About Radio Ananda

Radio Ananda (Sanskrit for "joy") is produced by Nalini Graeber, Clark Francisco, Jagrav Quinn and other members of Ananda Sangha, a worldwide movement based on the nonsectarian techniques of Self-realization taught by Paramhansa Yogananda (1892-1952). Yogananda has inspired many with a deep desire to know God – "the nearest of the near, the dearest of the dear." He is well known as the author of Autobiography of a Yogi, a spiritual classic read by millions around the world.

Currently Kriyananda resides in Los Angeles, California. Many teaching centers and meditation groups are located around the world — in California, Washington, Oregon, Rhode Island — as well as in India and Assisi, Italy.

Kriyananda has written some 400 pieces of inspirational music, which form the core of the programming on Radio Ananda. Kriyananda has also produced more than 100 books and lectured nearly continuously for more than 50 years. Excerpts from his and other's lectures, as well as interviews with Ananda members, are occasionally interspersed with our uplifting music, to keep you inspired throughout the day.

Nalini, Clark, Jagrav and others who are directly involved with producing Radio Ananda, reside at Ananda Village, set on 800 beautiful acres in the Sierra foothills, near Nevada City, California.
