It is the end of another short four-day phase. We will be on Friday, Sun One, January 8th.

Brahmachari Vel Mahalingam Goes Home
Our dear brother Brahmachari Vel Mahalingam will be returning home to Mauritius during our retreat. We wanted to take a moment to thank him for his great service during his six-month task force.
He was a valuable member of the team and also an ever bright uplifting spirit.
He made many contributions, serving with the Siddhidata Kulam.
He promises to come back every three years! And we all look forward to having him with us again.

Bodhinatha's Latest Upadesha: "Detachment from Experiences; Importance of Daily Vigil" (May 5, 2013)
All experiences are good experiences, necessary to get us here. Awareness of aspects of ourselves that are constantly changing is a liberating perception, breaking our chains to mundane areas, detaching from instinctive and intellectual to go into superconscious. The greatest challenge facing youth today is the lack of relating to the devotional side of Hinduism. Daily practice, daily vigil, moves us forward spiritually. Commentary on Merging with Siva, The Master Course, Lesson 21.
