We celebrated Swami Kriyananda Ji’s 100th birthday by watching videos and the movie The Answer based on his life. We also sang songs written by him, chanted and meditated to receive his blessings on this special occasion.

Today marks the 100th birthday of Swami Kriyananda Ji who was a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda Ji and the founder of Ananda Sangha. His whole life was dedicated to serving his Guru and spreading the sacred teachings of Kriya Yoga. He wrote 150 books and 400 pieces of music and set up many spiritual communities.
Today we offer our hearts love, gratitude and devotion at his feet for showing us how to be good disciples and follow this sacred path towards Self realisation. 🙏🏻🌸

Humility is not self-deprecation; it is self-forgetfulness! It is knowing that God alone is the Doer. It is the realization that nothing in this shadow-world of appearances is all that important, except as it draws us closer to the Lord.
Never tell yourself that you are sinful, or weak, or incompetent, or lazy, except as such a statement may help you to surrender joyfully to God’s power. Then live by that power! Never wear the mask of false humility. Humility is self-acceptance, and self-honesty. You have a right to all power if you seek it in Infinity, and if you never hold the thought that it resides in your little self.

COME TO ME AS BUDDHA

O Buddha, thy golden sermon of mercy ran like revivifying water through rocky gorges of gloomy hearts, illuminating their darkness.

Thou lofty soarer in renunciation's skies, before thy God- liffed eves the kingdom of sense-comfort was overrun by nuns preaching inner freedom. Stvollen rivers of monks and lust-scorched deserts of desire; tall trees of temporal ambition: cactus plants of prickly worries: all melted into smallness then to invisibility.

Buddha, the arc-light of thy sympathy sought to melt the hardness of cruel hearts. Thou didst even save a lamb once by offering thyself in its stead.

Thy solemn thoughts even now roam silently through the ether of all minds, searching for ecstasy-tuned hearts. Seated under the bodhi tree, thou madest a solemn tryst with the Spirit:

"Beneath this sacred bough.
On my seat of dedication
I take this solemn vow:
Let derma, bones, and fragile flesh dissolve,
But until life's mystery I solve
And find that all-coveted ,Priceless Truth,
From this spot shall I never, never stir:
Oh, nevermore!"

Thou symbol of sympathy, incarnation of mercy, give us thy great will power that we may seek the truth as determinedly as didst thou. Bless us that, like thee, we may awaken to seek remedy for the sorrow-throbs of all others, as we seek it for ourselves.

Paramhansa Yogananda says, “Chanting is half the battle.”
Divinely uplifting music composed in a state of God communion has the power to uplift our consciousness. Music and chanting forms and integral part of our path and opens our hearts to Divine love.
The Kirtans at the retreat were really uplifting, and helped us connect deeper within. We also sang songs written by Swami Kriyananda Ji and heard some music composed by him.

Willingness must be cultivated deliberately. It is an attitude of mind, and depends not on outward conditions.
Most people are willing or unwilling depending on their likes and dislikes. This habit tends to develop a bias toward unwillingness, which gradually becomes chronic, and attracts to itself chronic failure.
Don’t wait for favorable circumstances to awaken willingness in you. Train yourself in the attitude of saying yes to life! Often by this simple attitude you will find Success arriving, unexpected, at your door!
