Sun One Upadesha Posted We just posted Bodhinatha’s Sun One talk and transcript today. It is a truly marvelous, spontanous inspired talk. Don’t miss it!

Paramacharya Palaniswami have completed their time in India and flew to Bangkok today in transit to Shanghai where they will meet with ShiWen, a scholar who has been reading the trilogy and wants to translate Gurudeva’s books into Chinese.

Meanwhile we bring you another slideshow and movie they sent of their last days in Mauritius.

Srinivasa Raghavan and family they chose a very auspicious day to come. They attended our grand and sacred Ardra abhishegam and puja for Nataraja then toured the grounds to worship at the various shrines. Also with them was Lakshmi and Shyamsunder from Silver Spring, Maryland.

All beautifully dressed in traditional Hindu attire…

…they were wonderful to observe in their devotion to Siva

Following a beautiful and powerful Ardra Abhishekam in the Kadavul Siva Temple, Sureshchandra and Parvatiben Patel visited the Iraivan Temple where they met Yoginathaswami who told them about the history and construction of the Temple.

Sureshchandra is a devotee of Lord Siva and felt that it was purely devonic that he and Parvati just happened to hear about the temple. “We feel very blessed to be here” he said.

In front of Dakshinamurthy and the four Sages.

The Ganapati Kulam opened up the carefully preserved archives of Shum notes that Gurudeva has kept for decades. Bodhinatha requested this so that he could begin going through the material and bring it forward.

Most precious are these hand written descriptions of areas of consciousness, written by Gurudeva himself in 1971. The commentary reads:

“The entrance into the Self through realizing combustibility of matter through space as a solid. Attained long are imkaef (Self-Realization.)”

A strong determination. In this area one accomplishes what they resolve to do against all opposition. The ability to take the strength out of opposition and use it for a positive accomplishment.”

“Making the practice of shumnam (meditation) a part of one’s life so that the inner vibrations of shumnam carry into the astral, emotional body and into the physical body; and one shumnam carries its vibration over to another. This is the name of the practice and the result, sishya and monastic must hold this vibration.”

“Being filled with lawf (superconscious state of being) . Feeling the actinodic body vibration taking over the physical body in meditation. This portrait names this feeling and happening, which only take place in meditation.”

“Talking with the inner mind: inner communication. Sapphire light communication. Hearing and simultaneously seeing. Gaining knowledge from within the superconscious itself and then developing a superconscious intellect.”

“Seeing.
Influence of the presence of physical things in one’s life. Substantial things bring out these qualities.

if you had a boat, you would be influenced to use it.”
