Natalia BensonGUEST
And he was a disciple of Yogananda and he was very old.
Natalia BensonGUEST
He was so funny.
GyandevHOST
I doubt that very many people in this room or online have actually had that fullness of experience of God.
GyandevHOST
Even Swami Kriyananda, until the very end of his life, has said, you know, I don't know there's a God.

JyotishHOST
The past months in India have been intense, the conclusion of one of the most demanding years of our lives.
JyotishHOST
We gave dozens of classes and satsangs, shared countless meals and cups of tea, and had many conversations about ananda's work it has been wonderful and inspiring but now we are ready for a change not just one of location but of life focus Paramahansa Yogananda told Swami Kriyananda that his life would be one of intense activity and meditation.
JyotishHOST
It was no accident that he put service first.
JyotishHOST
And until now, our own life has followed the same pattern.

Well, Pluto station and now it's, it's also the Venus square Pluto that we're also in at the moment too, which yeah, I mean, so often just unlike any or similar to any wound, you can see some healing on the surface, but yet there can be damage underneath that.
Jill LoftisGUEST
And it's still tender and it still comes up and you know a lot of times i i try to describe to to clients and things like that look if you if you think about the vast ocean of love that you had for that person you still have that same level of emotionality but now it's gone it's turned into something else it's in that transformative process right matter doesn't really go away it just changes form And anger, really, the root of anger, my teacher always taught us, Goswami Kriyananda, he would always say the root of anger is just fear.
Jill LoftisGUEST
It's the fear of being hurt again, the fear of thinking that you trusted the wrong person or that you betrayed yourself by trusting them.
Jill LoftisGUEST
I mean, there's just so much, there's so much material there.

The masters of every religion, the saints of every religion, all elevated shamans of every path The message is always in essence first things first and the first thing is God That's the short path And from there we just have to fill in the blanks When Swami Kriyananda founded Ananda.
AnantaHOST
He was very clear that the purpose of Ananda in whatever manifestations it would ever take was to help people find God and to support each other spiritually.
AnantaHOST
In our case, to use the practices of Kriya Yoga, but acknowledging that there are many true paths to God, many techniques, and all true masters give guidance for all disciples to put God first, first things first.
AnantaHOST
Swami Kriyananda, by the 70s, Ananda had already gotten the spiritual foundation down, and with that spiritual foundation of daily meditation, living for God, respecting all religions, seeing God in everyone.
AnantaHOST
Then Master decided to burn the community down to the ground and we'll start all over again.
AnantaHOST
Materially, but not spiritually.
AnantaHOST
This is Ananda.
DeviHOST
Emulating our guru, we can also choose to live in joy under all circumstances.
DeviHOST
As Swami Kriyananda said, joy is the solution, not the reward.
DeviHOST
Another disciple of Master, Yogacharya Oliver Black, once said, I have created a bubble of joy around me and I don't let anyone or anything burst this bubble.
DeviHOST
End quote.
