We welcome you to our Ananda Sangha House in the spirit of community support for whatever your spiritual aspirations may be! Transform with us! (You can join us online as well if you can’t make it in person)
Sunday Satsang at Ananda is inspired by the meditation tradition of the East and the ancient teachings of mystical Christianity, with inspirational readings from both the Bible and the Bhagavad Gita. Service usually includes purification, chanting, affirmations, and meditation as well.
On the second Sunday of each month we invite one of Ananda’s most prominent teachers and leaders from around the world to join us online and share with us. We still come together in person and do the first part of the satsang as our traditional Sunday service with chanting, affirmations and readings and then at 11:00am we spend the last hour online with our special guest.
This week Tyagis Ram and Chandra join us from Ananda Village, CA.
