February 19th Homa
Today Saravananathswami performed the homa to begin the phase. Satguru Bodhinatha offered the written prayers to the fire and then gave a short talk about temple worship, discussing the difference between external worship and internal meditation. He pointed out that when one approches the Deity in the temple, it is the power of the sight that helps us to hold our awareness in order to receive the God's blessings.

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.
