Event Description

Hope for a Better World Weekend Celeberation - July 21-23, 2017


Like Buddha, Gandhi and the Dalai Lama, Paramhansa Yogananda taught universal spiritual truths. As emissaries of Yogananda, Jyotish & Devi bring his teachings into focus for today.


This weekend celebration, featuring Nayaswamis Jyotish and Devi – worldwide emissaries of the message and teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda, shines a light on the global movement that is changing and uplifting the world.


In these times of uncertainty, Nayaswamis Jyotish & Devi shine light on the real solution: raising our consciousness. With wisdom and delightful humor, they show us how to experience joy daily, without succumbing to the stresses caused by our modern lives.

Portland, Oregon is the last stop on their 2017 West Coast tour, giving engaging talks and festivals in San Francisco Bay Area, Los Angeles, Seattle and also online. 


This weekend provides the opportunity to relax and celebrate the growing light of divine friendship, goodness and wholeness that is uniting the world even in the midst of the chaos and troubles of our times. Let us navigate these times – not only to survive, but to thrive and build a new world of harmony, goodness and joy.
