Spirituality in the New Age of Dwapara Yuga: Personal Experience Through Kriya Yoga

With Swami Kriyananda, recorded May 26, 2012 during the Yuga Cycles Conference (Conference on Precession and Ancient Knowledge) at The Expanding Light at Ananda Village. This inspiring talk explores the spiritual awakening of Dwapara Yuga and the shift from outward religious belief to direct inner experience. Swami Kriyananda explains how consciousness is the foundation of reality, why meditation and Kriya Yoga are especially important in this new age, and how we can find God within ourselves. Drawing on the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, he encourages us to become calm, even-minded, non-attached, and increasingly aware of the divine presence everywhere. Swami Kriyananda (J. Donald Walters) became a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, author of "Autobiography of a Yogi", in 1948. At Yogananda’s request, he dedicated his life to teaching, writing, and sharing Kriya Yoga and spiritual principles worldwide. Over 65 years, Kriyananda authored 150 books, composed more than 400 musical works, and taught thousands, inspiring millions through his lectures, music, and practical teachings on meditation, community, and spiritual living. He is recognized as a pioneer of intentional spiritual communities, fulfilling Yogananda’s vision.
