Swami Radakrisnananda asked me if I would go to the Ashram.
It was not just a question.
It was more of an invitation and a strong suggestion, just short of a directive.
I had been in classes at the Yoga center for two years and it was time. She felt it was time to fully immerse myself inthe study and practice of yogic living.
I love Swami Radhakrishnananda. Bless her soul. She passed over in 2012.
I told her I could not do that.
Did I want to?
Yes, very much, yes.

She herself had left her family and immersed herself into her study and teachings of Radha. She fully understood what was being asked of me.
The Yasodhara Ashram located north of Nelson B.C. is a beautiful place. located right on Kootenay bay. It was founded by a great visionary, Swami Radha, in 1962. It’s a wonderful story and worth the research or a visit. Their teachings are based in Sivananda tradition while blending western and eastern thoughts. The path is realized through Hatha yoga and Kundalini yoga with a discipline of other exercises. It also has a nod towards the Divine Feminine as Swami Radha was a woman. Rare for a Swami or a homesteader in that time period....+@
