A New Age Has Begun. This Is the Story of Those Who Came to Guide It.

In July 1969, a twenty-one-year-old college graduate stepped out of a stranger's car in front of a run-down farmhouse in the foothills of Northern California. She had crossed two thousand miles alone, drawn by something she could not yet name. A man with long hair walked toward her, and from him came a wave of energy unlike anything she had felt before. "Something important is going to happen here," a voice within her said.

The man was Swami Kriyananda, a direct disciple of Paramhansa Yogananda. The day was the founding of Ananda Spiritual Community. And the young woman—Nayaswami Devi—would spend the next forty-four years at his side, helping carry forward a mission that began long before either of them was born.

Divine Awakening is her account of that mission: the great unfolding of consciousness
Yogananda was sent to inaugurate, the new way of life Kriyananda built to embody it, and the work that now passes to those of us living at the dawn of this new age. It is a book of vision, of witness, and of invitation.

"This isn't my work. It isn't your work. It is the work of Babaji and Master. They will carry it forward." — Swami Kriyananda

This book was born in a moment of inspiration.
The Heart of Service is an exploration of the spiritual aspects of service—especially of its power to transform our consciousness.

When we serve selflessly, we unlock hidden treasures of joy, expansion, and divine connection. The difference between mere work and true service lies primarily in attitude—specifically, how selfless or how self-involved we are.

Even a little training in the right attitudes and practices can elevate our service and make it an extremely effective spiritual path.

A life grounded in meditation and service leads to success on all levels. Most importantly, it leads to profound happiness and fulfillment.

Yogananda taught that life has one ultimate purpose: for each one of us to expand our
consciousness until we achieve Self-realization, the direct experience of our oneness with God. To reach this lofty goal, we must balance meditation and service, each supporting the other.

Yogananda emphasized that any genuine path to liberation must include both meditation and service. He wrote, “Unselfishness takes everybody, including one’s own self, into the circle of brotherhood. It brings many harvests—return service from others, self-expansion, divine sympathy, lasting happiness, and Self-Realization.”

Thus, though on the surface this is a book about service, seen more deeply, it is about the journey to Self-realization.

Jyotish and I are currently visiting the Ananda community in the hills above Assisi, Italy. A few days ago, we had a beautiful launch for the Italian translations of our new books, *Divine Awakening: The Mission of Paramhansa Yogananda and His Disciple, Swami Kriyananda* and *The Heart of Service.* This week we’ve begun the Centennial Celebration for Swamiji, with a large number of guests attending from all over Europe.

Feeling the divine joy radiating powerfully from here, I was reminded of a story from our visit to Ananda Assisi thirty years ago for the dedication of their new Temple of Light. (With its domed blue-tiled roof, it is the prototype of our temples at Ananda Village and Ananda Seattle.)

For the dedication, they had invited a number of local dignitaries and religious leaders to speak. One was a priest who had helped organize the Assisi Underground, which hid Jews in monasteries under Italy’s Fascist regime during World War II. Adults and children were given new identification papers and eventually helped to escape to safe countries. Hundreds of people were saved through the efforts of this priest.

When he spoke at the dedication, he shared a remarkable story. During the dark days of the war, this priest would often see lights shining at night in the hills above Assisi. At first he thought the lights were coming from structures, but then realized that no buildings existed there. One evening as he gazed up at the radiance, he was struck by the thought, “These are the lights of spiritual souls who will live there one day.”

He concluded his story by saying, “All of you are the souls whose light I saw many years ago.” God’s ways are not easily seen with our limited human sight, but His power exists nonetheless, beyond our perception of time and space...
