A letter from Paola Bellussi
Thanks to Divine Grace, I was able to attend the Kriya Yoga course that Swami Aliyananda taught near Oxford in March [2012].
I had been waiting for a long time to go but with young twins things were somewhat difficult in the past.
Swami was so kind and sincere. It was refreshing. Her lack of Ego and centred sense of self was touching.
I felt that the teachers in the course and Swami really did care about us. They cared that we found our inner peace and shared it with others. It is beautiful to see, that in this modern day world, one can still meet people that are truly sincere and altruistic. You cannot help it, but to be filled with hope for the future.
I have been practicing the Kryia Yoga techniques I have learnt daily; and what I can say is that I seem to find more happiness in my daily life, happiness in the little things. The difficulties are still there at times but there is this anchor now.
I really hope more people will receive the call to learn Kriya Yoga with Swami Aliyananda Paramahansa. She is the real thing!
I thought the course was great. Aliyananda has a lovely energy (very motherly!) and has given me the simple kriyas that I was looking for in order to now commit myself to Kriya Yoga 2 times a day - much easier actually than I expected! I would of course recommend her!

I thoroughly enjoyed meeting Aliyananda and her workshop. She is a lovely lady with a great sense of humour and she made everything very light and enjoyable. Her stories of Babaji were second to none and I could have listened to her for days on end as I feel we only touched the tip of the iceberg regarding her quest for knowledge.

When Swami entered the room she brought with her a love that would be impossible to put into words. I was immediately enfolded in love at that very moment, it was quite moving. I feel truly blessed that I have had the privilege to sit within Swami's Divine presence. God bless Love and light

Let me start by saying that the whole day for me was outstanding, I really felt happy, relaxed and totally surrounded by friends. Meeting Aliyananda was a breath of fresh air, she is just so funny. I had to constantly check myself to try and stop laughing at her little quips, as to not disrupt the class. But more over, her very presence is so calming and loving. I also loved her approach to teaching- ‘light hearted’. When we broke for lunch, I felt so honoured that she linked me to walk to the hotel, and the conversation we were having she genuinely wanted to know about me. Aliyananda is for me, definitely someone to aspire to, Caring, Thoughtful, Spiritual, and just oozing love and laughter. Can’t wait to see her again.

I thought that Aliyananda was wonderful - warm, funny, caring, insightful. just a beautiful person. The Kriya Yoga exercises were really helpful to guide me towards a better way of meditating and when we did the group meditation the peace that it created was as I had never experienced before . I am hoping to persuade my wife Jenny to come along in October. Please pass on my love and thanks to Aliyananda
