 Ananda Healing Prayer Ministry 
October 309 Newsletter 
Healing Story of Light:
Several weeks ago a woman called me from town, wanting prayers for her grown daughter concerning a very serious and unusual matter. As we spoke, I was struck by her spiritual goodsense, and yet I could see that she needed extra support for her special prayer concern. We keptin touch as the situation developed, and I gave her some healing suggestions to keep Godstrongly in her mind during this time. Meanwhile, I got a small, specialized prayer team tofocus on her prayer need. The last time we spoke – it was clear that Light had entered the picture, and this matched some of the reassurance that I had felt in prayer. A member of the prayer team also confirmed this. So – this created a special understanding over the phone, andshe then told me why she had called the Ananda Healing Prayer Ministry in the first place.She said that about 18 years ago she was at a very low point in her life. She had married a veteranwho had
 Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome
. She loved him and wanted to help him, but in the end,his troubles brought out her own pain, and she turned to alcohol. One night she was in very deepdespair about her life, and was overwhelmed and helpless. She then awakened in the middle of thenight to a bright light filling her room with healing grace and peace. At the center of the Light, shesaw the face of Paramhansa Yogananda. She recognized his face from book covers but she hadnever read his books. She was not a disciple or a follower at that time – she just knew who he was.)She asked, “Where is this Light coming from?” and she received the answer, “It is coming to youfrom Ananda.”She said this was unquestionably the most important event of her life. She changed her life; she lefther husband, and got sober. She visited Ananda Village a few times over the years, but never reallylatched on, so to speak. However, she became very dedicated to Christ. He became her guide. Shehas also helped to shepherd others toward clarity and Light.This experience of Light happened to her so many years ago that there is no way to confirm if anyone had actually placed her name on the prayer list, but it is very probably so. (We often prayfor local situations, for it is one of our best ways to be truly neighborly. People remark that they feelthe healing prayers, and are greatly helped. This has helped to foster positive vibrations with thelocal community.)Anyway, isn’t it amazing that so much can be happening and we don’t even know? So many blessings of our Masters are available through Ananda via books, music, the websites, meditationsand healing prayers; it brings to my mind this quote from the Gospel of St. John: (
 John 21:25)“And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written everyone, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.”
 Swami Kriyananda in Los Angeles
I also felt expansive blessings going out during
Swami Kriyananda’s recent talk in Los Angeles
. Itwas a very special feeling to be outdoors in the amphitheater, with the darkness and peace of theevening all around us, listening to Swamiji. The audience, made up of long time Ananda people andmany first time listeners, felt very connected in the heart to what he was saying. I highlyrecommend you
