Swami Krishnananda

This website is a comprehensive online archive of the life and teachings of Sri Swami Krishnananda (1922–2001), one of the foremost disciples of Sri Swami Sivananda. It brings together his writings, books, recorded talks, lectures, photographs and other materials, making Swamiji's profound exploration of philosophy, religion, yoga, meditation and spiritual life freely available to all.

Swami Krishnananda's teachings range widely—from the great systems of Indian philosophy and the wisdom of the Upanishads and Bhagavadgita to questions concerning consciousness, the nature of reality, science, religion and the human search for meaning. The extensive collection of audio and video recordings preserves Swamiji's spoken teachings and provides an opportunity to encounter his thought directly.
