TRIUMPH OF SPIRIT IN LOVE, NATURE & ART

Hinduism

Star Blossoms


“When you find that your soul, your heart, every wisp of inspiration, every speck of the vast blue sky and its shining star blossoms, the mountains, the earth, the whipporwill and the bluebells are all tied together with one cord of rhythm, one cord of joy, one cord of unity, one cord of spirit, then you shall know that all are but waves in His cosmic sea.”

Paramahansa Yogananda in “Metaphysical Meditations,” p. 36

Oceanic Currents


Paramahansa Yogananda

“As soon as you lift your consciousness to the state of divine awareness, you see the oceanic current of God’s light flowing behind all matter.”

Stream in our backyard in Millbrook, New York that eventually flows into the Hudson River which in turn flows into the Atlantic Ocean, thereby hinting at global consciousness.


“Happiness lies in giving yourself time to think and to introspect. Be alone once in awhile, and remain more in silence.”
