The Chela To Chela Podcast

       Welcome to The Chela to Chela Podcast - Interviews and Conversations with Disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda.

       Somewhere it is written that only you can do the work that you came in to do. Anneke's story is compelling. She came in to work on some heavy things this lifetime.  In fact this incarnation is all about work for Anneke…as an advocate for victims of  child sex trafficking, she tells her story around the world and mentors those who have suffered child abuse, helping them work through the past to grow and be free from the repressed emotions that often are the private and burdensome property of survivors of sex abuse. 

       For Anneke, healing from trauma is a spiritual growth activity and her take-away from years of involvement in her own healing and counseling of other survivors is "you have to do the work -- there is no bypass -- and when you do the work the magic happens……"

       Hear Anneke's wondrous  story of how she found Master and how she shares his unconditional love with those whose hearts are heavy. For Anneke, Kriya is the magic and meditation the tether that keeps you with the Guru in perpetual safety.

       In private practice and on the world stage, there is no doubt that Anneke lives a life of dharma and service.

       Anneke has kindly offered a special devotee rate for trauma consultation by phone or video conferencing.

       Welcome to The Chela to Chela Podcast - Interviews and Conversations with Disciples of Paramahansa Yogananda.

       We each walk a different road to get to our Gurudev. But once in the fold, we share the blessing of those who know Him.  The inner knowing compels and propels us onward and upward! Jai Guruji! Jai!

       In this episode we get a glimpse of a devotee's life in India … before and after finding Guruji. We learn about the Mumbai group of devotees and then hear from Ajay about what it was like growing up in an Indian family.

       Walk with Ajay as he remembers his quest for That Something Else and the 5-year test that beset him after finding Guruji, and what he learned from it.    

       A horticulturist by profession, he is better known to his friends as an intrepid pilgrim traveling to the farthest and most ancient holy places in India.  If long distance walking across India, or scaling the Himalayan heights to Mt. Kailesh, or trekking to see the Valley of Flowers is on your bucket list, Ajay is the experienced devotee to be your guide.

       You can find Ajay's contact information on the Chela to Chela Private Access page for Subscribers only.  On the Private Access page you will find whatever information our guests would like to share; whether it's a free gift, a referral source, an email ID to connect further, an announcement, or a special discount on products or services.

      The Chela To Chela Podcast is brought to you by Soul Calls Infinity. We are pleased to share with you the music of the Soul Calls Music Meditations. The music for this episode is "Don't Let Me Go" from the Soul Calls album "Soul Calls Six ~Dark Night" by Saranya. 

     You can find lyrics, commentaries, and free listening on the Soul Calls website: https://www.soulcalls.org and on the Soul Calls Music Meditations YouTube Channel  https://www.youtube.com/SoulCallsMusicMeditations.

       Welcome to The Chela to Chela Podcast.   Most devotees have experienced the angst of feeling misunderstood and alone.  In this episode Kirsten shares her story of how, feeling completely misunderstood by her family, she left home at a young age and found the source of her anger was not her parents; it was within herself. Internally "screaming for help," answers came in anciently familiar expanded consciousness experiences. Alone and isolated by her new understandings and experiences, her search began.

       From facing and dealing with unwanted emotions, feeling extremely  isolated, and being widowed soon after her marriage, to finding Master and having a life of service to Guruji's organization, Kirsten's story reminds us of Rajarsi Janakananda's statement: "What my Master's done for me."

       You may relate to Kirsten's personal expression of devotion. And you might find that her working definition of introspection and "letting go" will have a twist to consider in your own sadhana.  At the end of our conversation Kirsten shares an insightful, simple, and compelling perspective on "being in the world, but not of it."

       Welcome to The Chela To Chela Podcast.    We all know that Master said a smooth life is not a victorious life.  In this inspiring episode Pete Olson takes us on a journey from drugs and alcohol to saints and sobriety with a gratitude that epitomizes Guruji's words about the movie of life in Whispers From Eternity:

"…ah, it was a good film, full of life and worth-while struggle.  I learned much from it."
