Dear Faithful Readers,
Yogananda said, “One thought can redeem you.” What a statement! How much we all need those powerful, truthful statements to pull us back to center. Such thoughts come to us each day in LivingGrace. In Isha Das, we are blessed with a teacher who has devoted his life to God through meditation, prayer, comprehensive studies, writing, teaching, spiritual direction, and over 40 years of psychotherapy practice. Through the grace and inspiration of the Gurus of Kriya Yoga and Mystical Christianity, he writes these daily reflections that offer us “one redeeming thought” and very often, “just what I needed to hear.”
Living Grace is the most popular outreach of the Assisi Institute, reaching readers across the world. It is available free of charge each day of the year.

Here, enjoy a few recent excerpts. May they bless your day!
“Take the words of Jesus, and live your life as though they are absolutely true. Every day, read a few lines from one of the Gospels, and to the best of your ability, implement them in your life. Talk to Jesus as if he is available and always near to you.”
“We know we are under the influence of the ego when we are driven by the compulsion to comment on everything and everyone. We think we know best, we think our opinions really matter, and we think we are in control. All illusions!”
“Making space for God’s presence in our day-to-day lives is really very simple; it is about offering everything that we do, even our most mundane activities, to God as an offering of love. The Bhagavad Gita tells us, “He who offers to me with devotion only a leaf, or a flower, or a fruit, or even a little water, this I accept from the yearning soul, because with a pure heart it was offered with love.”
