--------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- -------------------- ---------------
Asha Nayaswami was a spiritual seeker since her early youth. While studying at Stanford University in 1969, she heard Swami Kriyananda speak for the first time. “I knew the moment he walked into the room that he possessed the consciousness I had long been seeking.”
She soon became a founding member of the new community Swami was starting near Nevada City, California, called Ananda Village, based on Yogananda’s dream of world brotherhood colonies for “simple living and high thinking.”
Swami Kriyananda placed Asha in the role of teaching and counseling soon after her arrival. She also served as Swami's correspondence secretary and personal assistant for many years.
She has served as one of the spiritual directors of Ananda Palo Alto since 1987, guiding the development of Ananda’s work in the San Francisco Bay Area, including helping to launch Living Wisdom Schools and Ananda Farm, and supporting a large staff and volunteer team involved in East West Bookshop, Ananda Community, Ananda centers and meditation groups in the Bay Area, Ananda music, and a vital, lively theater arts program.
Asha is a Nayaswami. In 2009, she took vows in the renunciate order that Swami Kriyananda founded. (“Naya” means “new” in Sanskrit). You will often recognize a nayaswami by the rich blue color they wear. “Blue suggests calmness, kindness, and an expansive consciousness,” writes Swami in A Renunciate Order for the New Age. This new renunciate order is very much like the ancient swami order in spirit, but is a new expression for an age of higher awareness. Its emphasis is on positive renunciation-a joyful expansion to Infinity. The vows of the new renunciate order.
Asha’s most recent book is Swami Kriyananda: Lightbearer, published in 2019. She is also author of Ask Asha: Heartfelt Answers to Everyday Dilemmas on the Spiritual Path; Loved and Protected: Stories of Miracles and Answered Prayers; and Swami Kriyananda As We Have Known Him, a collection of more than 200 stories by people who have been touched by his teachings and spiritual friendship.

Enjoying this video so far! Thanks for the content.
On another note: Please have Joseph Tittel (aka Spiritman JT) on your podcast! I’m going to keep annoying you until it happens! He said earlier this year that one of his main goals this year is to go on your podcast-he is a HUGE fan of the show. He has predicted almost every major event over the past 15+ years. He’s a medium, channeler and a psychic. Please make it happen Alex!
Why isn't any other "Master" hated like Jesus ?
@@wingedinfinity6715 Perhaps due to the low consciousness of Earth at that time that Asha had stated was the case.
Hey Alex, I'd love to hear Darius J Wright elaborate as to why he does not believe Karma exists. You have the hook up with him as a contact. Perhaps you could ask him why he thinks this.
I'm so grateful that I found your channel. I watch and listen with an open mind and open heart and it's provided so much insight and knowledge that is hard to find all in one place. Thank you Alex, I appreciate what you're doing so much and I appreciate you! ❤️
I love this. I was in Christianity for 27 years. I became a minister and leader in my church, but it never felt right. I was the most depressed and depleted serving in the religion. Then, in 2020, I had my awakening. I had to leave. I couldn’t be part of something so judgemental and divisive. I always questioned things in the church that didn’t make sense, and it wasn’t received in a good way. I was told to have faith and don’t question God. I’m so glad to be on the other side once you awaken there is no turning back you just don’t see things the same way. ❤I love this show and every single person on here this show helped me understand my spiritual walk and that I wasn’t crazy ❤😂
❤
❤
❤
❤❤❤
Well Said, thank you from the Gutsy GURU
Have you ever noticed that people who have found the true Creator, God, Love have the best smiles in the world.
its simple BLISS
I knew she was self realized the first 5 seconds I saw her. It's in the eyes. 😊
Her love and giddiness for intelligence made me feel so happy.
Same here! Such peace! 🕊️ 🦋
She looks so beautiful for an eighty year old lady. 💖
“The Roman Empire did not fall, it became the church” 🤯🤯 - whoa Alex, that’s revelation!! Goosebumps!
Agree!
... and it is the European and USA Paradigm.
I loved it when she said “Nobody talks about the meaning of life, they just teach you how to get through it” 😮 Wow it’s hard to believe that we’ve been so blind! Her words “really terrible” about the years to come are concerning.
"Nobody was really talking to me about the actual meaning of life, they were just talking about how to get through it in a way that would look like success."
