Description

“Each person is a pilgrim in this world … 
His is a sacred destination, always vaguely suspected , 
but almost never consciously perceived. 
Whether they do it by their own choice or by blind instinct, 
directly or indirectly, all men are actually seeking happiness, 
an infinite, eternal, divine happiness.”

– Swami Kriyananda The New Path

The spiritual quest in the modern age is no longer limited to those who wish to embrace the traditional monastic life. Millions of people around the world, in every life situation, are feeling the call to dedicate themselves to the search for God.

Swami Kriyananda, inwardly guided by his Master, Parahamsa Yogananda on Nov. 20, 2009 founded the a new monastic order called the Order of Renunciates for the New Age, which is for all those who feel they want to follow the inner path of renunciation, understood not as the deprivation of anything, but as embracing those behaviors that lead to true freedom, the bliss of the soul.

This order is open to all who feel such an inner call, whether single, married, divorced or widowed, parents or grandparents, disciples of Yogananda or not.

During this weekend, we will explore the concept of inner renunciation, receive helpful guidance and practices for moving beyond selfish desires and attachments and experience an expansion of our consciousness.

The weekend will include special renunciate meditations, deepening and inspirational classes. In addition, an ONLINE initiation ceremony will provide an opportunity for those who are already members to renew their vows or commit on a deeper level.

Those who intend to participate are strongly advised, if they have not already done so, to read the book A Renunciate Order for the New Age, by Swami Kriyananda.
