Inner Renewal Week Videos

We just completed a very deep and inspiring Inner Renewal Week at the Expanding Light Retreat. This annual week features morning classes with Jyotish & Devi, long meditations, and activities at Ananda Village. Community members, guests, and online friends were uplifted to new understanding about useful approaches to deepen their spiritual life. We invite you to enjoy these videos of Jyotish & Devi’s classes, now available online.

"The important distinction lies in the direction of one’s flow of energy. If that flow is focused inward upon the ego, in the thought of one’s own importance, it becomes contractive, and limiting. If on the other hand it is a radiation outward from one’s self, it becomes expansive." —Swami Kriyananda

Intentional Spiritual Aging

A frequently repeated theme in the Bhagavad Gita is the importance of preparing for death. Death is the "final exam." Swami Kriyananda stated that people should be readied for their final exit into a better world, a better future and if possible, liberation from earthly ties. He recommended counseling be given to both groups and individuals with a view to helping them ‘do the work’ now.
