I was watching a film called "Finding Happiness" that was about the founding community in California of the worldwide Ananda Sangha, a spiritual organization based on the earlier teachings of Paramhansa Yogananda and his book "The Autobiography of a Yogi".
I wasn't convinced of the genuine nature of the film in depicting a harmonious community and decided to interview 2 of the founders. Due to so much conflict in the world at this point and my thinking that ashrams are often hornets nests behind the scenes I thought I'd question these 2 founders and now chief directors, Jyotish and Devi (husband and wife) about my misgivings.
