Something Swamiji Said

by Romy van der Pool

Tonight i had a dream. Swamiji and Ashutosh and a few other people were in a room. Swamiji spoke to me, from where ever distance of time, because i am now in my home in the Netherlands:"if you connect with me be silence...” .....

I gave a meditative dreamtime concert today, it was from this....and very fine. Afterwards opening the Ahymsin newsletter i found this.....

“One thing that does not change is the interior most silence of the Guru lineage and that silence is the true prayer. If you know how to enter that silence you can meet your Guru every day.”

- Swami Veda Bharati

Being grateful for all the teachings and blessings. Thank you Dear All.

This woman, Romy van der Pool, in school at the age of 8 years, dared not to speak for 1 whole year.  June 2012 she was asked to give 1800 people….children included, a short meditation at the end ceremony of the Eigentijds Festival. The organization asked her also to give this meditation immediately after her Eagle dance as she learned from a Native Australian Aboriginal ElderThis time in black clothes…with her white feathers and white paintings on her body, or whatever she needed for it. She wondered how to do this, as she always gave her meditation/connection Guru, in white clothes! They, the organization, had asked her to give it as connection, energy lines, connecting everything….for the people when going home afterwards would still feel connected…

The days before this to give, she walked around with the inner question to ask for help to her dear Teachers, Swamiji or Ashutosh, for guidance….

The dream she had a few weeks before was sent to Caroline contained: Swamiji sitting near to Romy saying: when you want to connect with me, be silence….

Preparation. In the festival the days before, she  gave many Himalayan yoga, meditation teachings, Surya Namaskara with mantra,  extended Gayatri mantra, Blue Star…to the people…with little fasting daily …..The day for the ceremony, she went to the meditation place near the big fire….she found the answer how to give form to the meditation and connecting with the Eagle ceremony. The  oneness of the Himalayan, Australian Aboriginal and Native Indian…and all other Elders…The words for the meditation, Thy SVB  meditation, where repeated in herself three times   This she had given so many times to her students…….it was alright. In fasting before it, the connection and silence trust grew…..Inner decision came to put a yogi blanket over her feathers and paintings….nobody could see the meditation giver as an eagle…

In this way she walked silently between all the people to the middle, for sitting close by the great fire. Microphone inside the blanket and waiting until it was her turn to speak. She had half an hour to prepare from then…. To open up to the Great Loving One, concentrate all the energy…of 1800 people, now  singing with Aye, Aye…voices louder and more and more sounds of Jambe and Didgeridoos, almost dancing.

The energy of the ceremony was prepared, built up enormously….! To sit in silence in the middle of That was completely new to her…. Wondering, still preparing, concentrating, asking, the Elders, the energy of all those people….to be in contact with the Guruji Hiranyagarbha, the golden womb, the Mother…,…same with the Eagle like Guru of the Aborigines and Amerindians…Grandmothers, as well. Heart rate was slowing down….All are same Loving! She had searched for the answer…how to connect it with the Hiranyagarbha…and found Ancient, to give the ALWAYs …Giving….Being. The attention of exciting energy from the people was brought together in the circle, with the announcement she had asked the organisation: Ancient meditation….

Then it was time to start, but the microphone was not connected, again, again, she tried: saying…. Please…. It was not open connected! Still there was a silent trust, relaxed in her. Suddenly the microphone was working. She started with…. Please, just in the way you are, sitting or standing, just in the way you are ….for only a short moment, close your eyes….  And so on.

People were guided into GURU meditation…it became Real….The meditation with feeling the flow ….. through that thin line…It was a blessing….

She remembered the words…from Swamiji’s booklet: may the blessings you give, become through/true.

She remembered the words of Swamiji in Hungary, three times spoken: it is not needed to read the books…..

Meditation ended by throwing off the yogi blanket as being The Eagle, The seeking and seeing One of Native Aborigine, Native Indians, She Looking ONE ….flying into Surya, to the most Giving Light Energy for Life, giving as a message to all: go, fly, be into That Light. Flying she went, Searching how to give Form /Emptiness, form, emptiness….

She the Eagle flew to the festival big Hologram of the flight of the Eagle. It is huge, about 5 meters high, made in rainbow colors. . Look here: http://eigentijdsfestival.nl/hologram

When I came home, after a few days I opened my emails and saw the newsletter from the Institute of the Himalayan Tradition ….astonishing! Sent on the day and time she arrived on the festival 7 juni 2012 16:02. This Photo looked like the Wilka Zelders’ Hologram for the Eigentijds festival! Please look on internet, on the Hologram Eigentijds festival Wilka Zelders .Only not in rainbow colors, but now made of clouds in the sky!!!! Same form! Romy sent it to the organization of the festival, they saw and were amazed. They wanted to know who had made this picture!! If you like enjoy also the small beautiful film: Song of the Flight of the Eagle there!
