\"Dambara<\/a>
Dambara in India<\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We spoke with Dambara <\/strong>while he lived in the Ananda Community in Mountain View, California. Dambara now serves with Ananda in Oregon and also travels with Asha Nayaswami worldwide as a wandering minstrel, singing Swami Kriyananda\u2019s music for her public talks and workshops.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> You\u2019ve been a long-time member of Ananda\u2019s music ministry, singing Swami Kriyananda\u2019s music and playing guitar. You and Manisha volunteer as cooks at Master\u2019s Kitchen, and you\u2019re a member of the Ananda Sangha staff. What has attracted you to service?<\/p>\n

Dambara:<\/strong> It\u2019s very simple. I see service as fun. From the moment I joined Ananda, there was never any hesitancy. My thought was, \u201cI want everything that Ananda has to give, a hundred percent,\u201d and for me service was a natural way to go about getting it.<\/p>\n

Each of us individually need to find the balance of service that will give us joy. Some people don\u2019t want to be part of an organization, and that\u2019s normal at this point in time because we\u2019re breaking free of the old forms where the spiritual institution was all-important. But you do need an organization. Paramhansa Yogananda said that he was creating hives where people could come to sip the nectar of divine inspiration.<\/p>\n

Ananda isn\u2019t like an Indian ashram where everything is free \u2013 here in Silicon Valley it\u2019s a very different reality. The energy and money to keep Ananda going have always come from people who love to give back because of how much they\u2019re receiving. They love what Yogananda is giving them, and they want to help Ananda share it with others.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Should people assume that if they see something going on at Ananda, they can ask \u201cCan I help?\u201d and they\u2019ll be welcome?<\/p>\n

Dambara:<\/strong> It\u2019s a wonderful thing to do. \u201cHow can I help?\u201d They can be assured that they\u2019ll receive a very positive response. It might be \u201cSure, you can jump in and help right now!\u201d Or \u201cLet\u2019s figure out a way you can help.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 1970, when Stephen Gaskin started The Farm, his community in Tennessee, he said, \u201cYou are God\u2019s eyes on the planet. If you have the thought \u2018Someone ought to do something about that\u2019 \u2013 then you\u2019re it.\u201d I remember that saying often and I think \u201cMaybe it\u2019s me.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s easy to sit back and enjoy the benefits, but that\u2019s like a child who\u2019s still dependent on its parents. At some point it\u2019s good to step up and take ownership \u2013 good, because it\u2019s good for you.<\/p>\n

After people have been at Ananda for a time, they reach a crossroads where they realize how meaningful it all is, and how wonderful it could be for others. And then you look around, and you don\u2019t see a ton of people supporting it, and you understand, \u201cOh, it\u2019s just us, and oh, I do have a place in this.\u201d So yes, it\u2019s very appropriate to check in and ask how you might help.<\/p>\n

Q:<\/strong> Do you find that it helps people\u2019s spiritual lives when they help?<\/p>\n

Dambara:<\/strong> I see more joy in their eyes. They\u2019ll usually get hooked on service after they\u2019ve had an \u201cAha!\u201d moment while they\u2019re serving in some small way and they experience that happiness. Asha said that our primary work at Ananda Sangha is to create excuses to get together and have fun.<\/p>\n

In the early days we created many big events just to give people a chance to participate, because it gives them a taste of the joy that comes very naturally when you\u2019re serving this work. You\u2019re offering your energy to God, in service to Him in others, and it\u2019s every bit as important as our private meditations and spiritual practices. They go hand in hand.<\/p>\n

In the beginning, there\u2019s a phase of searching where we\u2019re \u201cchecking it out.\u201d You go to various places looking for what\u2019s your own. I remember going to many classes and feeling, \u201cThis isn\u2019t it,\u201d until I found Ananda. It\u2019s normal for people to check us out and move on, but it\u2019s different for those who have found something here that speaks to their hearts. \u201cThis is special. This is mine. I need to know more about this.\u201d<\/p>\n

I see a light in people\u2019s eyes when they \u201cget it\u201d that this is theirs, and they find the joy in participating. But it always needs to be done appropriately, without overdoing it and getting stressed. If you try to do everything, you\u2019ll risk getting burned out and having to pull back. Far better to relax into the process and take small steps and move ahead naturally.<\/p>\n

Any small step is a good start because it brings big rewards. It might be as simple as helping clean up after the bagel bar on Sunday. It\u2019s a good idea to look around and see what needs to be done and ask how you can pitch in, but you need to go at your own pace and have your own experiences.<\/p>\n

When I found Ananda, I was ripe, so I went full-speed ahead. I didn\u2019t take on any big positions, but I volunteered. I loved listening to the audiotapes of Swami and the singers. There were tons of them on cassettes \u2013 this was the 1980s \u2013 and they needed to be sorted and organized, so I started making a long list of the tapes, and it helped me as a singer and musician, too, because it was fun to see what the tapes were, and in any case I was a naturally organizing Virgo type, and it felt good to do something that was both fun and useful. But there are always lots of opportunities, depending on your nature.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll tell you this: we truly bow before and appreciate anybody who has the time and energy to help, because it has big returns for us. The Sangha has a staff of just four people so we\u2019re spread pretty thin. We have a few part-timers who volunteer, but it\u2019s not a lot of people, and we\u2019re deeply grateful for anybody who can help.<\/p>\n
