In the early 1990’s, I remember making a quick stop on my way to Nelson to see the Temple just before the wool carpet was to be laid. Swami Satyananda, Aarnon at that time, gave me a tour. A light snow was falling. Being in that still, sacred space brought tears to my eyes, stirring something in me.
It was through your time/presence at the Ashram that I sensed a shift in opening the Ashram to the wider community, to the world. Your promise to Swami Radha has brought so many to the Teachings. You made them accessible. You drew me in, like so many others, so that we might know the gift of the Teachings and share it with others too.
A memory from YDC was seeing you running, like a gazelle, through a path in the woods. Such grace in all your actions.
Your Light continues to shine. Your presence continues to be felt. You are as near to us as a thought or a dream.
