The first time that I met Swami Radhananda was at Pakefield doing a Retreat with two other colleagues in 2009. She did not speak much, which contrasted with my Portuguese yoga teacher that made long talks in her retreats. This contrast made me feel uneasy in the beginning. However, the reflections that came to me during those two days were amazing and I never felt so much peace in my life. Later, during my visits at the Ashram, I could experience that just her presence and her Light were enough to take me to a beautiful place of peace and wisdom. Her silence and the way she listened were so rich and full of Love and Light. I and my colleagues were very blessed by having Swami Radhananda leading a weekend workshop in Braga. At the end of the workshop, all the participants shared beautiful poems that showed how deep their reflections were and how much peace and love came out from their hearts.
