In late July, we set out from Ananda Village, a beloved community founded by Swami Kriyananda in 1969, to share the joy of our guru’s teachings. Our journey began in Ananda Assisi, where we connected with friends through various activities, including satsangs and celebrations. We felt at home despite our limited Italian. The highlight was India's first Spiritual Renewal Week in Puri, which brought together 250 devotees in person and another 100 online from diverse backgrounds. The event, filled with inspiring activities, culminated in a concert that left many of us feeling Swamiji’s presence in a profound way. We both realized that Ananda is where love and devotion unite us beyond borders. It exists in our hearts as a safe and blissful refuge. May we always embody that spirit of Ananda! Your friend in God, Nayaswami Devi.
