It has been observed that Gurudeva's teaching style in his early years when he was working a lot with the general public, was, as one might expect, very much like Bodhinatha's today: very practical, straight forward language that brings the spiritual work we have to do into sharp focus for implementation in daily life.

The last section of this talk from 1962, is perhaps the earliest recording of Gurudeva teaching the principle of maintaining harmony in our relationships and in our group. He speaks of this in terms of residing in a true state of spiritual perception. The audio quality is as best we can get it for this old recording but the teaching is a perennial "Golden Gurudeva."

   Gurudeva/Mamadi/Bodhinatha who is Śiva Nataraja, the One Satguru is ever within all of us who have been graced to become aware of being aware in bhakti at His Lotus Feet. The timeless teachings year after year internalized transcend the intellectual and become experiential Truth in Pure Consciousness, Bliss . Aum Namah Śivaya
