Continuing Connections
I first met Swami Radhananda about 18 months after Swami Radha’s death, when she was quite new in her role heading up the ashram and overall community. It was all new to me, and I remember trying to figure it all out – the teachings, the ashram, the community in the snow in the mountains […]
My friend – memories
I met Mary-Ann when she was a loving and devoted mother of two young children, always smiling and laughing. We went though some sad times together but it resulted in her conviction that there was another path waiting for her. Mary-Ann was a mover and shaker. She was a political activist, willing to discuss the […]
Remembering Swami Radhananda

Swami Radhananda’s clear Commitment to her own personal growth, to living the Teachings on a daily basis, to discovering who she is within her challenges, her triumphs, her losses, her responsibilities to being the Lineage Holder, all inspire me. She more than earned her wings on January 28, 2021. As our Ancestor her example continues […]
when I think of you…

All I can think of these days is you walking, your sudden joyous sprints, your determined getaways, your sweet shuffle holding on to me, your limitless delight of flower, branch, leaf, raven, sky. Walks where you would work out the content of your mind, walks in silence, walks in whispers and the sound of our […]
In Gratitude
Swami Radhananda inspired, enlightened and challenged me in so many ways. She didn’t tell me what I wanted to hear but what I needed to know. Her wisdom shattered many of my old, fossilized, hidden concepts and beliefs. Her commitment, dedication, courage and love for Swami Radha touches me deeply each time I read Carried […]
Swami Radhananda
Swami Radhananda touched my heart and life deeply as a friend and teacher. One example of her teaching skill is from a Kundalini and Dream course. Asked to reflect on: What is behind your urge to keep talking, I shared my response. Swami Radhananda asked what I could have done differently. I offered many ideas, […]
tribute to Swami Radhananda
I think Swami Radhananda’s step into the leadership of the ashram was very challenging and I admired her courage to do so with the initiative to make changes and open new doors for all of us. A couple of years ago, I watched some videos of her teaching workshops through the years and saw how […]
Bridging Heaven and Earth with Swami Samayananda

In this satsang, Swami Samayanda explores how in times of hopelessness we can find that transition from darkness to light when we understand how to live in two worlds – the earthly and the spiritual.
Giving Back to Life with Swami Jyotihananda

In this satsang, Swami Jyotihananda honors Swami Radha and the teachings by reflecting on giving back. Swami Radha would continuously say, “We have to give back to life.” She would also invite us to recognize what we already have – the many blessings life has given us. In this time of COVID, this is an […]
Stay Together, Love Each Other

In November, the European Yasodhara Yoga Network held a weekend of satsangs, Hidden Language Hatha Yoga and reflection sessions as well as the Annual General Meeting for the Radha House Association. They came together from many countries via Zoom as Swami Sukhananda asked, “what is love and what is it to stay together?” She explored […]
