Shantiananda of the Babaji Skriya Yoga Center
Shantiananda has been studying Yoga since 1970, and was first initiated into Babaji’s Kriya Yoga in 1991. In July 2001, after years of rigorous training, Shantianada became a member of Babaji’s Kriya Yoga Order of Acharyas. She is now authorized to teach the first level initiation seminar of Babaji’s Yoga in the Southwest as well as in Spanish speaking countries. Regular Satsang gatherings are conducted in her hometown of Tempe, Arizona.
Shantiananda believes the goal of life is happiness, peace, love and enlightenment. The desire for perfection comes from the Self, the image of God, which seeks to express itself through all humanity.
Kriya Yoga is a scientific are of experiencing a perfect union with God, Truth and Self. It was revived in modern times by a great Master of India, Babaji Nagaraj, as a synthesis of ancient teachings of the 18 Siddha tradition. It includes a series of techniques or “Kriyas” grouped into five phases or branches.
