The first day of the Hanuman installation was incredible. The feeling here is so powerful, so alive, so eternal. The Pandits chanting together carries us all into a vibrant transcendental state so palpable that the entire physiology resonates to the solid pulse of Mother Earth and the most Heavenly forces imaginable all at the same time. To experience it is to know the Truth of the Absolute.
Everyone here at Mount Soma is very excited. The five-day installation event starts Thursday.
The other day we all gathered as a huge crane moved Hanuman from the Visitor Center yard up by his location in Hanuman Park. The crane will return to put Him in place during the event.
Shiva Kumar (vastu expert) arrived from India some time ago to prepare everything. t is great to have him at Mount Soma again. It is also a great joy to have everyone pouring in to attend.
The Hanuman murti (statue) is very impressive. The crane operator said he has been doing his profession for 30 years and this is the coolest thing he has ever done!
Personally, I am fine with any name or title, provided it is respectful. It is amazing how passionate the feelings of so many are around my name. Some insist it is disrespectful to call me anything other than Brahmarshi. Others insist that there have only been two Brahmarshis in all of history. Some say Maharshi is a title no one could possibly argue with. Others say it is not accurate. Some have suggested Guruji. Others insist that Guruji has many negative connotations in the mind of westerners. Michael, most insist, is not right. It would be like addressing a judge in the courtroom by his first name.
No matter what name you choose, someone will be upset. What to do? I have decided to go with the name that seems to please the majority of people and that is Maharshiji. From my side, I am fine if you prefer any of the other Vedic terms described here that may please you. I would prefer to stay out of the debates. If you have comments, that is fine. But I think we have heard more than enough perspectives on the right or wrong of any name or title so please refrain from adding those sort of comments.
Though I am not at all what I would consider famous, the debates on this and many other subjects bring to light the idea: The flip side of fame is infamy. I find it all to be most fascinating. I am grateful. After all, fascination is my favorite emotion.
I remember first hearing about the upcoming time of profound jyotish events around 30 years ago. That was at the same time I first learned that the Veda explained how to build an enlightened city – the seed of Mount Soma was then planted. I had forgotten all about the Jyotish when I proclaimed this year to be The Year of Manifestation.
I know that many of you have been experiencing a great deal of purification lately while nature has been clearing the way for these profound events.
The end of this month, at the Hanuman Installation, we will be welcoming in the Age of Enlightenment. To be present during the installation is indeed to be profoundly fortunate… like catching a wave that will carry you to the highest heaven. Here are the jyotish details:
Time to jump on board, hang on to your hat, and enjoy the ride! Awesome!
Now you can go to a live view of Sri Somesvara Temple 24 hours a day.
You will find it on the home page of both MountSoma.org and SriSomesvara.org.
Not only is it beautiful but also a practical way of checking the weather at Mount Soma.
