Now after Years of Yoga Nidra, I Am Moved from the Inside

The writer of this letter to Swamiji has generously offered to share it with you. 


Dear Swamiji,

 

My illness started in Malaysia in 2005 with sight problems including double vision.  In November I was accompanying my son to Singapore by bus when I suddenly became paralyzed from head to toe. I could neither walk nor move my arms; I could hardly swallow and barely breathe. At the same time I suffered terrible muscular cramps. We were close to Malacca, and the bus made an urgent detour to take me to Hospital for Emergency treatment.

O Master!

As you came walking

On the path made of roseate crimson earth,

My consciousness waltzed around

As smoke from smoldering sambrani[2]

Where your foot-impressions were!

Out of my participation in the Yoga-conference at Whit Sunday, the Initiation event after Christ's resurrection, I wrote the following full moon text.  Andy Logan helped me translate it into Enlgish.  (Editor's note: Wolfgang's invitation can be remembered  whenever  you next sit or as a reflection of the invitation that is with us at all times. )

I. Vaishytha's Cave


The blue green Ganges
gushes through the mountain gorge
to water the fields of India.

So, too, my world heart
Pours peace upon
open souls.
 

Sitting with the Swami

PDF Print E-mail
 
I wanted to sit there longer. On Swami Veda Bharati's left at the head table two Saturdays ago at University of West Indies’ new Daaga Hall in St Augustine,  I heard each breath he took. They were deep, calm, and measured. His hands rested lightly, if not on the table, on each of his thighs. He held his back straight. Swaddled in subtle orange, he blinked infrequently, his eyes lowered and focused. It was, I suppose, a meditative state that, after decades of study, training and contemplation under Swami Rama of the Himalayas, was now his normal condition.

Spiritual Festival Guidelines for 2010

PDF Print E-mail
Namaste Everyone,

With "The Spiritual Festival Guidelines for 2010," there's a lot there, and it could be intimidating to new initiates.

The Spiritual Festival has been going on for about 20 years, so for older initiates the general procedure is familiar.  

Basically two things are done:
(1) increased japa practice, and
(2) making spiritual lifestyle changes.

Each year Swami Veda emphasizes certain specific things, and so those are implemented for sure.
