A Weekend in Divine Friendship
With Nayaswami Mantradevi and Nayaswami Krishna Das
May 17 - 19, 2024
Friendship and joy are the hallmarks of Ananda. Experience it in action during this weekend in honor of spiritual friendship.
When perfect friendship exists either between two hearts or within a group of hearts in a Spiritual Organization, such friendship perfects each individual.
—Paramhansa Yogananda
