Proceeds from the Course

Swami Kriyananda writes:
I have two purposes for writing these lessons.

One is to help people who want to succeed materially without sacrificing their spiritual principles — indeed, for those who would like to know how to use spiritual principles as a means to achieve success!

The other purpose is to build the work of my guru in India. Anyone studying these lessons will find contained in them priceless advice for how to achieve true success in a new age way.

People should rightly pay well to receive these lessons, and though no student would pay anything like what is needed to build this work in India, still — as we say at Ananda — "many hands make a miracle."

Ananda Sangha in India is engaged in building a temple in Pune inspired by Yogananda and dedicated to the world religions. People from all faiths will be able to visit this temple to learn and practice the universal meditation technique of kriya yoga. We are partnering with Ananda Village in America, which is building a similar temple. Constructing these two sister-temples together emphasizes the unity between India and America, of which Paramhansa Yogananda often spoke. He predicted a time when America and India would join hands and lead the world to greater spiritual and material efficiency.

Two temples of this kind have already been constructed: one in Assisi, Italy and the other in Seattle, Washington, in America. You can watch a video about the Seattle temple and view a photo album.

All proceeds from the Success course go towards building these two new temples.
