Three Sishya Advancing on the Path Receive Vishesha Diksha
Three sishya advanced today on the spiritual path of San Marga, taking their Vishesha Diksha vows on this very auspicious Guru Purnima day. Ravi Visswanathan, Sheela Visswanathan and Uma Tandavan, pledged themselves in service and dedication to the mission of the Kailasa Paramapara and received the initiation to begin daily Saiva Atmartha Puja. This is both the culmination of years of preparation and the beginning of a new stage of spiritual practice -- kriya and raja yoga -- for these devotees. The Vishesha Diksha also marks full membership in Saiva Siddhanta Church.

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.
