Go on Alone

Go On Alone This book shows that small communities of individuals seeking a new way of living can provide a model for the present age. Go On Alone is dedicated to all those who want inner freedom. It proves that such freedom is attainable. Little groups of individuals can accomplish what large social groups have never been able to achieve. The Ananda communities, in their history of over thirty years, have demonstrated that attitudes of kindness, sharing, and cooperation actually work. Swami Kriyananda, author of some 150 books and composer of over 400 works of music, has devoted his life primarily to helping develop the cooperative community movement. Ananda communities thrive around the world. After numerous "trials by fire"-figurative as well as literal-Kriyananda, and those who chose to share this dramatic adventure with him, have succeeded to the point where theirs is a story that needs to be heard. Ananda is a meaningful alternative to greed and cutthroat competitive practices. You will find in these pages a deeply meaningful story. If what you seek in life is greater inspiration and understanding, you will find fulfillment here. The story is different, yes. In some ways it is highly unusual. Its underlying message, however, is universal.
