We are about spiritual renewal, healing and self-realization through the study of meditation, yoga and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda. Blessings on you and welcome to our website. This will be a work in progress as we are just learning to use this wonderful tool. We hope to share the vision and teachings that have helped us. From Paramahansa Yogananda The great Guru from India, to our friend Rev.Dennis Shields (The religion of jesus church) in Hawaii. We are located in the beautiful Pacific Northwest, just outside of Seattle. Rev. Lee and myself (Lori) hope that we can help as many as we can along the way. |

 Paramahansa Yogananda"The Sustainer of this universe is knocking at the gates of your heart, trying to enter through the portals of silence and make within you a garden of happiness" |
God First"Before the baby sky was born as the blue, out of the dark breast of Eternity, who existed? The Lord God. With an omnipresent brush it was He who spread blue all over the celestial ceiling. Who was it that peopled the hall of space with the family of planets? God Himself. Naught could breathe without His first breath. That is why God is always first. He first asked my father and mother and friends to love me; so I love God first. I breathe after He breathed through me; I throb after He flowed life into me; I think after He gave me the power of thought; I reason because He bestowed reason upon me; I will because He taught me how to use my will freely. So the portals of my heart are open to the Lord first. All my duties I can perform only after borrowing the powers of action from Him; so my blessed duty is to love God first. The first thought of the morning, the first love of my heart, the first ambition of my soul, the first desire of all my desires, the first attraction of my feeling, the foremost effort of my reason and will is: God first."
-Paramahansa Yogananda
