Dear John, In 2017, we were honored to receive—at the United Nations beautiful Tillman Chapel—the Global Ambassador Peace Award, for Ananda’s role in uplifting and unifying humanity through spirituality. Ananda is a beacon of light in this world, offering the wisdom and techniques of Self-realization to all who search for inner communion with the Divine. Ananda Sangha Worldwide is in a period of expansion and transition—the digital world is evolving very rapidly, and our many initiatives for reaching people are currently in the process of being upgraded to “Ananda 2.0.” We invite you to sustain Ananda’s global mission by giving to the 2018 Worldwide Appeal today. It is through the generosity of hearts like yours that Ananda’s work is made possible. May you feel blessed by your support of Ananda, and may you feel the golden thread of love that connects us all with the Giver of all gifts. In divine friendship, Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi Spiritual Directors, Ananda Sangha Worldwide |
