Goswami Kriyananda

We invite you to join us on our spiritual journey along with our Founder, the late Goswami Kriyananda. Kriya Yoga is a series of techniques for living your life, so that you will be happy and content. The philosphy and principles of Kriya Yoga dovetail wonderfully with any religion.

Goswami Kriyananda was the Founder and Spiritual Preceptor of the Temple of Kriya Yoga. He taught the concepts codified by Patanjali in the late BCE period. Active in Chicago for more than 50 years, he was a prolific writer and speaker, not only at the Temple but in seminars and workshops in France and Italy in addition to many different engagements in the United States. His warmth, humor and wisdom live on.

Detachment and Wisdom

Goswami Kriyananda October 26, 2025

Air date: 10/26/25

What are the correct thoughts that lead to freedom and happiness? And what are the erroneous thoughts that lead us to unhappiness and confinement? To find out, we must teach the mind to become detached. “Too often in life we make decisions from distress, pressure, anger, anxiety, fear or restlessness,” says Goswami Kriyananda. Meditation, contemplation and just being happy will allow us to act from a position of mental quietude and strength.
