David and Anaya Gamow

Anaya worked on many of Swamiji’s projects over a period of 30 years, including Ananda’s publishing company, his public lectures, music promotion and performance, outreach ministry, and Ananda marketing. She and David were present for many public talks, satsangs, and meetings with Swamiji. She played key roles in Village community planning, and with The Expanding Light and Meditation Retreat. She supported Asha’s outreach work in her early years touring. Since 1996, she has done marketing, website development, and directed music at Ananda Palo Alto. She recently published the Ananda Songbook with a small team.

David has been involved in managing many businesses at Ananda, including Master’s Market, Ananda Country Products, the Meditation Retreat, and East West Bookshop. He helped to manifest Rajarsi Park, the Sierra Family Medical Clinic, and the Meditation Retreat Temple, and worked with Vidura and the management team.

David and Anaya were part of the Joy Singers group that Swamiji sent on tour throughout Italy in the early 2000s, and both have been active with Swamiji’s music since they arrived at Ananda in 1983.

Since 1996, they have been based at Ananda Palo Alto, and have provided stress management, meditation, and leadership training to corporations and government agencies, based on the teachings they received at Ananda.
