Mata Yogananda

Mata Yogananda Mahasaya Dharma is the Founder and Patron of this Self Realization Sevalight Centre for Pure Meditation, Healing & Counselling.

Mata Yogananda devoted her life to the teaching of Pure Meditation and to making it accessible to all who are ready. She showed us through her example that it was her wish to spread the teachings of Universal Truths in practical and down-to-earth ways ~ so that everyone may incorporate them into their life ~ and to show how to find deeper meaning in life and connection with our True Self, bringing the peace, love and freedom that we long for.

Her way was always to teach through example ~ to show how by putting spiritual principles and practices into life, you can bring about profound, positive, lasting changes. By putting the spiritual science of Pure Meditation into your life, all aspects of life can be improved, and, if the desire is there, Self Realization can be found in this life time. Although she passed from her body on September 29, 2020, Mata Yoganandaji’s teachings of eternal wisdom continue to shine as a bright light ~ guiding the way through life’s problems and difficulties on any level of being ~ helping souls to find their own wisdom and fulfill their true potential.

Testimonials

Pure Meditative Peace class ~ I never spend money on special things for myself, but I decided that this time I was going to. It was well worth it. Its truly amazing how much meditation helps. After just a week of practicing my meditation, I was able to feel a difference. I was alot more calm and focused. I have a sense of well being, also. Even though I don’t always feel peaceful and focused during my practice I’ve persevered, and I can definitely see the results in my daily life.

Staff Retreat ~ Tools for Life & Relaxation workshop at their location ~ Joanne was prompt, friendly and knowledgeable when she came to our staff retreat to teach relaxation exercises. Everyone found the exercises useful. Thank you Joanne for a wonderful team building experience.

Pure Meditation Course, residential ~ Life changing experience available in Bath MI. I can't say enough about this place and it's meditation program. It has improved my life as well as my families. I did a full 5 day retreat and it was the best decision I made and a gift that keeps on giving. Be prepared to be in silence except when in class. The meals are great and the program is well done. On breaks see all kinds of birds, fire flies at night, comfortable rooms and never be the same strung out person again.

Pure Meditative Peace class ~ It is definitely worth it. Make time for yourself! I've improved healthwise and also dealing with other people and day to day stress. Helped with major stomach and digestion problems.

Dear Joanne, I would like to thank you and the Centre for all the hard work and commitment you have to creating such a loving, open, healing environment. I have had the pleasure of taking yoga classes, going on retreat, and receiving counselling and healing from the Centre. At a time when I was deeply grieving the loss of my Mother and three little ones, the counselling and healing at the Centre was the only thing that brought me back from a very serious depression without taking synthetic medication. The counselling at the Centre comes from such a space of unconditional love, it is really incredible. It was so comforting to be able to process and heal in a non-judgmental environment. The silent retreat I attended was so peaceful. The trails were a great place to contemplate, and the meals very nourishing. I felt like I was lifted up and supported and also allowed to do what I need to do at the same time. Thank you again for all that you do, and may the Centre continue to provide all of these critical services to the community for years to come.

Gardening Angels needed ♥

We have some lovely gardens near the Centre ~ and they are filled to the brim! We are happy to point out which plants need to be removed/composted if you are not an experienced gardener. Enjoy creating a more beautiful garden with satisfyingly visible results !

Trail Blazers and Woods clearers ~ Tree-freers needed ♥

Our walking trail is looking very jungley and hard to find! We have some manual tools, but if you have a weed-wacker to bring with you, even better! We also have a lovely pile of wood chips to spread once the greenery is removed. And our rural Centre-home is nestled in 3 acres of woods which are being invaded by garlic mustard + invasive vines: honeysuckle, bittersweet plus grape and poison ivy. We need help to free the trees by cutting/detangling/removing the vines that are already climbing & choking them. Then continuing to repeatedly cut the invasives until they are exhausted so we don’t have to resort to poisons! Happy, free of invasives, trees and woodland areas help create a more nurturing environment for all to imbibe in nature’s wonder, peace and healing.

And more ♥

We always have a number of special projects and would love to hear from you!
