With great joy we offer you a program this year based on a book by Swami Kriyananda The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita drawn from Paramhansa Yogananda’s explanation of the timeless teachings of the Bhagavad Gita. Jyotish and Devi Novak have offered similar courses in the past, but this time we’ll be able to explore this powerful tool for personal evolution with the vibrant, clear book that Swami Kriyananda has just finished.

The central themes we will discuss are:

• How to fight and win the battle of life
• Overcoming mental and emotional traps
• How to find the kind of activity that leads to inner freedom
• Why we need to practice yoga, and how
• How to deepen your relationship with God

During his last years Yogananda commissioned Kriyananda to work with his Gita commentary, exclaiming, “A new scripture has been born! Millions will find God from this book. I know. I have seen it!” This is a rare opportunity to spend a week with Jyotish and Devi Novak, Ananda’s spiritual directors. They combine clear, centered energy and insights with a great sense of inspiration, kindness, and fun. This is a program you won’t want to miss.

Led by Jyotish and Devi Novak.
