It is very bright, mangalam day at the Aadheenam. We just went through the powerful full-moon retreat of Kartikkeya Deepam, followed by homa this morning and Ardra abhishekam today.
Sadhaka Dandapani’s family is here: mother, father and two brothers. The oldest brother in the family, Darma recently married Shivali. Bodhinatha blesses them with a shawl.
Darma and Shivali sit for blessing during our early morning homa.
Bodhinatha gave a deep talk on the nature of the soul and God-Realization. He spoke on Gurudeva’s Shum explanation of two ways to come out of Self-Realization, a quick way and a slow way. He described the various states of awareness one encountered in the process.
