Commune life and the Ananda farm commune in California
The article profiles Ananda, a 240 acre California commune near Nevada City where 35 residents live with 25 others in the broader movement. It covers membership rules, finances with upfront payments of 1000 dollars for individuals and 1500 for families, 65 dollar monthly fees, and the aim of spiritual growth over sex or material desire. It notes sociologists Burger and Kloss views on communes and reports Jyotish and Kriyananda as leaders, plus practical details on screening, novitiate stays, and voting on new members.
