This morning I saw a devotee, I was pleasantly surprise to see him. I remember asking about him a few days ago to one of the ashramite here. She was not sure, exactly who I was asking about. So to see him today, I was really surprise.
He lost a lot of weight. He looked kind of lost, and he said now he is getting mental treatment, he said he was kicked out of his home too. I really don't know the whole story, that much I was aware. Then he was in tears as he was sharing. Could tell that he went through some hard time in his life.
I remember seeing him, two years ago, with his family. He and his wife. There were very supportive. I was just shocked to see his current situation.
I just thought, I am so glad that I am closely connected with The Incarnation now (Swamiji) because who knows what the future holds for us. I am glad at least the connection with the Master, the most important thing is already happened. Of course, from here He will take me Inward.
All this is a great reminder not to take life for granted.

Inner Awakening
Well....finally the extra ordinary IA is over. Out of 21 days, 19 days they received energy darshan. The energy none ever witness before. The first energy darshan itself, a devotee who was not able to walk started walking down the stage. Hmmm.......soon we will hear the participants speaking....
Next is Jayanthi.. First Jayanthi after the scandal. It's interesting to see, those who are standing by the Master, how strong and steady they are. Enlightened Community is happening.
Then Online NSP, international level will take place. Wow........awesome. Going beyond time and place, somehow I look forward to this shift. It will be interesting to see, how many able to cross the conditioning of place and space. God...........somehow, my visualization is it's going to be fun and extraordinary just like this IA. As He says, always the first one has it's own thrill !

Selfless love
This morning I was talking to a close friend of mine. One of the topic of our conversation was 'Selfless Love'. Of course we were just chatting and this happen to be one of the thing we talked about. So I am just sharing that with all. I realised in 2004 when I was attending the Acharya training for LBP, first presentation I did very well. That was presenting to a group of people with Swamiji sitting and guiding us. The second presentation, I didn't do so well, when came to the topic selfless love. It was in the chapter of Anahata.
Now, as I was sharing to my friend today, I realised, then I had trouble in that topic because I was not able to relate experientially to 'selfless love'. I was referring to Ma Sarada Devi. Who I didn't even know much about her till I moved in to the ashram. I was trying to present it through my reading and some understanding that's not even clear. Of course it's easier flow of sharing or presentation if it's from my own experience. I can speak confidently too.
Anyway, today I realised this topic is not difficult at all for me. I can easily talk about selfless love because I have the experience on the receiving end. I know what it means and I can relate with it. Swamiji is the being who is the 'Giver', and I am on the receiving end. Really the longer and more I help in Swami's mission, and being part of Swami's organization and mission, I TRULY know and experiencing of selfless love that Master showers on His people, overall to the society.
He is unconditional Giver. Reminds me of the saying how mothers' will breast feed her baby even if the child kicks her on her chest or bites her nipples, she will bear the pain and continue to feed the baby with much love, she relates with the child no different than herself, it's her own blood and flesh that she's holding and feeding. Anyway............that's my own connection with Swamiji, the Cosmic Mother. He showers unconditional love and care, I know experientially the meaning of selfless love.
For me, I experienced it by actively being part of Swami's mission. There's so many things you can do and share with the Sanggha or temple. Swami has created the space for everyone, we do not take the opportunity and we keep on pointing finger at the Master that He is selective, He is not giving me the experience, I didn't get a chance and so on............we missed these opportunities for many silly and petty reasons. So again welcome, join the Spiritual hub that Master has created in every corner of the world. These days even via online.

IA and eN-Genius
IA is Intense and Extraordinary. Not only the program, but also the participants of this IA are surely intense and extraordinary. What a blessing these special souls!
First energy darshan, I witnessed Swami healing a devotee who was not able to walk, walking down the stage after energy darshan. God..............what a joy! The whole, celebrated her healing. Everyone in the hall applauded...god. you should have witnessed it, many participants walked to the stage towards the healed participant and gave her a hug. We saw how much she was struggling, the first couple days in the ashram. And now to witness her walking down the stage and in the hall. No, right words to express that feeling of Joy for her and gratitude to Swamiji..
That's one of the highlights of this IA.
eN-Genius is my favorite. It's really cool to see the kids relating with the Master and also to see how sweetly Swami relate with the kids. The questions they ask him, God....way better than the questions from the adults. In fact from their questions to Swamiji, I learned a lot. So many clicks for me.
I see it as these kids attending IA at the age of 4, when we adults only getting connected with Him and spending around Incarnation in 30s and 40s. Not to mention in 50s and 60s :); these kids are exceptionally blessed souls.

Completely forgot.....
Nithyanandam,
Wow....funny, actually I forgot completely about this blog. I just forgot completely the idea of blog itself and most importantly, I have one that I have been updating it. Anyway, glad at least I remembered it today.
Anyway....now the most updated news with the scandal news is Swami Sachit is finally released from the 'protection' of Indian polices :) and he is doing well.
There's another update. Vinay is behind the bar. Vinay use to be associated with the foundation but left the foundation long time ago. However I came to know that he actually is one of the complainant against Swamiji for unusual sex. Mmmm...... supposedly he was a victim it seems. I lived in the LA ashram, again and again, all I can say is I have never lived in a place that is so safe and pure. Never one being there behaved lustfully. Anyhow, I can only speak for myself and count blessings.
Blessed are those who able to experience bliss and especially be still connected with the Divine who is here to awaken the divinity in us. Again words makes everything too small, only those have experienced Swami's grace and compassion, and blessed, happen to have the awareness or experience of the happening of the incarnation on planet earth, can relate with what I am expressing with NO doubt.

New Sex Scandal
I meant to share this a few days back. Actually the day the Indian newspaper published another sex scandal story about Swamiji, I wanted to post something on the blog. I am SO glad divine gave me a chance to be in Bidadi, to witness the happenings around the Master.
While I was busy assisting with IA registration, suddenly we had to make space for the journalists / reporters. The breaking news of new scandal story about Swami, must have caught media's attention. Anyway, the best part was I was there while the press conference was held.
One of the speaker from the ashram was the famous Bhakta Swami. Wow.......saw the other dimension of Bhakta, standing up for the master. He was very clear and stern.
It was also interesting to hear his view and how he address one by one the statements published in the newspaper.
Ooops....have to go. I will have more time next couple days, since I'm done with IA registration.
I want to share a little more on this new scandal story, IA and my Favorite; the eN-Genius.
OK have to go now, catch-up with you soon.
