At the age of 22, J. Donald Walters began the adventure of his lifetime: the search for joy in God. His guide was the great yogi, Paramhansa Yogananda. Donald is a direct disciple of Yogananda (who is well-known as the author of The Autobiography of a Yogi).

In the more than 60 years since, Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) has become one of Yogananda’s foremost disciples, inspiring thousands all over the world. His two consuming desires are “to find God, and to help others find Him.”

In 1968 he founded Ananda, an intentional community near Nevada City, California, based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. Visit the Ananda website at http://www.ananda.org

Teacher of meditation and yoga to thousands; author of over 90 books and composer of more than 400 songs; founder of seven communities worldwide: Swami Kriyananda shines out as one of the great spiritual lights of our time.

Kriyananda has edited two books of Paramhansa Yogananda's which have become well known: The Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam Explained and a compilation of sayings of the Master, The Essence of Self-Realization.
