Gathering my stories of Swamiji

Swamiji listening while Dharmini Iyer and I performed with Jeannie Tschantz (not pictured) during Spiritual Renewal Week (probably 2008 or so).

The stories that came up during last night’s satsang with Jyotish and Devi rekindled my determination to capture in writing my various experiences and time spent with Swami Kriyananda over the years.

I’ve been saying I’m going to do it ever since he passed away in 2013, but it’s starting to grow in urgency.

So, in order to simply get started and move some energy, I’ve decided to devote some of my daily blog posts to this process.

The idea is to begin by outlining things chronologically, then gradually flesh out the different categories as I go along. We’ll see if this strategy enables me to finally make some progress.

Well, here goes nothin’! 😄
1. My first experiences of Ananda and the music
2. Becoming part of Ananda Palo Alto
3. My first “meetings” with Swamiji
4. Oratorio choir tour to Italy
5. Moving to Italy and then Switzerland
6. The one year leave-of-absence that’s lasted fifteen years
7. Ananda Village (1)
8. Los Angeles
9. Ananda Village (2)
