Kirtan in L.A.

2010-05-10T20:00:00.009+02:00

Here we are....driving through the Hollywood Hills to find our way to Yogananda's Abode.
& some friends ahead of us. We actually had no exact address of Lake Shrine...i remember
it to be on Sunset Blvd. near the ocean, so we're following our heart. And i still recall the
instant feeling of supreme peace that hit me as we were still on the road, about 2min. away form his center....

On the way Shambo's enjoying the view over L.A. :)

Paramahansa Yogananda's robe & myself enjoying the divine vibes in his meditation gardens..

His desk.....& his garden...
He knew how to communicate with the divine..& composed some heart-opening Bhajans..all in the book 'cosmic chants'
After our visit at Lake Shrine we put it all into practise and enjoyed a blissful evening of Kirtan at the BhaktiYogaShala with Govindas & Haribol Baba...
