Here is a link to one of the most inspired talks given by Swami Kriyananda, Ananda's founder and direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, on the subject of religion.

- Why "being spiritual but not religious" is not enough. It can even be a cop-out for most!
- The reason and need for religion of the past era to have become institutionalized.
- Why not to be judgmental towards those who need to be dogmatic.
- How science has inadvertently guided spirituality in a new direction.
- Why it is necessary to find one's path and be loyal to it as a precursor and prerequisite to accepting all faiths.
Joy to ya'll,
In gratitude for the gift of wisdom, the power of grace, and the opportunity to serve!
Swami Hrimananda
