Shambhavi initiation

"If you open up your body, mind and emotions, your life will be pretty good. If you open up your energy system, it will become magical"- Sadhguru

As some of my dearest friends are preparing themselves to attend the Shambhavi initiation in about a week, I can not help but experiencing the tremendous joy and excitement in me. I remembered how the initiation broke me down completely and rebuilt within me a new life, a new energy which I have never experienced before. I received a major overhaul of my body, mind and emotions. During the initiation, the flood gate of my tears opened up, I cried like a baby the first time in a long while ever since I was born, Sadhguru carried me into His laps and poured out the kind of Love that cleansed me from inside out. I was never the same since that day.

Now that my friends are ready to go thru the same process, my tears and heart expand with Sadhguru's Love as time getting closer for them.

May Sadhguru's Love touches you like He has touched millions.

Sadhguru's hand writing- Divinity manifests in words

Sadhguru is always with you

Last Isha Kriya Session of 2014 was held on Dec 11, it was a stormy night, as a rain storm was gliding thru, I drove myself to host the event, thinking I should have cancelled the event, not that many people would come I said to myself, it is wasting time.

As soon as the Session started, I was hit by Sadhguru's presence really hard, I started crying. As if some kind of conversation between Sadhguru and me had begun. First He asked me why considered cancelling the event, was because fewer people are coming? He said he has always been here with me, is that not enough? Then He said for 30 years, He has not missed a single event, what I have been doing now is what he had experienced when he first started the journey 30 years ago, how lucky for me to experience the same? I cried even more.

That night after the session, I shared with 8 participants and 3 volunteers how I first met Sadhgru and how Isha has changed my life forever. I saw tears on some faces, it was a good night, a good session.

Devotion is a dimension that will allow you to sail across even if you do not know the way- Sadhguru

You have to be born again

Recently a dear friend came to me with a lot of pain and fear, because his life is falling apart. Nothing is working right now he said, if nothing changes quickly, I don't know where I will be by next month. I saw nothing but sadness in his eyes.

I congratulated him because not long ago I went thru the same life and death experience. I chose death, which is to let go of control and let existence take over my life. I am glad I did, it was not easy but it was very simple, because you don't need to do anything. My life is never the same after that because existence is in charge, not me any more. My perception/ awareness has gone up ten folds since. This is beyond logic. I see divinity every day, right here within me.

At certain point on our spiritual journey, suddenly one day you will reach this point where there is no more path, either you will have to take a leap of faith- consciously choose death to who you are, or continue the path which created by you over and over again.

Make wise decision my dear friend, time is ticking.

If you have to be born once again, you must die first- Sadhguru

absolute devotion

I had opportunity to work with one of Sadhguru's trained teacher since April. She is very young and focused. She is always full of energy, never complained. While we all get tired towards the end of the day, I think her day had just begun. She is very sharp, has absolute clarity on any subjects that we brought up. One time I was praising her that how beautiful to be with her, and she corrected me right away saying it is not her, it is all Sadhguru.

I learned from her the absolute devotion, one point focus of volunteering. Many times I was watching her working, it brings tears to my eyes, There was no rest for her anytime of the day, just selfless devotion. She does not own a home, no possessions, but she has the world.

looking back last five months working with her, it turned out to be such a blessing. I feel alive, grateful. The awareness is surging, and the best above all, I noticed Sadhguru's presence more than ever before.

Devotion is when your involvement with life is so absolute that yourself do not matter anymore- Sadhguru

Life is involement

It has been a while since last blog, not just because work has been busy, also because Sadhguru has been in California for a couple of months, all activities were intensified.

Looking back last few months, seems like motion pictures fast forwarded.  Activity after activity, no time to even think about what was going on. I have driven more mileage last two months than previous year altogether. This has been involvement at its best.

One thing I did not expect, however, was how much inner growth has happened for all of us among mediators. Last Saturday during monthly Sathsang, I could not help but noticing each meditator looked like a beautiful flower, one by one, as each one of us blooming right in front of our eyes. How do you explain this awesome experience? We all have become one, touched by the existence at that moment.

"Life is involvement, where there is no life, there is no involvement"- Sadhguru

Jesus and the cross

for 25 years, used to be a christian, I learned from Bible that Jesus was nailed on the cross because he loves us, willing to die on the cross for us in order to wash away our sins.

As I continue to grow in Sadhguru, I now have a different understanding of this. To experience life, to be life, you have to step aside, you are in the way. In other words, you need to devoid yourself. To simply let go of controlling of your own life, because you really cannot control any thing in life.

The night Jesus was about to be crucified, he asked the divine to take away the cup of death, it is too painful facing death. Yet he also said only Father's will be done, not his own. Meaning if life has to happen, self has to go, therefore death on the cross, no more self. Once self is gone, life rushes in, and your life begins.

This morning one of the meditator I admire and respect very much called, she was in tears telling me how she gave her heart and soul to volunteering, yet some how she was misunderstood, unjustified by the situations and people around her. Listening to her, I felt her frustrations and pain. Suddenly this Jesus and the cross image came to my mind, and I shared with her, she was very inspired and encouraged. Because she is in this critical transitional place, either she becomes Christ, transcend her self thru cross like Jesus, or continue to identify herself in worldly manner and suffer.

Volunteering is a process of giving yourself. It’s an opportunity to give yourself- Sadhguru