If that was a conversation that every parent was able to have with their children, imagine how radically different our world would be! ❤
Let’s keep it in our vision of the future! 🩵
My younger sister (she is 76 now)and her husband are and have been followers of Yogananda since the 1960’s. She lived and did TM in Fairfield, Iowa. Her husband teaches Transcendental Meditation. They continue to follow his teachings & TM. I ( am 79 now)took a different path but have ended up a Shaman, Healer, Clairvoyant … to me both are in the same vein of self-realization. We all should honor one another’s path. I honor your and their paths🙏🏼💙🥰🧘🏻🪷
Amazing how we find ourselves and often can observe parts of the Soul's Plan, (the Template) for our Journey
Best Thoughts ...
Beautiful 😊 ty!
❤❤❤
TM is Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. That’s a different teacher.
Alex, poderia leva-lo para entrevistar. 🎉❤
She radiates love and you can feel it ❤️
Yes I actually got chills when she started speaking..
Although it is chilly in here. Lol
This was one of the very best guests I have had the pleasure of listening to. Thank you for this show. It would be wonderful to invite her again. Bless you both
Thank you Asha for your presence ❤here.
I totally agree. I’ve listen to lots of these programs and this is by far my favorite. I could listen to her for hours.
@@judykaplan3580 Me too!
How exciting to see Asha on your show. My husband and I lived right near the Palo Alto community and he was a part of Ananda since he was 27. She’s a great soul. Thanks for having her on your show. Big blessings.
So cool!
@@NextLevelSoulAlex you always ask what can the guest give answer to what the future holds. You are never hearing anything beyond what you/everybody (who is seeking for an answer) already knows and expects. There is ONE KEY holder you OBVIOUSLY have no idea about ( or maybe you do and deliberately ignore HIM)
@@chrispf9648 You really think Alex could get Jesus on his show? 🤣
Hey Susan! Jivani here, Just saw Tom here in the Village
Love Asha🧡✨true teacher for all seasons 🌱
' Now is the time to anchor yourself in an inner reality, and then the world can do whatever it wants.' Also you will be sble to help other people.
Alex, I am BLOWN AWAY.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, for your channel and your guests.
This beautiful guest has changed me for life, and I have been so lost ❤
You have it exactly right we need to just follow through.
Alex, Don't feel guilty about being a recovering Catholic I am also as well as many others. I don't care what anyone says we all have free will to follow who ever we wish.
I was thinking about what she said at the end there, that people seem to want to do it themselves instead of with an expert or teacher or guru. But for one thing, there just isn't enough gurus for how many people are waking up right now. And on top of that, who can afford it? Few can. Very few. Even if the guru doesnt charge, they have to have to afford to get to them in the first place. I think that's what channels like this are for. Because I'm in poverty. I'm a stay at home mom. But I'm "waking up", alone, by myself in my apartment every day, because people like Alex and Asha who are teaching me (even though they dont know me).
Alex, Once again without fail another beautiful soul in Nayaswami Asha she lifted my spirits today as most of your guests. Brynne Dippell said you will reach millions and she is definitely right I can feel it!
I agree!
Agreed
Being in the "lunatic fringe" and being a vegetarian for 47 years is me. Enjoyed the conversation.
Hey Alex I may say your show is full of extremely interesting, thought provocative people, that is why your show has become one of my favourites on the Net. Keep them coming!!!!
Thank you for this beautiful soul’s presence on your show! I am her generation and I am so happy to see the huge value in her perspective. Younger people today often don’t realize those of us who started all this ( in mainstream America) have so much wisdom because of our wider perspective! ❤❤❤
Whe Asha says 'there's so much light'...'catching the wave'....wow...I'm not exactly sure why but that made tears come to my eyes with happiness, love...excitement. For now and for the many more nows to be. I love this lady and I know nothing about her. Her light, her love for life and her intellect with humor wound through it...mannn...I love it. thank you for having her on your channel Alex. Thank YOU as well for being you. :)
It made cry too. I felt held by the wave of light. It was so peaceful and made me feel so safe and loved 💖
That book from Yogananda woke me up and I experienced light coming out of the body, so all these „miracles“ there are facts to me
Are you talking about the autobiography of a yogi ???
This interview was truly "NEXT LEVEL" loved it, great guest great interview.
How beautiful this beloved Lady is! How wonderful eyes... ful of light and wisdom! Thank you so much Alex, for this marvelous time spent with you and Nayaswami Asha!
Her energy comes through as pure love❤
4 minutes in and i love this lady x
After just a few minutes of watching I realised that this lady is a beautiful soul. Thank You both
This has to be one of my favourite interviews on this channel! I love the energy of this conversation ❤
We need to say that now we hear we don’t have to go down those roads. We can choose. We can create a better ending. Fear is not the way to see anything.
