We have the technology… Vedic technology… the most powerful and 100% positive technology in the world!
So, for goodness sake (and I mean that quite literally!), if Madonna could change the world, we certainly can – and will.
As Peter Drucker said: “The best way to predict the future is to create it.”
The retreat ended yesterday. How can I convey it to you? Maybe we should have filmed a docudrama. Though that would, at best, give a mere glimpse.
It was fantastic… so powerful… so amazing. We should release the lecture series as a video set, though I do not know if that is feasible. The pujas were incredible. The five-hour havan moved heaven and earth… it defies description. During it, I had the thought, “This will unleash immediate and explosive purification.” And it did… tangible waves of purity radiating throughout the mountains.
Not only the ceremonies, not only the meditations, not only the lectures, not only the overwhelming enthusiasm of those visitors who did not even attend the course, but only came for an hour or a day… everything… the personal interactions, the children at play, the power of the temple altars, what it felt like to lie down to sleep at night, the crispness of the mornings, the stars in the still, quiet, motionless darkness of the night skies, the fall leaves, the palpable shakti permeating the air.
All I can say is that what we are doing is working. Forward! Forward! Always forward!
Spiritual Knowledge… real spiritual knowledge is so profoundly subtle. It is what I teach. When I look at the world, even the current court case in the news and see how people think, how they react, how they behave… and what forms their opinions… It brings me face to face with what I am up against.
How can something so sublime as deep spiritual knowledge be conveyed to a world of such fractious emotionality and irrationality of thought? Yet that is the task at hand. I see no way to resolve the world’s challenges other than to face that one supreme challenge head on. Yet we have a great technology available to us… Vedic technology. Furthermore, we have the very nature of life itself… the natural tendency for separation to merge back into wholeness… oneness… Unity and Harmony.
Regardless of the degree of the challenge, there is nothing else to do. There is only to face the wind head on and move in the direction of the Divine that dwells deep within us all.
The past 48 hours were among the most significant of my life. Huge transformation. This Mahashivarathri at Mount Soma was truly incredible.
The temple was powerful… beautiful… profound. All of Mount Soma was permeated with an indescribable feeling of significance… full, alive, dynamic, and deep. Parked cars lined Mount Soma Boulevard and all parking lots were full and overflowing with cars. People filled the buildings and grounds. I spent a good deal of the time in deep meditation. When not at the temple, the Ustream image continually ran on my computer.
As a child, each holiday had such a tangible feeling unique unto itself. That richness was limitless and omnipresent here. I spent time walking outside… a good distance from the temple, just to feel it from afar. It seemed that hundreds and hundreds of yards of separation did nothing to lessen its influence. I walked in an aura of undeniable Divine Radiance.
It is happening. What a great time to be alive…
Delivering a package, a driver for DHL asked me what this place, Mount Soma, was all about? I told him the following:
There are two approaches to science… conventional and Vedic. Albert Einstein studied Vedic a great deal. He met with Vedic scholars and studied Vedic texts. Much of his work was based upon the Vedic understanding of Creation.
I was a physics major in college and my interest was in the nature and manifestation of existence, which lead me to study Vedic science.
This place is dedicated to the science and technology of Vedic knowledge.
He was intrigued.
