Brahmarshi/Maharshi

treeAs most of you know, I was given the title of Brahmarshi recently.  I was quite humbled by the honor.  However, it is my understanding that Brahmarshi is such an exalted title that some even say there are no Brahmarshis in this age of Kali Yuga.

I have nothing but the utmost respect for those who gave me this title.  However, after consulting with Pandit Prasad and others, I have decided to change the title from Brahmarshi to Maharshi which is, I feel, more appropriate in this era.

I trust all will understand my decision and know that it is done with the utmost respect for all involved.

Please send all emails for me to [email protected].

Tollywood

Yesterday was a lot of fun.  Over a dozen people visited from Tollywood (South Indias answer to Hollywood). They were absolutely wonderful!

First they visited the temple.  Then after lunch, I spoke in the meditation hall, followed by Pandit and Lakshmi.

Then the Tollywood stars sang, danced, and performed skits.  It was totally delightful!   Love flowed and filled the room.

I will be visiting Tollywood (where they will be scheduling a talk for me and a TV interview) the next time I go to India… perhaps in January.

Vedic Birthday

In the Vedic tradition, your birthday is celebrated when the Sun and Moon are exactly the same distance apart as they were the day you were born.  This year my birthday was September 24.  The two-day celebration was quite an experience.

~

We are embarking upon a great expedition.  It will be years before all the results are in.  There will be a number of phase transitions along the way. One such transition was when I started the school.  Another was the start of Mount Soma.  Then, when Sri Somesvara Temple was inaugurated.  The power of the Sri Somesvara’s influence is continuing to grow.  Its magnitude will not be fully realized for years to come. There will be many more major transitions along the way as we create an enlightened city as described in the Shatras. Soon it will expand out to other corners of our globe.

~

When you embark upon a great journey, you have no idea of all the crossroads, hills, and valleys you will traverse.  Yet you have a direction you are moving.  Like that, no one knows what all we will encounter and exactly what marvels we will bring forth along the way.  Many decisions will be need to be made.  Many questions, yet unanswered, will need resolution.

~

So far we have done well.  In fact, I look back in humble awe upon our successes.  So many decisions mandated.  We met every challenge and surmounted each obstacle. Not only are we still standing, but looking back, we have done well.  We have chosen well.

~

There is a technology of global transformation to peace, joy, and abundance for the entire world.  I intend to bring it forth.  The time is right.  The time is now.

~

I am in humble gratitude to the Holy Tradition of Masters who, through the ages, and continue to, light our way.  It is ours to cut away the vines that have overgrown the path.  For those vines, only time is responsible, and it is time that enables us to once again clear the way.

~

I have only one goal… only one purpose… and that is to bring forth an enlightened world.  For me, nothing else makes any sense.

Om Shanti, Shanti, Shanti

Mount Soma Visitors

Two saints from India recently visited Mount Soma within 12 hours of one and other. We enjoyed them both very much a look forward to their return.

~

The first saint spoke to our group on Wednesday.  He was delightful. Sitting on stage with him, I enjoyed watched the smiles on everyone’s faces as he spoke, sang, and chanted.

~

A number of people have asked me to evaluate the level of consciousness of these saints.  I do not feel it would be right for me to do so.  I certainly do not want to set up such a thing as a precedent.  Suffice it to say that I loved them both and look forward to their next visits.  Their visits were a real joy and their presence here has enriched our lives.

~

With such visits and other activities, Mount Soma is getting to be more and more fulfilling (and fun!) by the day.  More and more fascinating things are occurring on a regular basis.

It is difficult to announce these things in advance because they happen so spontaneously and often are set up at the last minute.  It is also not always clear who is coming or exactly what will occur.  At any rate, it is most fulfilling to see all of this unfold.

~

As one visitor commented recently: “The temple is beautiful.  The ceremonies are fantastic.  The environment is lovely, but I come here mostly for the incredible energy that I feel here.”