I loved listening to this! I grew up with a strict religion but never felt spiritual. I am going thru my own spiritual journey now. Im understanding it & my reason why im here. Im loving it!❤
Wow this lady is glowing 😮
One didn't feel this loving lady was selling hopium or positivity, but that's what I got out of it. And more. Great episode. Thanks and much Love from Sweden.
I also love this lady ..... thanks so much for having her on your show Alex! Such joy, grace and sensitivity .... a blessing to have on this planet Earth 🙏💓
Thank you so much for having her on your show!!! Watching into her eyes was to see pure love all the time!!! I will never forget her.
Asha radiates pure love and wisdom. Thank you for having her on your show.❤️
Beautiful. Probably the calmest I have felt out of all the great guests who have been on. All makes so much sense. Namaste 🙏🙏🙏💜
I love Asha!! It is my dream to meet her. I feel like she and I knew each other in a past life 😂. In THIS life, I found her videos at a time when my life was not going the way I would have liked and her words of wisdom gave me so much comfort. She is truly a blessing from the Divine. I encourage everyone to follow her no matter what your religious beliefs may be.
That’s a really good testimonial!
Very beautiful conversation. Very special too. Thank you both. 💖
So grateful for hearing this conversation! You two are beautiful souls.
Excellent segment. I too came from a Christian background, I loved "my Jesus", but there seemed too many "holes" in His story. When I learned about Jesus' travels into India and possibly parts of the East, I was hooked! Even the story of the "Three Wise Men" made more sense that they were from India, and it does sound very plausible. Once again, great segment. Continued blessings and success!
Like the "hole" in Asha's view on Christians community after Jesus?
What about 12 Apostles who were passing on the teachings?
How about Christians going into arena singing before being killed by lions?
Were they hiding in the caves as Asha stated, or she is not aware of the above?
I just adore this guest. I hope she makes an encore ❤
What a wonderful interview! She’s such a beautiful soul. 🤍
I love this beautiful soul…her story touches me deeply! TYTYTY 🙏🙏🙏
Asha Girl! My dear old friend of almost 30 years!
I totally resonated with what she had to say. Thank you for bringing her on, Alex! 💕✨
We have an amazing opportunity to be our own guru. We are always searching for something outside of ourselves but everything is within us. Personally I feel “I AM” that’s it. I’m not a religion. I’m not spiritual. I am everything. We tend to break out of one box and put ourselves in another box. It’s so amazing to gain insights from others without limiting ourselves to one thing xx Have fun everyone. You are incredible!! Xx ✨⭐️🙌🏻
Mmmhhmmm 🤍 NoThing/everyThing...mmmhhmmm... infinite/timeless 🤍🤍🤍
I picked up Yogananda's book and read it through the first time. I loved it!! And I was brought up Catholic, so what. I guess I was ready for it. There are many things that are happening and live on this earth that will blow your mind.
This guest is so down to earth and relatable. The world changed today through awareness. Thank you.
My heart is singing and understanding the world in a bit more expanded way. I don't like negativity and strife but I am putting o on my waders and leaning in. ❤❤❤
One of Father Richard Rohr’s teachings is when the Christian church divided, it divided the teachings and each hold a core.
Wonderful conversation Alex, please more of Asha, so beautiful her energy.❤❤
I love how knowledgeable Alex is & can keep a conversation going on laymen’s terms, staying on point while educating everyone with such great questions. Totally right place, right time❣️
One of your more transformative talks.
I have watched many episodes; this one resonated with me on a deeper level. Thank you for the amazing work you do Alex 🙏.
Hey hi hello beautiful people! What a wonderful woman ! Her love and light is radiant! She came through and touched my heart and eased my mind! Thank you so much! Big love and hugs to everyone!
I have so much gratitude and love for Asha. Her teachings and work were pivotal in the profound revealing of self actualization and spiritual life door opening. I hope to hear her lecture in person sooner than later
💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚💙💚
I'm so glad to hear her say things that in my heart was hoping to be true. Thank you so much for having her on. And now I MUST read Autobiography of a Yogi.
Great conversation. Alex and Asha! I just love Asha’s clarity about everything that she speaks on. I’ve attended some of her classes many years ago at her church in Palo Alto. Since those days a lot has happened in the world, and I’m curious now about her take on especially AI and its sudden appearance in a big way and rapid development. I’ll have to research her published material.
Love Autobiography of a Yogi. Was pulled into the story and that ignited a spark ✨️
I totally love this episode. Asha is great. She Has a calm understanding of the spirit. Thank you Alex.
