Importance of Communities and Retreats

Nayaswami Jaya, Nayaswami Sadhana Devi
Ananda Pune, 10 September 2017

Category: Satsangs (Weekly Gatherings)

Keep a spiritual bodyguard, especially when circumstances require you to mix with uncongenial people.

The magnetism of two is stronger than that of one. When moving in a crowd, try never to go alone; always have a few friends around you.

If you must be in crowds, imagine yourself haloed by an aura of light. Consciously emanate vibrations of love and joy all around you. One evening, years ago, I was obliged to enter the nightclub district of San Francisco. As I went, I silently chanted, “Sri Ram, jai Ram, jai jai Ram.” I was aware of tentacles of negativity reaching out to grab me, but they slipped by without even touching me.
