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.

How is Kriya Yoga Different From Other Yogas?
All the yogas have basic similarities, says Goswami Kriyananda, but each one differs in emphasizing one or two aspects of the discipline or training. Kriya Yoga is more scientific and mathematical, and deals with symbolism and the meaning of symbols.
