www.findinghappinessmovie.com--A Film. A Vision. A True Story. The story of one journalist's discovery of a community of people who found a solution to the economic and social problems of our times-- to live a life founded on inner happiness and freedom.

This film is based on the true story of the Ananda world brotherhood colonies, led by Swami Kriyananda-- disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda, a Self-realized Master from India who came to the US in the 1920's to teach universal spirituality. Yogananda believed that most of society's problems were due to the people's search for happiness outside of themselves. He offered a solution that if people would come together to live in spiritual communities based on simple living and high-minded thinking, they could live more happily and freely. Swami Kriyananda made it his mission to make this vision a reality by founding the first Ananda spiritual community based on these ideals. Ananda communities today are world-wide.
