It is so inspiring. And we can see what is faith in God.
Such an inspirational adventure.
Thanks Parvati ji, for sharing the experiences you've gathered over the years of this work called Ananda. Enjoying the book very much.
I am so enjoying Parvati’s account of her years at Ananda. It feels like a journey I’m personally experiencing as I read the story that is Ananda. Reviewing events I’ve always heard and experiencing Swami’s leadership and direction, guidance and devotion to seeing Master’s vision move forward has been deeply inspiring. Thank you Parvati
I instantly felt completely engaged in Parvati’s life story. She took me into her world and I felt excited to be there with Swami! Loved this very inspiring book!
