To begin with, spirituality is not just about rituals; rather, it is about connecting with the inner self. Anakhyara Kriya Yogashram, under the guidance of Swami Anand Raja, offers seekers a chance to walk on this sacred path. In fact, the ashram is known as a peaceful and healing space where people come to release stress, overcome inner struggles, and discover true clarity. Born as Santosh Kumar Sahoo on February 7, 1966, Swami Anand Raja’s journey began at a young age. At only 12 years old, he was initiated into Hans Sadhana by Guru Shri Deoraj Paramhans of Ghanshyam Shanti Ashram in Khordha district. Later on, in 2011, he was initiated into Kundalini Yoga by Swami Anand Ekantak, a disciple in the tradition of Bhagwan Rajneesh. At that point, he was blessed with the spiritual name Swami Anand Raja. Furthermore, he received Kriya Yoga Sadhana from Guru Shri Lingaraj Nandan, which he continues to practice and share with seekers today.

The Divine Origin of Anakhyara Sutra Mahapurusha Achyutananda Das: The spiritual foundation of Anakhyara Kriya Yogashram and the Anakhyara Sutra is deeply rooted in the divine wisdom of Mahapurusha Achyutananda Das, the mystic saint of Nemala, Odisha. A spiritually realized master of the 16th century and one of the revered Pancha Sakha, he received direct divine knowledge from Lord Jagannath and became a beacon of light for seekers of truth. Achyutananda Das envisioned the Anakhyara Sutra as the secret path of soundless sound—a journey inward through Kriya Yoga, Kundalini awakening, and chakra realization. His mystical writings, prophecies (Malikas), and yogic revelations guide the soul toward Sahasrara, the crown of divine consciousness
