Dear John, Swami Kriyananda once sang, "What we need is light! For we only best the devil when we love..." How true this is! We simply cannot conquer darkness by adding our own negativity to the world's already overflowing cup of troubles. What's truly needed is our understanding, acceptance, and compassion.
This week, we're dedicated to offering you tools that will uplift your consciousness, helping you live more deeply in that divine state. As Paramhansa Yogananda so powerfully declared, what will ultimately change the world is a "national league of hearts." May we all strive to lead the way to a United States of the world!
New Card Deck!
Inspirational cards featuring ten uplifting messages from Paramhansa Yogananda's teachings, each paired with artwork by Nayaswami Jyotish. Created by Ananda Worldwide's Spiritual Directors, Nayaswami Jyotish and Nayaswami Devi, these cards offer spiritual guidance to live the teachings in our daily life.
This is a special painting. There is a small temple high in the Himalayas at Kedarnath that was said to have been built by the Pandavas as they were leaving this earth. Many miracles surround the temple and the area. The year before we visited, the temple was miraculously spared from a disastrous landslide. This painting shows Paramhansa Yogananda, who was Arjuna in a former lifetime, revisiting the temple he helped build. He pauses at the end of a long trek, waiting for us to catch up to him.
