Sharing the video of Jyotish’s celebration

I don’t know how Bhaktan and team captured this so beautifully on video (since I never saw them actively video recording during the event), but I’m grateful they did.

Not only for those who weren’t able to attend, but also for myself — and others who were in the midst of things — because it’s such a joy to be able to see it and hear it from the perspective of the audience.

If you watch it on YouTube, be sure and read the first comment. I’ve excerpted just a portion of it here:
“…The woman in blue introduced herself as Devi and carried an aura of peace, sweetness, and knowing as we began to chat. Upon leaving our brief talk, Jyotish looked at me, smiled, and pranam’d with hands folded 🙏 I was immediately uplifted and brought into an expanded state. A true blessing to have received his darshan. It wasn’t until a few days later that I was on YouTube learning more about Ananda that I realized they were the spiritual directors! The third woman was one of the Palo Alto Ananda leaders. Ananda is in good hands, led by God saturated souls.”

This man isn’t an Ananda member, but he totally tuned into the greatness that is Jyotish.

Gratitude for a beautiful birthday celebration

This evening we watched the video of Friday’s very beautiful Ananda Village event celebrating Swami Kriyananda’s birthday.

Of course, it would have been lovely to have participated ourselves (if only we could have been at the Village and in Lugano at the same time!), but it was deeply satisfying to see how wonderfully the music is going in our absence.

Kudos and heartfelt appreciation to the entire music team!

Celebrating Jeannie

Jeannie’s birthday was last weekend, but we decided to surprise her with a little celebration during our music meeting today.

It’s such a privilege to work and to serve with this great soul, who has been a true divine friend for a couple of decades by now.

She also happens to have a dynamite smile! 😄
