Now is the time! For the artist, the precarious nature of the world can be experienced as a creative catalyst, a call to adventure, a push to step up and allow our inner Genius to flow at a higher level. When the world seems to be plunging into chaos and confusion, it is the artist who turns inward for inspiration to light the way and lead humanity out of darkness with love and compassion. Live, weekly broadcast with visual artist and meditation guide Palehorse. This broadcast is part of a series of live, solo episodes on the theme of Superconscious creativity, meditation and following the inner muse to make the world a more beautiful place through our work. When we heed this call to adventure, face our fears and follow the inner guidance, we align with our soul's purpose. Our entire life becomes a beautiful work of art –an expression of calm feeling, –a magical quest for Bliss and transformation no matter what is going on in the world around us. Affirmations: I step forward with perfect faith in the power of the Omnipresent Goodness, to bring me what I need, at the time I need it. - Yogananda I hold my thoughts up to the Calmness within; in Calmness I receive inspiration from my higher Self. - Swami Kriyananda

A single theme runs through spiritual teachings like a string that connects the beads of a mala. That theme is: Pay attention, focus on what you are doing, be here now. At this time of year many people make resolutions for the new year. Generally, these are about creating new, healthy habits or leaving behind harmful ones. They're typically about something on the physical plane—diet, say, or exercise. A few people may resolve to improve mental or emotional habits: changing attitudes or controlling emotions. Fewer still make resolutions about their spiritual lives. All of these are helpful, especially the spiritual resolutions. These help us transcend the endless dualities of maya rather than, as Swami Kriyananda occasionally put it, “trying to improve the mud puddle we're sitting in.”

Now is the time to remember our innate power to rise above whatever challenges lie before us. Perhaps we can't change the world, but then again, united in faith in God, perhaps we can. Swami Kriyananda said that those seeking God have chosen to incarnate at this time for a purpose—to balance the downward-flowing energy around us with light and faith in a higher reality.

She is a master teacher, considered by many to be one of the most nuanced and clear teachers of Yoga in the World today. Asha is a lifelong disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda; she studied and worked closely with his direct disciple, Swami Kriyananda, for 45 years. Asha means “hope” in Sanskrit.

Swami Kriyananda once shared a remarkable experience he'd had while giving a Kriya Yoga initiation. After the ceremony he told a small group of us who had gathered around him, “As each one of you came up for the blessing, I could feel your unique path to God.” His words were thrilling on two levels: first, that we would find God; and secondly, that our path to soul freedom lay before us and could be seen by one with higher awareness.

Swami Kriyananda lived with his guru, Paramhansa Yogananda, for the last three and a half years of the great master's life. The teachings and training that Swamiji received from him during that time have inspired and guided the work of Ananda, which now reaches countless souls throughout the world. Here are two stories from Swamiji's early days with his guru that can help us in our spiritual as well as our everyday life.

Watch this inspiring Sunday Service talk with Naya...

How we work with others is an indication of how we work with ourselves. We can apply these principles to our own lives.

Asha Nayaswami was a spiritual seeker since her early youth. While studying at Stanford University in 1969, she heard Swami Kriyananda speak for the first time. “I knew the moment he walked into the room that he possessed the consciousness I had long been seeking.”She soon became a founding member of the new community Swami was starting near Nevada City, California, called Ananda Village, based on Yogananda's dream of world brotherhood colonies for “simple living and high thinking.”Swami Kriyananda placed Asha in the role of teaching and counseling soon after her arrival. She also served as Swami's correspondence secretary and personal assistant for many years.She has served as one of the spiritual directors of Ananda Palo Alto since 1987, guiding the development of Ananda's work in the San Francisco Bay Area, including helping to launch Living Wisdom Schools and Ananda Farm, and supporting a large staff and volunteer team involved in East West Bookshop, Ananda Community, Ananda centers and meditation groups in the Bay Area, Ananda music, and a vital, lively theater arts program.Asha is a Nayaswami. In 2009, she took vows in the renunciate order that Swami Kriyananda founded. (“Naya” means “new” in Sanskrit). You will often recognize a nayaswami by the rich blue color they wear. “Blue suggests calmness, kindness, and an expansive consciousness,” writes Swami in A Renunciate Order for the New Age. This new renunciate order is very much like the ancient swami order in spirit, but is a new expression for an age of higher awareness. Its emphasis is on positive renunciation—a joyful expansion to Infinity. The vows of the new renunciate order.Asha's most recent book is Swami Kriyananda: Lightbearer, published in 2019. She is also author of Ask Asha: Heartfelt Answers to Everyday Dilemmas on the Spiritual Path; Loved and Protected: Stories of Miracles and Answered Prayers; and Swami Kriyananda As We Have Known Him, a collection of more than 200 stories by people who have been touched by his teachings and spiritual friendship.Please enjoy my conversation with Asha Nayaswami.

