Quote of the Day
“Beautiful flowers blossom; the sun and moon rise and set regularly, playing in their own delight; the galaxies of stars and constellations twinkle and illuminate the sky; the wind dances in all directions, drunk with its own joy, blowing its own music into every home; and the rippling waters of rivers and rivulets flow continuously, singing the name of the Lord.”
~ Swami Muktananda
Happy, Happy 30th Lunar Anniversary of Swami Muktananda's Mahasamadhi!!!
Today, October 29, 2012, marks the 30th lunar anniversary of the mahasamadhi (passing, merging into the one) of a very high being and meditation master—Swami "Baba" Muktananda . So much Shakti (energy) swirled around and through Baba that wherever he went, thunderstorms, power outages, and other major weather events often followed. It is no accident that the energy of Hurricane Sandy is swirling around Shri Muktananda Ashram on this very special day.
Though I never met Baba in form, his world tours made teachings that have had a profound impact upon my life easily available for all seekers. I am filled with love and gratitude for all he has blessed me, and the world, with.
