Greetings!  

This weekend we have the great pleasure of hosting Nayaswamis Asha & David Praver from Ananda Palo Alto where they serve as Spiritual Directors.
 
Asha is author of Swami Kriyananda As We Have Known Him, a marvelous collection of more than 200 stories told by people who have been touched by his teachings and spiritual friendship, often in miraculous ways.
 
She is also one of Ananda's most gifted speakers. Sunday Service with her is always a joy.
Create Material Success Through Yoga Principles
Lotus BlossomThe Material Success class this week covers Chapter 12, What Kind of Compromises?
 
Nayaswami Kriyananda Writes, "I cannot imagine that I am unusual in having had, in my life, to deal with what seemed to me unreasonable demands from others... What I've always tried to do is affirm an inward sense of freedom, so that my reactions would proceed from my own integrity and not be influenced by others' opinions...
 
Be realistic! As my Guru [Yogananda] once put it,
 
Be practical in your idealism
 
Discuss this topic in depth with Raghu & Sabari Thursday at 7 pm

The sacred sounds of chants penetrate deeply into the consciousness. They have the power to transform and uplift the soul, and to open the heart. Chanting is an excellent, easy way to lift your spirits, and leave behind the stresses of everyday life.
