Join us for an evening satsang with Nayaswami Hriman, Spiritual Director of Ananda Washington, and Murali Venkatrao, director of the Ananda institute of Living Yoga in Bothell, Washington. Hriman and Murali will share insights from their decades of experience on the path, news from Ananda Washington, and updates from Murali’s recent travels to India and the projects he is working on there. 

Nayaswami Hriman is the co-spiritual director, with his wife Padma, of Ananda in Washington State. Hriman’s early studies in Catholic theology give him a profound respect for the shared truths of all religions, and the practical benefits of Raja Yoga. Audiences at his Sunday services and classes appreciate his gentle humor and practical insights for living, drawn from the ancient yoga teachings. Hriman is an ordained Lightbearer and Kriyacharya of Ananda Church of Self-Realization.

Insightful, wise, and deeply knowledgeable on Eastern philosophy, Murali educates and entertains. 

Director of yoga teacher programs at Ananda Institute of Living Yoga, and a Professor of Yogic Physiology at Vivekananda Yoga University, Murali is known far and wide for his vast and in-depth knowledge of Eastern scriptures along with his storytelling abilities. He is a master Storyteller! In person, Murali is down to earth, has a delightful sense of humor, and a joy-filled spirit that embraces everyone.
