Honouring the Great Life of Swami Radhananda
Honouring Swami RadhanandaWhen my eyes first met yours, time stood still, embraced as I was by your presence. It was the 1997 YDC, I was new to the ashram and felt bewildered and lost. In those days we gathered in the atrium before meals and would all do a practice together before eating. The Divine […]

I’m reviewing my diaries of 30 years. Swami Radhananda has been with me through it all.I have never known such Love. With Deepest Gratitude Parvati
Gratitude
Thank you Swami Radhananda for seeing the bigger picture and for encouraging me to observe the smaller details; for affirming directions and decisions by simply asking me, “why not?” with a laugher that banished fear; for showing me how to observe the humming birds quietly quietly, and for encouraging me to take risks, and for […]
with profound gratitude
While I met Swami Radhananda some time ago, I have known her principally from her writing and through participating in classes she facilitated.

This is a great gift and discipline, to have knowledge but to let others find […]
Remembering Swami Radhananda

Swimming in Erowal Bay, chanting by the water, meeting […]
Thanking Swami Radhananda
One of the many things I loved about Swami Radhananda was the absolute confidence she had in the power of the teachings. This allowed her to make the learning experience very spacious, giving one question and leaving participants to go off on their own to find their own answers. The depth of wisdom in her […]
On the Wings of Love
You gave constantly—no time to waste! You continued Swami Radha’s work of waking us up. There were sweet times, intensely challenging times—and through it all I felt your love, your compassion, your integrity and your continual encouragement to keep going, keep taking the next step. In the end, just like Swami Radha, you brought us […]
Tribute to Sw. Radhananda
I have known Swami Radhananda throughout the years following the passing of Swami Radha. In class she would always ask , after an assignment: “What have you learned?” It always took me by surprise because I wasn’t thinking in those terms. What did I learn??? The gift for me was clear and ever since, after […]
