The Ananda Dwapara Monastery provides an environment where brahmacharis can practice and live the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda.
It means daily meditation, energization exercises, yoga postures, time of silence, seva, chanting, voluntary seclusions, and further study of Yogananda’s teachings.
Because we’ve been moving up and down without a stop due to Swamiji’s lecture tour (he leaves us all gasping for air), the posting of the monk satsangs have been lacking.
However, the monk satsangs have been still taking place when Jemal ji was available to do them, and, Tuesday by Tuesday, the book was finished! See below the list of all the satsangs, given by Brahmachari Jemal, on this book of Swami: A Renunciate Order for the New Age. Read more…
Monks may come, monks may go, but the Monastery goes on forever! Here’s a picture of the current Monk Squad with Swamiji!
Back row. from left to right: Sagar, Amit, Devendra, Aditya, Hezequiel. Front row: Baraquiel, Riccardo, Anil, Swamiji, Jemal.
During that meeting, Swami said “It makes me so happy to see you all walking about in your yellow clothes.” We are happy to make him happy! :)
Joy to you!
Sadhu Beware! Satsang with Brahmachari Jemal on the 13th of November. He reads and then comments on chapter 2 of the book A Renunciate Order for the New Age: the Dilemma.
“We need to get to the point when we can completely be content within ourselves and not need anything, and then we can live that solitary life.”
Brahmachari Jemal reads from the book “A Renunciate Order for the New Age” and comments on it afterwards. This is one of the weekly “Sadhu Beware” monk satsangs we hold at the ashram.
“Whatever comes to you, if someone blames you, say, ‘maybe you’re right.’ Just see if you can take it! And know that it’s just God testing you. It’s hard, but the more we try these things, the more we grow.”
A satsang by Brahmachari Jemal, given on October 28th 2012, at Ananda Kriya Yogashram
“We’re on this quest to uphold these Divine Ideals, these secrets to man’s youth. We’re all searching for these things, and we come in at the beginning of life wanting this perfect love or this perfect joy, and we end up compromising.”
