We live in a time marked by division, fear, and conflict—both inner and outer. Yet every great transformation always originates from a shifting consciousness.

Bankhandi Maharaj, a Himalayan yogi
From October 30th, Bankhandi Maharaj will be with us at Ananda Assisi. A devotee of the Divine Mother as Durga, he lives in the Himalayas, where he has met great saints, including Babaji.

All Saints for Peace - Two Days to Create a New Consciousness of Peace Together
We live in a time of division and conflict, yet every true transformation begins with a shift in consciousness. Paramhansa Yogananda taught that peace is the first experience of meditation—the foundation upon which we welcome God as joy, love, and power. It is not merely the absence of conflict, but the divine peace that blossoms when we live from our infinite nature.
