    Is self-effort more important, or is faith? Maria tells stories from Ananda to illustrate the right balance of these two qualities.

40 years after he first arrived at Ananda Village, Nitai gives the last Sunday Service before heading to the Ananda Center at Laurelwood near Portland.

In the autobiographical talk, Nitai discusses what brought him onto the spiritual path and how the journey of finding the practice of meditation, Autobiography of a Yogi, Ananda, and Swami Kriyananda prepared him to let go of the little “self” and embrace the big “Self.”
