New Design

We have just launched a new version of Ananda.org. The homepage will now focus on the big picture of what Ananda is, and you can find all our new videos, q&a, blog posts, events, and more on our What's New page. Other new features include new blog categories such as Spirituality and Science: Explore the intersections of quantum physics, M-theory, medicine, and neuroscience with the perennial truths of universal religion—God, life after death, heaven, miracles, and transcendence. You can also listen to uplifting music by clicking on the musical icon in the top right of the screen.

And now, the Temple of Light at Ananda Village.
