Recent visitors and public tour guests
The blessings of Bodhinatha's presence in the Mini Mela after the public tour gives everyone an opportunity to thank Him, offer books for signing and even pose a question or two. It is always a rare privilege to watch how Bodhinatha seems to "read" the guest and give them just what they came for. The magic that surrounds the Guru is always there in a subtle way but on occasion not so subtle.
A beginning health practitioner sat before Bodhinatha recently and appeared a little depressed. He confessed that while he loves his new field he can't seem to avoid "taking on" the feelings and moods of his clients and feels quite burdened once the treatments are over at the end of the day. Bodhinatha asked us to go get "Merging With Siva" off the bookshelf and we brought the pocket book edition. After a few long minutes of searching he told us - "go get the big one, it is not in this edition".
We then handed Bodhinatha the hard back full edition and he opened the 924 page book to where the silk book mark lay gracefully along the page. You might have guessed it - that was the page - and there was Gurudeva's lesson on how to build a strong force field when working with others!

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.
