Divine Romance: Yogananda’s Keys for Developing Devotion

  • Ananda Temple 2171 El Camino Real Palo Alto, CA United States (map)

Wednesdays in October, 7pm • free
(no live-stream; in person only)

Paramhansa Yogananda described the spiritual path as a “divine romance” — an ever-deepening love affair between the soul and God. The Autobiography of a Yogi and all of his writings are suffused with a passionate love and yearning for God.

  • How do we cultivate the right personal relationship with the divine?

  • How to pray so we can feel God’s response?

  • How do we purify our hearts to cultivate faith and childlike surrender?

Explore these questions experientially, and through stories from Yogananda’s life. Work with two of the most powerful, practical tools that he gave us to open a channel to the divine:

  • Prayer Demands from Whispers from Eternity: A practical way to tap into our heart’s highest aspirations and develop intimacy with God

  • Chanting as described in the Cosmic Chants: The devotional science of transforming the heart’s energy and focus it through meditation

Through reflection, practice, chanting, and discussion, deepen your relationship with the Divine — not as an abstract idea, but as your closest friend, beloved, and eternal companion.

All are welcome. Led by Saiganesh and other teachers.
