A bright light

When I think of Swami Radhananda, I think of the sun shining in her shock of white hair, smiling graciously, walking the grounds of the Ashram with her companions. She was always a light to behold, and I miss running into her and giving her a bow on the grounds of the beautiful Yasodhara Ashram […]

In memory of Swami Radhananda and the Yasodhara lineage

Although my time with Swami Radhananda was mostly through her books, her Satsang talks and videos, and the summer pujas during my Karma Yoga stays, I would take delight in catching glimpses of her on her walkabouts at the Ashram in her final years. I felt the same joy as I do now when spotting […]

At a workshop where we drew faces, Swami Radhananda looked at mine and noted that it didn’t have any ears. She then walked on. I got the message. She didn’t have to berate me for it. I always appreciated her gentle way of teaching. . . . though I know she could be fierce at […]

Live your life fully

« Live your life fully, you can if you really want to. «  Those words that Swami Radhananda said to a group of YDCers are staying with me. Only a great teacher, one who herself has lived her life fully, is able to say that and encourage in doing that. Denise

Doing sun salutations became an act of reverence to the Light. I also remember another time when she read excerpts of Winnie the […]

Supporting the highest in you, in me, in us

Swami Radhananda saw each of our Light. She stayed focused on that. She had little patience when I acted small or unsure or arrogant. She knew the Light was there and reminded me to want it with all my heart. One day I was walking through the garden looking at the vegetables and insects with […]

Jaya Swami Radhananda

You who held me in your heart as I grew in strength. Accepting and challenging me while in your embrace. I watched you dance gracefully through the difficulties with a deep trust in your soul, with a deep knowing in the perfection of life. A humility unbound, listening to everything and everyone around you for […]
