Laughing With Swamiji: A Book Launch with Lila Devi—Book Signing to Follow

August 23 @ 12:30 pm 1:30 pm

Laughing with swamiji (1)Join longtime Ananda member—and former Ananda Sacramento Community resident—Lila Devi in celebrating the launch of her newest book, Laughing with Swamiji.

This book is a compelling collection of stories about the author’s direct experiences with Swami Kriyananda. In over 50 stories, 38 “shorts,” and 23 unedited letters from Swamiji himself, it shows, rather than tells us, who he was—and how he guided one seeker through both individual and universal lessons that can be illustrious to us all. A can’t-put-down read!

Get ready for some fun surprises – and don’t miss the one at the very end!

“Life is joy!” Swami Kriyananda tells us. In that spirit of lightness and laughter, please join us for this book launch. 

The event will end with a book-signing.

For those of you wanting a flower essence consultation after the launch – for ½ hour or 1 hour – please see Lila at the booksigning to schedule. $80 for 1/2 hour, $150 for 1 hour.

“Thank you for your inspirational book, *Laughing with Swamiji*, with powerful and appropriate quotes from Swami and many others. It makes enjoyable reading, also giving insight to Swamiji’s many-splendored personality. As Charlie Chaplin says, ‘A day without laughter is a day wasted.’ The numerous anecdotes you have shared will be a great contribution to understand more of our beloved Swami Kriyananda.” — D. R. Kaarthikeyan, Director Emeritus of Central Bureau of Investigation, India

“This book offers unique insights into the life of an extraordinary spiritual teacher, by one who had a close friendship with Swami Kriyananda, worked with him, and learned from him for many decades. As a loving gift, this book is for all who aspire for attunement with the path of Self- Realization.” — Asha Nayaswami, author of Swami Kriyananda: Lightbearer
