Greetings!
It was such a delight to see so many from Ananda Sacramento at the Village this weekend. Congratulations to our choir who performed beautifully as part of the instrumental and choral concert Saturday night.
We hope that many of you will be able to take the opportunity to visit Ananda Village in the coming weeks while Swamiji is there. He will do as many of the Sunday Services as his health permits.
