From the Editors
We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude for our spiritual teacher, Swami Chetanananda. In his company, we are continuously reminded of the beauty that lies within each person and is the source of life. His presence in our lives is the most extraordinary gift.
Swamiji is completely devoted to his teachers and to spiritual growth-his own growth, that of his students, and that of everyone with whom he interacts. A remarkable quality of this devotion is his openness to and appreciation for all of life, while remaining deeply attuned to the source from which that diversity arises. His life is a constant demonstration of what it means to be a great student and a great teacher.
This newsletter opens with a beautiful exposition by Swamiji of the spiritual practice he lives and teaches. In the articles that follow, you can read about some of the specific programs and people that make up the Institute community, including Swamiji's work with Professor Sanderson on the Para puja; a concert by Ustad Ali Akbar Khan at our July retreat; the Institute's hatha yoga program; and our study of the Tibetan Buddhist practice of Chöd with Wangdu Lama Rinpoche.
Nityananda Institute and everything about it-the breadth and depth of spiritual practice available, the diversity and richness of the people who participate-are the result of years of devoted work by Swamiji. For this, and his endlessly inspiring companionship, we are deeply grateful.
