Ananda in Texas has found a new home and is gradually transitioning into more in-person gatherings while still keeping a strong virtual presence. Our Ananda Sangha House located in Richardson, TX is now meeting more regularly, but please see our calendar for exact dates when we are meeting in person and when we are online. Our Austin Meditation Group is currently meeting most Sundays. We also have a new Houston Meditation Group that is now meeting at least once a month in person. We invite you to visit us in person and also check out ONLINE offerings as well.

Welcome to Anandain Texas

Are you seeking inner peace? Wanting to find purpose and meaning in life? Perhaps are seeking a deeper understanding of spirituality? For nearly 30 years, Ananda in Texas has offered support and friendship for your spiritual journey.

In-Person Retreat Weekend
with visiting minister
Saiganesh Sairanam
from Ananda Palo Alto

Ananda Sangha House

Join us for another inhouse retreat weekend at the Ananda Sangha House this time with Saiganesh Sairanam, a dynamic young Ananda minister from Ananda Palo Alto. There will be multiple events from Friday through Sunday. You can attend individually or all!

“When you are in AUM, nothing can touch you.” This whole universe is God’s dream. The dream was made possible by the manifestation of the Cosmic Vibration. All things in Creation are manifestations of AUM. When you are in tune with that vibration, no matter what devastating events occur around you, you will be protected — miraculously, it will seem.
- Paramhansa Yogananda
