Based on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of the great spiritual classic, Autobiography of a Yogi, Ananda is a global spiritual movement dedicated to the belief, born of experience, that everyone can rediscover their joy within and realize God in their daily lives as a tangible, loving reality.

Meditation helps us de-stress by calming our hearts and minds, thereby opening us up to the peace and joy that are within. This inner peace and joy is our true nature, our true, higher Self.
Whether you are new to meditation, have some experience in it, or are a seasoned meditator, we are here to support your spiritual journey to Self-realization. Even if you don’t feel you need help with your meditations, meditating in a group creates a magnetic force that can help us go deeper.
Ananda Maryland Upper Bay is a part of Ananda Worldwide and follows and shares the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, the first yoga master to take up permanent residence in the West. His teachings include the ancient technique of Kriya Yoga and ways to spiritualize your daily life.



Ananda’s primary goal is to help uplift consciousness through meditation, service, music & satsang—and by living and sharing the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. We welcome sincere truth seekers from all walks of life.
