I am so grateful for all the gifts Swami Radhananda gave me. Gifts that might seem small but meant the world to me. A quiet word of encouragement that I was on the right track. A wise question that made me sit up and take notice. Her wonderful smile of recognition when we met in Mandala house my last summer visit.
And I am so thankful for her strength and courage, matched by her ability to see a new way forward. Her presence still shines out so strongly here at the ashram but also in my life because she opened the door of Brahmacharya initiation to those that want it. What a gift she gave me, It is a gift that keeps on growing, and my gratitude fills my heart.
