As a young girl living in the Integral Yoga Ashram over twenty-nine years ago, meditating three times a day, eating vegetarian food and living among renunciates, Swami Satchidanada said to me, “Now you are under my wing.” I am continually blessed with the memory of his teachings and the times when he spoke specifically to me.

Dear Kamala,
I have seen the Living Yoga movie trailer. For me it brought back memories of a Living Saint. I began practicing Yoga at the Integral Yoga Institute in Hollywood, CA. either in 1969 or 70. I had asked friend who wrote a best seller book on Yoga to prepare a list of Yoga organizations for me to choose from, I picked Integral Yoga.
At that time I was a single mom with 2 very small children. On Sundays I would take my children to Family Day at the institute to be with like minded people. We shared a vegetarian meal, sang songs and melded in the surrounding thoughts of dear friends who I considered to be part of my family. We always had such a good time and it was a great way to complete the weekend and ready for the coming week.
I was fortunate to meet and know Swami Satchidananda and privileged to be absorbed in his wisdom. I saw him in action in many places, in different circumstances, with many people and knew that I was learning so much from him. My wish is for young people today to know of his work, gifts and to find that peace within themselves. I can hardly wait until the movie comes out. Happy New Year!
With Love and Peace, Nancy
Thank you Nancy for sharing your experience. What a wonderful blessing to have been in his presence.
With love,
Kamala
