Facing the Challenges of the Future
An oft-quoted saying of Yogananda declares: “There are no obstacles, only opportunities!” In today’s world “opportunities” abound. We are challenged as individuals and as citizens of a world that appears to be rapidly moving towards greater instability and disharmony on all fronts.
These are precisely the times, the Masters say, when great spiritual progress is possible. A phrase from one of Swami Kriyananda’s songs offers us practical advice: “In a tempest seize the lightning flash, and ride the winds of change.”
The energy behind the current tempests is trying to move us in new directions, towards different values and ways of living. At Ananda we have been moving in these directions and preparing the way for many years, since the community was started.
You will find amongst the programs at Ananda many courses that will help you not only weather the challenges, but become inwardly victorious and practically prepared. Let Ananda be your haven and your training ground, so that you can develop your inner strength and be ready to help others.

18-20 June 2010 - Weekend with Swami Kriyananda
11-16 July 2010
13-15 August 2010
10-12 September 2010
As life becomes more complicated and less stable, we begin to reflect on what our real needs are and how we can simplify our lives. Rather than being fearful of the changes and situations the future might bring, we can develop inner strength and use our divine intelligence to prepare ourselves on psychological, spiritual and physical levels.
This workshop offers practical advice, the fruit of 40 years of living in cooperative communities.
In this course we will look at:
- Yogananda’s prophecies and visions for the future
- How we can simplify and streamline our lives and our desires
- Developing cooperative situations for living, eating and working
- How to develop the inner strength to deal with changes and challenges
- The importance of Cities of Light for the future of the world
- Learning which foods are high-energy, high-nutrition, and low cost
- Alternative energy technologies which are currently being used in urban and rural areas
