About Ram & Chandra

Tyagis Ram and Chandra (Robert Smith and Denise Ruelas) are longtime residents of Ananda Village in Nevada City, California, and are both dedicated Kriyabans. Their spiritual service is rooted in devotion, music, and the living guidance of the Masters.
Ram is an ordained Lightbearer Minister of Ananda Sangha/Church of Self‑Realization, serving since 1981. Chandra supports his ministry through her musical gifts, and together they lead a wide variety of Ananda events, including kirtans, concerts, pilgrimages, Sunday Services, and retreats.

As both Ananda Yoga and Meditation instructors, as well as professional musicians and singers, Ram and Chandra bring a unique blend of spiritual depth, joy, and artistic expression to their ministry.

In 2023, they recorded two devotional albums:
• What Is Love? — Songs of Swami Kriyananda
• Channels of Peace — The Spirit of St. Francis of Assisi
Ram has studied, practiced, and taught Paramhansa Yogananda’s teachings since 1977 under the direct guidance of Swami Kriyananda. He was a founding member of Ananda Assisi in Italy, where he lived for seven years and met Pope John Paul II at the Vatican in March 1989.

Parking Info:
While it appears that we have ample parking all around us, we are wanting to be sensitive to our neighbors who own the adjacent parking lot. Therefore we ask that you do not park in the church lot. Please park in the following areas in the order below:

  • Park in our driveway. Right or left sides are both fine, just not behind the garages and not in the first spaces closest to the building.
  • Park PARALLEL on the street across from us but NOT into the grass on the grass. (inside tires can be on the grass about 12 inches, the rest on the street)
  • Park in the lot on the far side of the grassy area across the street. (Behind the grassy area near the brick wall)
Please do not park in the church lot right next to us.
Thank you so much for your consideration of this!
