The year 2020 was a big surprise in so many different ways. It was the 100th Anniversary of Yogananda arriving in America, and we began it by giving out 2020 Ananda Janaka Grants in early February. These grants were intended to help the Ananda Communities and Centers with expenses for their celebration events. One month later, when the Coronavirus was declared a pandemic, all but one of these events had to be re-scheduled for online only. Each Ananda Community and Center faced its very real challenges in being able to do this, but, each event did happen!
See the 7 events that took place and how the 2020 Grants helped to make them possible. Photo: Pier Park, Boston on Sept 19, 2020 where Yogananda arrived at a pier 100 years ago! The photo is of the Ananda East Coast event held to celebrate this momentous arrival.
By including the Ananda Janaka Foundation in your will, trust, or other estate planning you are supporting the future of Ananda.
Contact Parvati Hansen at 530-478-7695 or parvati@anandajanakafoundation.org for further information.
We are now the Ananda Janaka Foundation. Any previous planning naming the “Janaka Foundation” in Wills and Trusts, etc., continues to be legally valid.
