday Satsangs with Murali – May
May 23, 2026 @ 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm PDT

Satsang, meaning "Fellowship with Truth," is an age-old tradition in India that Paramhansa Yogananda brought to the West. We meditate together to feel the aura of the Masters embracing everyone. In this uplifted atmosphere, we share inspiration on a spiritual topic. This months topic is...
Karma and Reincarnation are the two core teachings of Sanatan Dharma, the universal spiritual path that has been preserved in India. The popular view of Karma is that of a cosmic justice system which ensures that “what goes around, comes around”. It has been used to explain away our troubles; and to feel good that bad people eventually get their karmic comeuppance. And, it has encouraged excessive focus on retribution, and fatalism (“sigh, this is my karma, there’s nothing I can do”).
But great rishis (ancient seers) tell us that karma – which means action – is not a bo***ge that keeps us in ever-present fear of consequences of past deeds. Rather, it is about intentional actions that we can do in the here and now: when done with great will power and with the thought of God, they ultimately give us power and ownership of our life. Indeed, it is possible to change our karmic landscape to such an extent that one is able to escape the cycle of birth and rebirth, into liberation. Karma is not about mechanistic predestination, but about choices made with great awareness. This is why Krishna said, in the Bhagavad Gita that: Let man uplift himself by his own effort, and let him not debase himself. Indeed, one’s self is his own greatest friend – or (if he so chooses) his own greatest enemy (6:5).
Join Murali Venkatrao in a lively and deep exploration of this topic, where we draw from Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings, and from his commentaries on the Bhagavad Gita and the Bible; and the story of Dharma Vyadha from the Mahabharata.

Satsang, meaning "Fellowship with Truth," is an age-old tradition in India that Paramhansa Yogananda brought to the West. We meditate together to feel the aura of the Masters embracing everyone. In this uplifted atmosphere, we share inspiration on a spiritual topic. The topic serves as a gateway to spontaneous interactions and nurtures devotion and attunement. Its larger purpose is to deepen our connection with each other and with God.

What Do We Do Now: Finding Inner Peace in Uncertain Times
May 30, 2026, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Free – All are welcome

Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi, spiritual directors for Ananda worldwide, will visit Seattle and share inspiration on a topic both timely and timeless: What do we do now? Finding Inner Peace in Uncertain Times.

We all face uncertainty whether in our private lives or in our concern for our country and the world. Who can deny that the degree of uncertainty and the pace of change has intensified, whether within us or around us? As Paramhansa Yogananda put it, “Your beliefs won’t save you.” Who we are, in ourselves, is more important than the circumstances that we face. What we need is calmness, courage, and faith, just to name a few of the core qualities that lay hidden within us.

On Saturday, May 30 at the Blue Lotus Temple in Bothell, Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi will offer to us the keys to inner freedom and soul joy. As the successors to Ananda’s founder, Swami Kriyananda, they have spent over fifty years living and sharing the practice and path of meditation, service, and self-offering. As prolific authors, their latest books will be published this year and they will no doubt also share inspiration from these as well: Nayaswami Jyotish on the subject of service (seva), and Nayaswami Devi on the subject of emerging trends as expressed in the lives of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda.

Afterwards you are invited to a repast of savories and sweets to mingle and greet our guests and your many friends at Ananda.
