Final Day of Maha Samadhi

Some highlights of the final day. October 28th.

A devotee was reflecting in the days moving toward Mahasamadhi this year, reflecting on Gurudeva's words that he had only one power, the ability to transform lives. If a shishya needed one siddi in her satguru, that would be it. Thinking thus, she penned this little ode to Gurudeva:

Only someone as true as Gurudeva could be so humble and silent about something so massive …

What a lesson in
standing in truth
irrespective of what others are doing
standing tall
resisting the temptation to flaunt
standing strong
responding only to love

O! Gurudeva
How much have I
to learn from you,
of you …

I rejoice and bask
in the joy
of having my breath touched
by one as rare as you!
O Gurudeva!
What could I do without you?!!
Infinite love and eternal gratitude
Aum Namah Sivaya!.

It was Eesan and Gowrie Sankara who finished the puzzle.

Complete after many days of assembly.

A perfect perfect day
