Located in the serene surroundings of Sector 28 D, Chandigarh, the Yogoda Satsanga Dhyana Kendra offers a peaceful sanctuary for those seeking spiritual growth and inner tranquility. Established under the divine guidance of Sri Sri Paramahansa Yogananda, the revered author of "Autobiography of a Yogi," this meditation center is committed to spreading the transformative teachings and techniques of Kriya Yoga, a sacred science for achieving holistic well-being and direct personal experience of God.
The journey of the Chandigarh Kendra began in the early eighties with a small group of dedicated devotees, blossoming into a vibrant spiritual hub. The foundation stone was ceremoniously laid in 1985, and with the unwavering dedication of devotees and the blessings of noble benefactors, the first YSS Dhyana Mandir in North India was inaugurated in December of the same year. Today, the Mandir stands as a beacon of peace, regularly drawing devotees for group meditations and spiritual fellowship.
The Kendra warmly invites all truth-seekers to join the community and experience the profound power of group meditations held every Sunday and Monday. Beyond regular meditation sessions, the Kendra hosts enlightening talks and programs by esteemed YSS monks such as Swami Padmananda Giri and Swami Pavitrananda Giri, enriching the spiritual lives of its members through wisdom and practical guidance.
With a welcoming and inclusive atmosphere, the Yogoda Satsanga Dhyana Kendra - Chandigarh serves as a focal point for spiritual aspirants from nearby locales like Panchkula, Mohali, and Ludhiana. Just as the Mandir grew from a humble beginning to a thriving centre, the community of the Chandigarh Kendra continues to expand, united in the quest for divine realization and inner peace.
