Chanting is Half the Battle! Drop-in Chanting and Meditation

  • Ananda Community 240 Monroe Dr Mountain View United States (map)

Sunday evenings at the Ananda Community Temple

Paramhansa Yogananda introduced a new kind of chanting in the West, based on the repetition of meaningful phrases rather than the repetition of various names of God as is traditional in India. Its purpose is to focus the heart’s feelings and raise them toward superconsciousness.

The highest purpose of chanting is to help awaken us to our own spiritual potential: to bring us closer to Self-realization.

Join for this evening sadhana centered around chanting and meditation. We will share one chant for 30 minutes, then dive deep into a 30 minute meditation. We will end at 8:00 pm with healing prayers.

Led by Lakshmi
