Swami Kriyananda answers questions about truth and many spiritual subjects, as he learned about them directly from Paramhansa Yogananda. (These talks were recorded in 2012, one year before Swami Kriyananda's passing.)

  1. Episode 1

    "What Is Truth?" - Swami Kriyananda

    “Throughout my life I’ve wondered about truth. I’ve wondered if it is relative or absolute.” The way to understand truth, Swami Kriyananda explains, is to grow beyond identifying with our little ego.

  2. Episode 2

    The Relativity of Morals

    Moral value is not relative, Swami Kriyananda explains, because our moral choices effect who we are and who we become.

  3. Episode 3

    What Can We Do In These Troubling Economic Times?

    Swami Kriyananda shares advice on finding work, creating work, attracting money, starting communities, and not only surviving but thriving in a challenging economy.

  4. Episode 4

    How to Prepare for Hard Times

    Attitudes that bring success, and how to face hard times — Swami Kriyananda shares practical tips for the material and spiritual aspects of our lives.

  5. Episode 5

    The Importance of a True Guru

    As a young man, Swami Kriyananda wanted to create communities, and was desperate to find truth. That search brought him to a guru, but what is a guru? What does that mean? What is a disciple, really?

  6. Episode 6

    Reincarnation

    Questions of whether or not we have free will and whether our lives are pre-destined have for centuries kept philosophers awake at night. What is the truth?

  7. Episode 7

    Surrender

    “Many religious traditions emphasize surrender, which seems rather passive. Is that true?” From the concept of passive vs. active surrender, the discussion ranges to willpower, free will, if we can see our own spiritual progress, and the effect that being a vegetarian has on our consciousness.

  8. Episode 8

    The Importance of Education

    “What were Yogananda’s views on education for children?” Swami Kriyananda talks about Yogananda’s interest in education and how the non-sectarian principles he taught have been implemented at Ananda Village.
