Personal Growth
"Fear? Don’t run away from it: face it and learn to overcome it." – Swami Kriyananda
Fear, often seen as a limitation, can become a powerful life teacher on our evolutionary journey, guiding us from limitation to the realization of our higher Self.
Thanks to the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, in this experiential and practical journey, you will discover how to transform this emotion into awareness and inner strength. Yogananda used to say: "You must learn to remain unshaken amidst the crash of breaking worlds."
Find your stability and courage, and become a spiritual warrior.

The beloved Master of Yogananda, Swami Sri Yukteswar was known for his spiritual rigour and discipline. It was he who guided Yogananda along the path of spiritual mastery, and in gratitude for his guidance, his wisdom and in honour of Yogananda's deep devotion to his Guru, we celebrate Sri Yukteswar's birthday together on this day each year.
