Sacred gatherings at Sambodh this week

Earlier in the week, we welcomed Ram and Kamala for a few days filled with fun, free-flowing conversations, cooking sessions, shared meals, laughter, and the sweet story of how losing Swamiji’s book on a flight many years ago unexpectedly led Ram to its author.

Today, Kirti and Suresh visited the Ashram for Sraddha Puja, offering prayers in honor of their parents. Suresh spoke of the feeling of Kedarnath, and the cold, serene surroundings echoed that same sacred presence.

Grateful for every heart that finds its way to Sambodh.

Thank you to everyone who came to welcome Pujya Swamiji back to Kalamazoo last night. Your presence made the evening feel full, warm, and deeply blessed! 🙏🏻

A brief recap of Pujya Swamiji’s words of wisdom below captured by Tori 🙏🏻

Swami Bodhananda ~ three principles of all scriptures and philosophies of the world
(highlights)

✨ detached engagement
live in hope and trust.
be ready for any outcome.
keep the flame of hope 🔥
there is no certainty… only opportunity
✨ express your happiness
expectations create frustration.
scripture says our true nature is happiness.
no one can give you this, you are responsible for your own.

real happiness is within you wherever you are.

not just known, but expressed in interactive spaces ~ be a light wherever you go 💗

✨ don’t react, but respond
find your words and speak with humility. i am ready to listen
protect your dignity and integrity
… then you come to abide in yourself. anchored and established

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
intergenerational relationships
✨ start with yes and ✨listen. ✨ allow them to explore their thoughts fully. be patient.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
embodiment… how do we interact between religions?
✨ not conversion, but conversation
celebration of experiences ~sharing ideas
✨ coexistence not colonization
✨ conservation not consumption
