For over 40 years, this work in Seattle area has touched countless lives. It's a journey that's far from over and requires our full commitment. Looking back, the gifts received—joy, peace, love—far outweigh what we can ever give in return. Open your heart, don't be afraid to give.

The Yoga of Money
June 14, 2026 @ 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm PDT
Blue Lotus Temple, Bothell.

You are invited to a roundtable forum to discuss the spiritual aspects and techniques of financial responsibility and material success. Paramhansa Yogananda described the skill and goal of making money “industriously and honestly” as an important spiritual practice for the soul’s evolution toward Self-realization. Any skill or possession that we offer back to the source of Life in a spirit of service and non-attachment becomes blessed many times over.

In this roundtable we will share skills, practices and techniques together with the counsel given to us by Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda that we might clarify our goals and spiritualize our intentions around material success. Individuals will share stories from the lives of successful people who have brought “Spirit to work” in the world.

Topics may include:

Date: Sunday, June 14th, 12-2pm (after Service)
