Chants and Songs of Ananda
Sing out with JOY!
The Newport Community Chanting Group is open to all voices and forms of spirituality. They have invited the Grace Note Singers, and Ananda Meditation and Yoga Center to lead their program on Saturday, October 8, 2016 at the Emmanuel Episcopal Church in Newport.
Our session will open with a 20 minute presentation by a few of the singers from the Grace Notes Singers who sing for patients in palliative care and hospice. It is their intention to hold those present with love and support as they sing together. They use their voices to create a blessed and peaceful environment for patients and those who care for them. www.gracenotesingers.net
Afterwards Jiavanna will lead the group in joyful songs and deeply healing cosmic chants from Ananda, composed by Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda, his direct disciple.
Paramhansa Yogananda has said that on the spiritual path, “chanting is half the battle”. It opens the heart, awakens and deepens devotion. In this blended program of chants and songs we explore deep teachings for guidance and joy in everyday life and heart-opening love in our spiritual practices.
Come, join us for a JOY-filled morning!
Donations for the session are accepted to support Emmanuel Church’s community meal program.
