“When I am only a dream, read my Whispers from Eternity; Eternally through it I will talk to you.”
— Paramhansa Yogananda

Yogananda’s book Whispers from Eternity is a masterpiece. In the preamble to the 2008 edition (which Swami Kriyananda edited) he writes, “I consider this book the supreme contribution, spiritually speaking, of my life.”

We read from it every week at Sunday Service; it often moves us. But do we always understand the nuances? Do we understand in our heart of hearts how Yogananda instructed us to talk with God? Join us for this experiential, participatory journey into Yogananda’s consciousness. 

We’ll dive into the book, using:

  • Meditative listening

  • Shared insights

  • Introspection

  • Hands-on experiences

Note: Bring a copy of the 2008 edition of Whispers from Eternity edited by Kriyananda with you to class, like this one, or purchase in the bookshop.

Dr. Marcel (Mahavir) Hernandez

Marcel is a naturopathic doctor and medical professor by profession. But he shines in the evenings as a thespian and play director. He went to Stanford on full scholarship as a theater major, where he studied with acting greats such as Otto Preminger. He brings deep sensitivity and experience to stage direction, and brings Ananda plays to magical life on our small stage.
Nayaswami Biraj

Biraj’s warmth and joy are contagious. He has been practicing and teaching meditation since 1987, including at Ananda's Expanding Light retreat, on the east coast, and in India. He was a founding member of Ananda India, and also helped begin Ananda Valley Farm. His passions are singing, selfless service, and connecting meaningfully with others.
Nayaswami Lahari

Lahari is insightful, wise, and present. She has served in many of Ananda's colonies since 1986, including Ananda Village, Sacramento, Rhode Island, and India. She and her husband, Biraj, helped to found the new Ananda community near Pune, India, and more recently, the new Ananda Valley Farm in Half Moon Bay. Lahari is a pastoral counselor and teaches many programs at Ananda.
