Blessed by Swamiji

Ramesha did a really great job designing the mugs for “The Christmas Mystery Collection.” I especially like this one with the cover artwork on one side and a combined photo of Swamiji with the group on the other.

In fact, as I happened to see it this morning while rushing around preparing for today’s concert, it struck me that Swamiji was actually blessing us.

And I do believe that’s exactly what happened today. It was a joyful, grace-filled process from start to finish, with a completely successful evening being the end result.

What joy (details tomorrow)!

A long and wonderful day

Ananda LA’s Yogananda Fest was tremendously successful on every level, filled with inspiration, creativity, service, and satsang.

We reconnected with old friends and met strangers who felt like we’d known them forever.

There’s more I could say but I’m too tired. And tomorrow is Sunday service, followed by the long drive home.

So…good night!

What an accomplishment!

Hats off to the team who were inspired by a vision, put out tons of energy, and manifested an absolutely wonderful Harvest Festival here at Ananda Village!

I couldn’t go during the day, but attended the Farm-to-Table dinner at The Expanding Light Retreat in the evening, which was a huge success as well.

I love my community. ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿ‚๐Ÿ˜Š

A successful & productive retreat!

Ramesha, Bhagavati, Pavani, Jeannie at the end of our music retreat.

Ramesha summarized our retreat so well, I’m going to copy his words here!

“Today we had a very productive music retreat at Crystal Hermitage.

It helped us clarify our next steps for the music ministry, both here at Ananda Village and worldwide.

We met in Swamiji’s apartment and we could feel his guidance throughout the meeting.

Thank you, Swamiji! ๐Ÿ™

In fact, the retreat was so successful and productive that Pavani, Jeannie, and I ended up doing a major feng shui rearrangement of the music office! We completely freed up the wealth corner and spiffed up the wisdom corner as well.

It was quite a day!
