Jai Gurudeva!

Yesterday the monastery celebrated the chitra nakshatra with a padapuja, connecting with our beloved Gurudeva. Natyam Nandinatha and Natyam Rajanatha performed the puja, which was scintillating with Gurudeva's pervasive love and his roaring silence.

\"God\

s presence is everywhere, through everything, in everything, for Siva is the creator of all things, the manifestor of time, form and the space between forms.\" - Gurudeva'

\"The internal difference that makes a soul a jnani is that he knows who he is and who you are. He knows Truth, and he knows the lie.\"

\"It is the interplay between our experience and how we respond to it that makes karma devastating or helpfully invigorating.\" 

\"A life of discipline is not an easy life, but it is a joyous one, with many soul-satisfying rewards.\"

\"To be affectionately detached--that is a power. That is a wisdom. That is a love greater than any emotional love, a love born of understanding.\"
