Like Royalty: A Story of Swami Kriyananda

In honor of Swami Kriyananda's birthday on May 19, we are sharing a beautiful story about him and his family written by a family friend.

When I met Don [Swamiji] we were both about fifteen years old. Our fathers worked together and the families became friends. I have always been very religious. As a child I thought of myself as “Beloved by God.” Even then, Don had a strong spiritual presence and his mother, Gertrude, was like a saint. I felt immediately drawn to both of them.

Walking Meditation with Divine Mother

To practice interiorization of the mind during normal waking consciousness, try this walking meditation. Throughout this practice, make it a point to relate to God, to God through Nature, and to your own higher Self.  Walk alone, if possible, during this exercise, for its purpose is to interiorize the mind, not to externalize it in the company of others.
