Devotional chanting transforms our consciousness by opening the heart and increasing receptivity. The subtle vibrations of chants literally change and uplift our thoughts. Paramhansa Yogananda said, “Chanting is half the battle!” As we lose ourselves in the joy and freedom of the music, we transcend our little selves in devotion for God.

Ananda Chants features chants written by Paramhansa Yogananda (author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi) and Swami Kriyananda (a direct disciple of Yogananda, and a well-known composer, author, and teacher), and includes traditional Indian chants and mantras.

Ananda Chants contains the words and musical notations for 72 chants, 7 of which are variations. There are also instructions on how to play the chants. This book is designed for both beginners and advanced chanters.

Arranged here for voice, harmonium, guitar, flute, harp, kirtals, and tabla.
