RESIDENTIAL COURSE: Live the Gospels
Jesus' words have resonated in human hearts through the centuries, accompanying saints on their road to holiness, giving consolation to the afflicted and wonderful inspiration to artists. Their interpretation was traditionally left to the clergy, who froze their meaning in dogmas that, in times past, constituted landmarks in a world marked by chaos. Paramhansa Yogananda freed them from their religious imprisonment and revived them in all their spiritual and practical power. Let us listen to His Voice!

The words of a Master who has realized God as his own Self have the power to create a new energy, capable of expanding our consciousness and changing the course of events in our lives. Those of Jesus are like a jewel-filled casket, which has been paresent in our home for centuries, but has always remained closed.
In this course we will open that casket, and follow Paramhansa Yogananda as he shows us the jewels within, in all their spiritual and practical beauty.
Short, concise sentences and instructive stories create a space of awareness in our hearts in which we can welcome the challenges of daily life from a high, panoramic perspective that shows us solutions and ways out.
In the midst of a life filled with family cares, professional frenzies, worrisome news, and existential anxieties, a spiritual center is built that revives in us qualities such as peace, strength, and, yes even that, the joy of living...
Highlights:
- The Sermon on the Mount, a vademecum for a fulfilled life
- Jesus' parables, a mine of wisdom
- The Lord's Prayer, a guide to the power of prayer
... and much more!

Affermazioni per l'autoguarigione di Swami Kriyananda
Guarire con la Volontà Divina di Paramhansa Yogananda
Come essere sani e vitali di Paramhansa Yogananda
«Mi sento letteralmente trasformata! Non è il fuoco di paglia del giochino nuovo che uno prova per due giorni e poi butta nell'angolo. Mi rendo conto che sono piccoli miglioramenti che si muovono per stati di equilibrio e che mi inondano su moltissimi piani. Mi sento in guarigione su tante cose insieme, è come se un balsamo curativo stesse viaggiando in ogni cellula del mio essere». – Maria Vaghi, Milano
«Questo corso ha rappresentato per me un percorso intenso ed efficace, sia per la mia vita personale che per la mia professione di Psicoterapeuta. Ho individuato diversi solchi molto radicati in me che mi portavano ad attuare dei meccanismi di pensiero automatici autosabotanti nei confronti di me stessa e delle mie relazioni interpersonali. Dal punto di vista professionale, mi ha fornito nuovi ed efficaci strumenti e mi ha dato la possibilità di poter vedere il problema portato dalla persona da una prospettiva diversa, che prende in considerazione l'esigenza di crescita spirituale insita in ogni essere umano. Mi sono portata via tante cose importanti: la gioia e la condivisione con l'insegnante e con il gruppo ed una nuova e più profonda consapevolezza dell'importanza d'incentrare la vita e la guarigione dell'individuo su quella che io chiamo "la terza via", vale a dire la via della crescita spirituale». –Loredana Angeloni, Roma
«Ho trovato il corso molto completo sia per l'approfondimento degli aspetti teorici che per le pratiche esperienziali guidate dalla mano esperta di Sahaja; la complessità nella comprensione degli argomenti è stata risolta dalla grande disinvoltura dell'insegnante che, con grande leggerezza, mi ha condotto piano piano nella difficile consapevolezza legata all'argomento, lasciandomi la sensazione di aver imparato qualcosa di veramente utile per la vita di tutti giorni». –Fabio Bucher, Verona
