Dear Devotees,

This message has two announcements.

1. Discourses by Swami Bodhananda on May 30 (Friday) evening and May 31 (Saturday)

The discourses will be on the Kaivalya Upanishad, "the study of which at the feet of an awakened Master will be an integrative healing experience" (to quote Swami Bodhananda).
