SUMMARY:God is Joy: Laughter and Humor on the Spiritual Path\, with Brahmac
 hari Sagar
DESCRIPTION:“A tiny bubble of laughter\, I\nam become the Sea of Mirth It
 self.”\n--from the great mystical poem Samadhi by Paramhansa Yoganand
 a\n&nbsp\;\nGod is joy\, or as Paramhansa  Yogananda himself often explai
 ned: God is ever-existing\, ever-conscious\, ever-new bliss. This ever-new
  joy or bliss of the soul is one of the great gifts of an authentic spirit
 ual life and\, surprising to some\, often finds expression in laughter and
  a wonderful sense of humor. Yogananda himself and his disciple Swami Kriy
 ananda\, along with many saints throughout history\, beautifully shared th
 eir version of this joyful\, playful sense of humor and bliss.\nIn this sp
 irit of childlike humor and joy\, join Brahmachari Sagar for a special w
 orkshop exploring the playful\, blissful nature of the spiritual life toge
 ther. With his own characteristic wisdom and wit\, Sagar will share the de
 pthless teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda on this sub
 ject\, and help to apply them to the personal\, spiritual path and the wor
 ld today.  Don’t miss this opportunity to dive into joy and humor\, enr
 ich your spiritual life\, and share a few laughs together!\n**************
