Tribute to Swami Radhananda
For myself “elegant grace” are the two words that best describe Swami Radhananda, as well as the ashram and the many teachings.Namaste!Bryan Bryan Buell
Swami Radhananda Gratitude
Swami Radhananda has been my inspiration in learning and sharing the Divine Light Invocation since 2006 YDC. She led us with such grace and softness sharing the knowledge as Swami Radha’s legacy lives on. Forever grateful for her teachings and her love for all. Hari Om Neermala
Forever grateful
I experienced Swami Radhananda as a woman of few words, but her words had a powerful impact on me. At the end of a YDC or teacher certification course she always asked; “What did you learn?” Much to my surprise a succinct answer always came to me. That was the power of her words and […]
Lasting wisdom
I came to the ashram in the late summer, the first year that the youth program started. Swami Lalitananda and Swami Radhananda played a big role in guiding us youth that year. In looking back now, it was a remarkable experience to be a youth in the program’s early days. The generosity from all of […]
Swami Radananda
I Haven’t been to the ashram in many years due to health reasons. I remember my 1st time at the ashram about 20 years ago at least. Swami Radanada was in the book store I was struck by her quiet and peaceful manner, and at Satsang how she would speak in a gentle way yet […]

Love
Love. Growth. Tremendous gratitude. Hari Om Jo Ann Hamm

When I think of Swami Radhananda, I think of the sun shining in her shock of white hair, smiling graciously, walking the grounds of the Ashram with her companions. She was always a light to behold, and I miss running into her and giving her a bow on the grounds of the beautiful Yasodhara Ashram […]
In memory of Swami Radhananda and the Yasodhara lineage
Although my time with Swami Radhananda was mostly through her books, her Satsang talks and videos, and the summer pujas during my Karma Yoga stays, I would take delight in catching glimpses of her on her walkabouts at the Ashram in her final years. I felt the same joy as I do now when spotting […]
Listening
At a workshop where we drew faces, Swami Radhananda looked at mine and noted that it didn’t have any ears. She then walked on. I got the message. She didn’t have to berate me for it. I always appreciated her gentle way of teaching. . . . though I know she could be fierce at […]
