Ananda Center of Sacramento is a longstanding meditation center in the Sacramento region rooted in the Ananda tradition and the teachings associated with Swami Kriyananda. Its identity centers on meditation, yoga, spiritual instruction, and community life, supported by ministers and teachers. The center presents meditation as a serious, ongoing path woven into daily life and shared observance, including traditions such as its annual all-day Easter meditation. Its work also extends into a broader community-oriented expression of the Ananda path, including connection with Ananda Community in Rancho Cordova and continued development through a new Ananda Sacramento retreat.
