Fire ceremony and meditation 9am, Sunday service 10-11:30 am

A special Sunday service with Nayaswamis Jyotish & Devi, spiritual directors of Ananda Worldwide. A rare opportunity to see, greet and hear them live. They generally visit palo alto once every year and this time, after a two year gap.

Services at Ananda are joyful, music-filled, and thoughtful. They explore meaningful answers to challenging questions about life. There is often laughter, and sometimes heartfelt tears.

Service is inspired by the spiritual teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda (Autobiography of a Yogi) and his lifelong disciple, Swami Kriyananda. It begins with a short period of chanting and meditation, followed by readings from the Bhagavad Gita and Bible, a 30-minute sermon, and a ceremony afterward, called the Festival of Light.
