A New Phase Begins

After a three day retreat the monks begin their new phase with a homa. After the homa Satguru Bodhinatha gave a wonderful talk about the true meaning of beiong a jnani as one of spiritual attainment rather then an intellectual understanding of scripture. He went on to discusss the importance of temple worship in helping the advanced yogi, or anyone, to avoid the pitfalls of spiritual pride.
