Memories of Swamiji

Swami Kriyananda left his body nine years ago today.

We were living in Los Angeles at the time and when we got the news, I didn’t handle it very well. My immediate response was to say “NO!” — repeatedly and with strong emphasis.

A few days later we were on our way to Assisi, for Swamiji’s funeral. It was the shortest trip to Europe we’d ever made; four days total, if I remember correctly.

It’s now almost a decade later and I still miss him every day. And yet I also feel him with me every day as well. It’s kind of a paradox.

I hope with all my heart to accomplish all that I can in service to him through his music, and I feel him helping me to do so.

Thank you, dear Swamiji. 💗
