How to Love God More Deeply
Cultivating Devotion
- Dec 27 – 29, 2019
- Dec 26 – 28, 2020
with Nayaswami Maria
Would you like to deepen your spiritual life and meditation practice?
People are often amazed by how important and transformative it is to deepen their love for God. And how simple it can be.
You can learn to dissolve the barriers and feelings of separation from the Divine. Paramhansa Yogananda gave us the key when he said: “To those who think me near, I will be near.”
Loving God more deeply will catapult your spiritual life forward.
During this weekend, we will explore:
- God as the Divine Mother
- How to worship the Infinite
- God as both personal and impersonal
- Love as the language of inner communion with God
- Love as the fuel to all of our spiritual practices
- Combining devotion and technique
- Loving God unconditionally
- Stories of great lovers of God
Deeper love for God can radically change your life, bringing more peace, more joy, and more purpose into every moment.
Join Nayaswami Maria, long-time Ananda Minister, for this deeply transfomative next step of your journey.
There are not many better ways to spend a weekend!
