Today again Swami was giving importance for having healthy body. Yogic body. How we should own the body and the body should listen to us. Body is the closest thing that we relate on daily basis so He was sharing the importance of having healthy body and accepting our body.
It is very clear that body has it's own intelligence and it will listen to us. "The body has intelligence to change food into blood", He said. Well it make sense. So it has the intelligence to stay healthy too.
Then He was also stressing how important to live in awareness. Of course He has put us is the Radiate Enlightenment Process, one of it is Zen Living, so we have to be aware of every action.
OK now I have to share the fun part. FOOD... wow, food here is great. I enjoy it much. Normally I care less for Indian food but this time, it's different experience. Food here is so tasty and so many varieties too. Today is Sevananda's birthday. He is one of the man who's been helped by Swamiji with His healing. I forgot Sevananda's disease but I remember him sharing that he had a fatal disease and Doctors gave-up on him.
Today we celebrated his 60th birthday. We had a feast. I had parotha, vada, chikku (fruit), vanilla & chocolate ice-cream, rasam (in a cup), sambar, eggplant. There was kheer too but I care less for Indian dessert.
Life in this ashram is so complete. Incarnation, enlightened beings, kids, fun & play time, seva, good food, spiritual and coperate training, great food, great outdoor environment. I can go on and on. Especially the Living Master and the community who are here to learn and help each other. That's the ultimate. Everyone helping each other and continuously looking inward. On top of having a Living Enlighten Master, contniously provide unconditional love and care.
