- Promo Video Launch Soon! Amy Allcock, a videographer and former Ashram resident, has been gathering incredible shots of people and landscape around the Ashram. Amy is talented and also able to put people at ease, which comes through in her work. Dan Sequin, another former Ashram resident, added spectacular drone shots for the film. The script was inspired by Dave Sullivan, a participant of the 2019 Yoga Development Course, working with the Communications team. Thanks to all participants for their gracious time and enthusiasm. Stay tuned for the October launch!
- New Initiates – On September 8, Gurudev Sivananda’s birthday, Swami Lalitananda initiated two women into brahmacharya, a dedication to putting the Divine first in their lives. Leigh Monette took the name of Daya (grace and compassion) and Terry Taylor-Topp became Gauri (golden one). Their sanskrit names are reminders of the qualities they wish to embody.
