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

So Much Gratitude
Swami Radhananda was a remarkable teacher to me. Whenever I spoke to her she heard me and supported me. With her no longer here in body I can turn to her books and I smile, as I see how much of what she wrote I have underlined. Thank you Swami Radhananda. Victoria Campbell

With Love and Gratitude
In my first YDC, year 2000, Swami Radhananda asked, as we approached the Celestial Wishing Tree, what is our wish? I said, “I want my voice to be released and I want it to be heard”. This has been my journey with her ever since. I have come to know and be myself, to acknowledge […]
In gratitude and love
I have not met Swami Radhananda in person, but feel like I know her – her heart, her presence, her strength – through her books, videos and spirit. On January 28th at the time of her transition, Swami Radhananda invited me along to support her journey through a transcendental vision. That evening, I literally saw […]
