Love Each Other – Satsang from the Temple of Light at Yasodhara Ashram & online weekend AGM retreat – November 2020The theme for our weekend of gathering together this year was Joy is the Gift of Love. Swami Sukhananda started with a live Satsang, with Stine Marie, Niamh, Judith and Francesca assisting – 24 of us participated from 9 countries in our first Transatlantic live Satsang.
We reflected on questions about how we can love one another and stay together to support our growth towards the Light in a world where borders have closed and travel has become more difficult.
These are Swami Radha’s words from her last message: Stay together, love each other, support this work and the Ashram in the spirit it was started, granting each other the freedom to have their personal experience of God. Strengthen your faith, and you will have no need for seeking acceptance by others. Open the doors of your heart… Be persistent. Suspend judgment and instead, try to understand.

It really was so special to have satsang from the Temple! And I would like that to happen again. (Jane, England)
