The Phase Begins with a Homa, Diksha and Vow Taking.
After years of study and preparation, Saiva Siddhanta Church vratasishya Shanta Devi Periasamy from Singapore received her samaya(mantra) diksha yesterday morning, which means receiving spiritiual initiation from the Satguru to chant Aum Namah Sivaya 108 times daily on rudraksha japa mala. Also, Mrunal and Padmaja Patel of Texas took their Vratasishya vows, becoming formal sishyas (members) of Saiva Siddhanta Church. Congratulations to all of you!

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.
