Question

Answer

Dear Tyler,

Yes, there are pets at Ananda Village. A number of Village residents have cats just as you do.

We do however have a restriction against dogs. This is not because we don’t appreciate them, but rather because of the effect dogs have in our environment, especially in regards to the wildlife, such as the deer.

Ananda in Atlanta, Georgia

Aditya
U.S.A

Question

Dear sir,

Can we have Ananda in Atlanta city? There is no Ananda in the South. I meet people in here whose eyes tell that they want spirituality in there life. I can assure you many souls here wait for the arrival of Ananda in Atlanta.

Answer

Dear Aditya,

Ananda is always happy to support devotees in forming meditation groups wherever there is a need. But it isn’t that Ananda as an organization determines where we have such groups; rather it comes from the natural development among sincere devotees such as you coming together with other like-minded souls and growing in magnetism.

Finding Ananda in New Zealand

Richa
India

Question

I am in Auckland (NZ) basically from India. I am in search of Ananda devotees here so that I can discuss my spiritual path with others and share the books too. At times I feel real lonely here. It seems as if the materialistic things are diverting me from my actual path. Please help me in finding spiritual satsang here. Regards Richa
