Prefer the SRF

Much prefer the authorized SRF methods

Update makes app unusable

I donโ€™t know what happened. I was using the app and it worked great since the beginning of this year (2020). After the very recent upgrade it does not work at all. The meditations do not load and my custom ones (that I had to rebuild because they did not come over with the update) only work randomly, and have never completely worked through a session. Please bring back the original app!

Energization exercise

We love Gyandev! Thank you and many blessings

Meditation sublime!

A truly wonderful app that really teaches you to take stock of your current lifestyle and eliminate attitudes and beliefs that have had the effect over many lifetimes of distancing you from God. It makes you realize where and how you have gone astray and shows you how to get back again to where you are meant to be!

Wonโ€™t Open

I love this app and use it everyday, twice a day, faithfully. So imagine my disappointment in finding the app crashes every time I open it. Please fix soon...please!

Response from developer

Apologies for the down time! เฅ

Dear Ananda

I am enjoying your app. But for some reason I am unable to open the app today. It opens the app and shows the splash screen and displays landing screens and scrolls to my last position and crashes.

Please release a fix for this.

Love this

Thanks for putting up a free app like this. I am alive just by doing your meditations in this app and all the breath exercises

The most comprehensive app for Meditation

Ananda Meditation app is the most comprehensive and easy to use app for meditation. It has an option for every palette, from short visualisations to long meditations, chanting and prayers. What I like best is the customisation option. This app has both regularised and deepened my practice. Thank You and Jay Guru

Very Dharmic

I really enjoy this app a lot more than the new SRF system although they also have moved forward leaps and bounds from my first paper lessons in my three ringed binders. I like how it keeps stats on my progress although in truth I spend a lot longer portions of my day on YouTube listening to Asha, swami, and Roy they have a particular vibration that seems easier to tune into. This app is a great asset on the spiritual development, I'm hoping to master patanjalis yoga sutras and rework my neurological pathways to figure out each of the triggers for my seven endocrine glands which produces the hormones or energy the Chinese and Japanese call chi and which you call prana and then move all that energy up into my brain loop it around my aura like I did when I was at Ananda and enter a state of consciousness that utterly terrified me but was ecstatic beyond anything I'd ever experienced. To bad there's not a God realized master to help me finish my training. I could really use a guru in the flesh to guide me through this very difficult endeavor. In any case great app and will continue to increase my meditation durations I just get so amped up from 15-30min I can hardly stand all the blissful kundalini chills that move up my spine and into my brain it is extremely difficult for me to sit down for longer durations but I enjoy meditation practice throughout the day in waking consciousness. Today is my birthday and the tenth year of my meditation practice I started to meditate 5 minutes a day when I was 22 after my soul was ripped out of my body and I was transported to the 7th astral heavens which forever is my home and drives my soul towards ever more spiritual life forms as I long to go back and be there permanently. Which the light beings said was possible so long as I lived accordingly and helped humanity to step into its fullest potential with the help of my friends from both east and west John the Baptist and bobaji Krishna and each of the most highly developed saints from recently recorded history along with some angels who have never incarnated and some alien beings who's souls descended into human wombs they are human in life but they're from somewhere else Orian, pledian, or whatever. Be great to find all the saints with an education bill for our public schools. Everyone can meditate so if they train children about amino acids and getting full proteins from vegetarian foods, meditation practices and the practical effects in the body and brain from said technical training from a scientific perspective using words like hormones, parasympathetic nervous system, autonomic nervous system, endocrine glands, neurological pathways, human magnetic energy field, Electroencephalogram for running diagnostics on brain development between the states of consciousness alpha delta theta beta and gamma. Words like that would help to westernize the teachings and quantify them in a way that works in a non dogmatic way for any faith or religious affiliation to use them in their daily lives to increase their bodies ability to perceive the known world. It would be really cool to partner with muse electroencephalograms as you can find on amazon and develop a website or login where you can share and chart your progress in rank that way if there's a person who's a Muslim and I identify as a Christian that we could look say Raheesh you quite the meditator do you think that I could meditate with you because to deepen both of our practices.

Energization

I love this teaching demo.
It is so helpful for learning the EEโ€™s that even a Klรถtze like I can easily follow along and learn. The the variety of fast forwards allows one to practice on oneโ€™s own and fast forward to sections needing review.
Great job Richard โค๏ธ

Beautiful, Helpful, Amazing

Thank you all Ananda brothers and sisters for creating this amazing app full of beautiful meditations that are so helpful in my life. Canโ€™t recommend enough to anybody who wants to start meditating or is already on the path of going back within.