Many of you reading this blog will have heard Swami Kriyananda's beautiful song, “The Shawl of Gold.” But few of you will have heard the rest of the story. This is how it was revealed to me in my meditation.

Welcome friends, I am your host visual artist Palehorse and I'm joined by my podcast partner, children's storybook author, publisher and public speaker Jason D'Rocha. in this episode we explore the fascinating ability that we all have as human beings to shuttle back and forth from the unmanifested, metaphysical realm of the Superconscious, and to bring back, like a healing elixir, creative manifestations into the physical realm. We as true artists, can bring more beauty into this world through our creations with our noble intentions. We explore the writings of Swami Kriyananda on this topic, as well as writings from Steven Pressfield, in his book ‘The Artist's Journey. We also visit the symbolism of the Bird Deity Garuda as the Messenger of the Divine who brings Superconscious inspiration into the human imagination like a bolt of lightning!

The heart of a devotee naturally overflows with the desire to help others. In fact, this yearning is one of the first signs of a refined consciousness. In a sense it is that impulse that brought this world into existence in the first place. God, the only thing that really exists, is ever-existing, ever-conscious, ever-new bliss. That bliss is ever expanding and, as Swami Kriyananda put it so simply and beautifully, “It is the nature of joy to want to share itself with others. So God created a multitude of seemingly separate souls so that He could share His bliss.”

Today marks my fifty-sixth anniversary of meeting Swami Kriyananda in 1967.

Drupada Macdonald began his spiritual search in 1981 at the age of 22, when he began studying the teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda. By the age of 23 he moved to Ananda Village in California, founded by Swami Kriyananda, based on Yogananda's teaching, and the practice of Kriya yoga. Also at this time he began his study of astrology. In 1989 he moved to the Ananda Assisi center in Italy, where he began to give astrology readings and classes. Since 1995, Drupada has been a full time astrologer, having given over 10,500 readings. His goal is to use the sacred stellar science as a guide for spiritual growth, and transformation. He now resides in Nevada City, California, and travels extensively to give classes and astrology readings. Drupada has made a deep study of both the philosophy and the calculations of Vedic astrology. He has studied the writings of prominent astrologers, with special emphasis on the writings and teachings of Sri Yukteswar, Paramhansa Yogananda, and Swami Kriyananda (author of Your Sun Sign as a Spiritual Guide). Drupada's approach to astrology centers on the potential he sees in each horoscope for personal growth and for overcoming the specific karmic patterns that are most actively present in this incarnation. He is an extraordinary Vedic astrologer, a deep soul and in this convo he connects  the fundamentals of Vedic astrology, the chakra system, and how we are all part of this divinely orchestrated Universe.   This is such a beautiful conversation that will spark your hearts especially if you have studied any type of astrology, esoteric wisdom, kriya yoga, or are just metaphysically curious.   Studies with Drupada brings clarity, hope, and insight on how best to realize one's highest potential.   CONNECT WITH JANET: http://www.janetnamaste.com JOIN THE SOUL STAR MEMBERSHIP: https://www.janetnamaste.com/soulstar IG - @janet.namaste + @rawrealtalks_ YouTube - www.youtube.com/janetnamaste Support the show: https://www.etsy.com/shop/TheNamasteLoveShoppe