I loved this conversation, what a total delight Asha is. Thank you for bringing her into my awareness Alex 💝 💫
As a channel myself I wish there were podcasts that were for undiscovered channels who were just about the work and not fame because I have much to share but no want for glory
So Beautiful! I will revisit parts, to remember
Thank you once again, for nourishing the soul 🙏🏽
A little side note behind the “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” song. Bobbie McFerrin was close friends with Tuck And Patti, who being Meher Baba devotees, at the time, inspired Bobby with the refrain. The full Meher Baba quote was “Do your best, then, don’t worry, be happy”
Loved Tuck and Patti. Thanks for sharing!
Two of my favourite people together, Love It 🤩
I love this beautiful soul, totally attuned with her Energy ❤🙏. Thank you,again Alex ❤
Autobiography of a Yogi is the breakthrough book of the moment
Just bought it!
Every leader and indigenous elder I’ve been blessed to meet over past 25 years spoke about how terrible things will get. 🕯️🙏🏼
This was a great presentation - one of the best! Thank you
Love and gratitude for another amazing guest, amazing soul and teaching. THANK YOU BOTH.
Excellent excellent Alex
Beautiful Lady❤ Inside and out. Wise and full of love❤
Alex, this has been one of the most wonderful episodes you have had in your program, Asha is so AMAZING!!
Thanks to you both for what you do.
God Bless you always.
This path of the willing spirit is truly awe inspiring. Seven years ago I took one stumbling step back toward myself and was taken in like the prodigal son by whatever makes all things possible.
Nearer my love to me...thank you fellow willing ❤
Love your channel. Appreciate the conversations and this plateform 🎉 Thank you for all your hard work Alex and putting out wonderful content ❤
Alex, yes I am a "recovering Catholic", but studied for the Catholic priesthood from age 14 to 18...later married, joined SRF in 1985....still on this same path. But also trying to organize or join an Eco- Community...there's a topic for you to explore.
@joewythe642, caught my attention your comment and most of all about the Eco-community. I am in Canada and interested in this way of sharing and living. Wish you the best and full fruition to your dreams. Much love ❤❤❤
Thanks to both of you 🙏🏻❤️ (Sweden)
Thank you for this great conversation. Wonderful to meet Asha Nsyaswami, understand where she is speaking from. Was just in India, Jesus is hanging up in most places beside other Ascended Beings as an avatar.
I have watched many MANY of your videos in the last two months -thank you for doing what you are doing Alex! This interview was blissful 😊 I decided to subscribe to your channel because I'm happy for you to introduce me to many of your future guests 🙏🏻
Wau this was so so beautyful! Asha's words made my hert sing! Thank you so very much!
Thank you for your amazing work. Your podcast is my school room.😍
Thank you for this wonderful conversation. Yoganandawas responsible for launching me on the path decades ago. 🙏
Infinite possibilities within the same space/reality..
Grasp that ☝🏽🙏🏽❤️
Delightful lady. Thank you for the interview. I will be looking further for information regarding her.
One of my favorite episodes. Infinite love and gratitude. So many wonderful people are at various stages of awakening. Lots of struggle, but many are now starting to choose to seek their own truth. Many of them disillusioned Catholics. Saint Francis taught thru Richard Rohr and other Christian mystics helped me find my truth. And yes to Yogananda! I’ve fallen in love with him too. And now David Bohm.
I attribute the growth of new age spiritually to the growth of the internet. ❤
Asha you are a charming woman. Just a wonderful interview Alex and Asha, thank you both so much.
This conversation was beautiful ~ I hope that you have Asha on the program many more times! Thank you to both of you! Namaste 🙏🏼
I adored this conversation! Thank you thank you thank you ❤️🙏🏼💫✨
This was a treat! I hope you get another interview with her! I'm going to have to rewatch it.
I found Asha before I read autobiography of a yoga and it’s so great to see her on next level soul!
This was a beautiful interview (as always). Thank you✨
I love this conversation, she's so very clear.
She is such sweet soul. She brings peace to my soul.
Fab Alex, really important, interesting and inspiring guest. Thankyou so much for what you do.
Isnt he great! Love his presence. Awakening lives everywhere
I just love her 😊❤. Thank you both for sharing your dialogue
The BEST BEST BEST ! This sharing was as a warm relaxing bath to me - so much JOY and LOVE

She is a great representation of Gurujis devotees beautiful ❤
Thank you for having this beautiful soul on your show. I really needed this.
Much love to you both.
🩷🙏🏽🩷
Loved this dialogue.
I really enjoyed this conversation, thank you! ❤
Loved this discussion between you and Asha. I received a lot of clarification and understanding.🙏❤️
Her voice is soothing. Her mind is beautiful. Her smile is pure joy ❤🙏
