The evening features Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi, Spiritual Directors of Ananda Sangha Worldwide. Ananda’s founder, Swami Kriyananda (close, direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda) named Nayaswami Jyotish as his spiritual successor. Jyotishji met Swami Kriyananda in 1966, working closely with him and his wife, Deviji (who came to Ananda in 1969), to build Ananda’s work around the world. Both Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi were named kriyacharyas by Swami Kriyananda, and can disseminate the liberating and ancient Kriya Yoga technique of Paramhansa Yogananda’s lineage.

Jyotishji and Deviji travel throughout the United States, India, and Europe speaking on spiritualizing daily life and the practice of Kriya Yoga meditation. Nayaswami Jyotish is the author of several books on meditation and related subjects, including How to Meditate and Lessons in Meditation (the textbook for Ananda’s Level 1 class), along with Thirty Day Essentials for Career and  Thirty Day Essentials for Marriage. Nayaswami Devi is the author of Faith is My Armor: The Life of Swami Kriyananda and the editor of The Light of Superconsciousness and
Intuition for Starters, both by Swami Kriyananda. They are co-authors of the book A Touch of Light: Living the Teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, which is a compilation of their weekly blog. You can read more on their website: JyotishAndDevi.org.
