One day while Satguru Bodhinatha Veylanswami and Sannyasin Senthilnathaswami were in Austin, our hosts Ravi and Kumaridevi, and their little daughter Bhuma, took us nature sightseeing. First was a beautiful forest trail by the Colorado River, rich with green grasses, mustards, ferns, the first few flowers of the season and butterflies. Next we went to Mayfield Park, near Mount Bonnell (Texas's only… well… mountain), to see the beautiful gardens, but most of all the gorgeous peacocks. The males' tale feathers were bright and fresh. There were about a dozen peacocks hanging out in the trees and wandering the park paths. It was a real treat.

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.
