I first met Swami Chetan Jyoti Ma in the summer of
2002 at
Ananda Ashram in Monroe, NY when she came back
to the west for the first time in 30 years. Krishna Das
was instrumental in getting her over here to share her
great love of the Divine through chanting kirtans - the
practice of chanting names of the Divine that
transport you into the very heart of God. She came to
our center back then and we chanted our hearts out
with her! This left several dozen people in ecstasy
and some literally in tears
wanting more! Finally she's come back to the
US, sponsored by Anam Cara, and we look forward to
joyous kirtans with her!
You
can learn more about Swami Chetan
Jyoti Ma and where she'll be offering programs by
checking her
blog site connected to the Quick
Link above. She is originally from Canada and will be
in Toronto as well as offering kirtans in
Massachusetts.
Anam
Cara is able to bring Mataji here
through the generous contributions of our supporters.
Because of your gifts we are able to continue our
mission of making meditative practices from many
traditions available to all.
People have been
asking about when the next
Mysteries of the Divine Feminine and Kundalini
Empowerment retreat will be held. It will be
offered on the last weekend in October.
