Swami Kriyananda
Our view of Swami Kriyananda, who challenges us all to be our spiritual best.
    "Swami Kriyananda is one of our greatest living Americans.  He is a person of great vision, intellectual brilliance, creativity, spiritual magnetism, and personal integrity.  I have rarely heard of someone with more joy, kindness, and spirituality. He is our leader in the sense that he inspires us from within. The wonderful spirit of Ananda that shows in our centers and groups around the world can be traced back to the inspiration of Swamiji. In the 20 years that I have followed the life and teachings of Swami Kriyananda, I have witnessesed his constant concern for the welfare of others, even when it has put him to great personal inconvenience.  I am deeply grateful for his service to all, myself included."  -J. Byrom, Ananda Grand Junction.

Ananda Cincinnati (Ohio)
This group is now led by Kevin Allen. Geoff Quinn, a native of Cincinnati and long-time meditator and yogi, founded and led this group in the "Queen City" of Ohio. Geoff spent years studying with leading Ananda teachers in Northern California and is powerfully devoted to this path. He often participated in Ananda Columbus events, and is known for his musical interests and ability. In mid-2007, Geoff moved back to Ananda Village in California, but other souls in Cincinnati carry on this vital work.
