What Do We Do Now: Finding Inner Peace in Uncertain Times
May 30, 2026, 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm.
Free – All are welcome

Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi, spiritual directors for Ananda worldwide, will visit Seattle and share inspiration on a topic both timely and timeless: What do we do now? Finding Inner Peace in Uncertain Times.

We all face uncertainty whether in our private lives or in our concern for our country and the world. Who can deny that the degree of uncertainty and the pace of change has intensified, whether within us or around us? As Paramhansa Yogananda put it, “Your beliefs won’t save you.” Who we are, in ourselves, is more important than the circumstances that we face. What we need is calmness, courage, and faith, just to name a few of the core qualities that lay hidden within us.

On Saturday, May 30 at the Blue Lotus Temple in Bothell, Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi will offer to us the keys to inner freedom and soul joy. As the successors to Ananda’s founder, Swami Kriyananda, they have spent over fifty years living and sharing the practice and path of meditation, service, and self-offering. As prolific authors, their latest books will be published this year and they will no doubt also share inspiration from these as well: Nayaswami Jyotish on the subject of service (seva), and Nayaswami Devi on the subject of emerging trends as expressed in the lives of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda.

Afterwards you are invited to a repast of savories and sweets to mingle and greet our guests and your many friends at Ananda.
