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.

What Do You Want to Accomplish in Life?

Goswami Kriyananda February 15, 2026

What would be your singular goal in life, if you could have only one? “Each of us should have a goal,” says Goswami Kriyananda. “If you do not have a goal, your life will tend to be empty. If you do not have a goal, you will not strive for something. If you are not striving for something, there will be no need for self-discipline. But it is the very self-discipline by which you mature, which is the ultimate end goal of humanity.” Once you identify your goal, Kriyananda introduces a five-step process for attaining it.

What Does God Want From Us?

Goswami Kriyananda January 3, 2025

God has no desires. The Divine One pours forth wisdom, love, beauty, health. It’s for us to accept it.
