Exciting new developments

While we were in Lugano a couple of months ago, I felt a certain amount of inward restlessness. It was hard to pin down and define. The best I could come up with was that I felt some sort of shift was trying to happen.

In fact, for some time I had been becoming aware of a subtle but gradually increasing sense that we needed to be doing something more to accomplish our mission in serving the music of Ananda.

Well, not too long after we got back from Europe, Ramesha made the decision to reduce his teaching schedule in order to serve the music ministry full time. This is a huge shift — for him and for me — which is rippling out and inspiring the exciting new developments which we’re sharing about in the letter that follows.

Dear friend,

We’d like to share some exciting new developments about our work in service to Ananda Music.

Starting in the next few months, Bhagavati and I will be focusing a lot more on traveling to Ananda centers and meditation groups to provide support with learning, singing, and more deeply understanding our music.

We’ve experienced again and again the transforming power of Ananda Music; we want to make it possible for more people to benefit from it.

Our goal is to support everyone who wants to learn and sing our wonderful music!

🎈 If this project inspires you and you feel to support our efforts and help with travel expenses, we invite you to join our Bhagavati & Ramesha Patreon.

As a thank you for your generous help you will receive an exclusive video from us every month. 🙏💫

Yay! The energy is definitely moving and we’re thrilled with the prospect of potentially visiting five different Ananda communities between now and the end of the year!

Ananda Music has an app!

Yep, this morning Ananda India launched the brand new Ananda Music App! If you love Swami Kriyananda’s music and would like to listen to more of it, this app is for you!

Since the launch in India happened at 6:30am Pacific time, we’ll do another one for the USA and Europe very soon. In the meantime, everyone is welcome to download and try the app out right away. The first 60 days are free; after that there will be a small annual fee, with the proceeds being funneled back into further developing and improving the app.

For iPhone: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ananda-music/id1658814958?platform=iphone

The India launch of the app was very inspiring, with Nayaswami Jaya and Nayaswami Dhyana (the directors of Ananda India) sharing about their experiences with Swami Kriyananda as he was writing the music, and the impact it has had on their lives. There’s also a short demo of the app itself. Here’s where you can view the video

I love the fact that we can now say, “Ananda Music? There’s an app for that!”
