October 2020 Newsletter

Dear friend,

Paramhansa Yogananda advised us to “think of Divine Abundance as a mighty, refreshing rain; whatever receptacle you have at hand will receive it. If you hold up a tin cup, you will receive only that quantity. If you hold up a bowl, that will be filled”. October is the beginning of a perfect time to bring in the harvest of our farms and markets, to treasure our special friendships near and far, and to celebrate the abundance of the blessings of our spiritualized lives. Hold up your big heart!

Yogananda asked us to further consider: “What kind of receptacle are you holding up to Divine Abundance? Perhaps your vessel is defective; if so, it should be repaired by casting out all fear, hate, doubt, and envy, and then cleansed by the purifying waters of peace, tranquility, devotion, and love. Divine Abundance follows the law of service and generosity. Give and then receive. Give to the world the best you have and the best will come back to you.”

Although our retreat doors remain closed our hearts remain open to our Divine friendship we share with you. We send our love and light and hold you in our prayers. Enjoy the abundance of ways to connect with Ananda, some of which we’ve shared below.  

Nityananda
