On Sunday, June 2nd, we will be installing a huge granite Hanuman statue a couple hundred feet west of the Sri Somesvara Temple at Mount Soma. To do so involves major multi-day ceremonies with Vedic pandits from all around, culminating in the installation on June 2nd. In its power and beauty, it will be similar to the inauguration of the temple, which many of you attended. I am looking forward to seeing Hanuman up on that hill along Surya Lane. The sheer presence of such a murthi elicits profound enlivenment of the Transcendental depth of my soul. To see Him there every day is something I look forward to with great anticipation. I remember when we placed the Nandi statue across from the temple. From a long distance away, you could feel the dynamic they together set up. With the addition of Hanuman, that feeling will be enhanced many-fold.
To live here at Mount Soma, in the aura of the Unified Field generator we are constructing, is to live in the highest Heaven on Earth. The instruction manual for such a generator is there in the Vedic texts. You may then wonder why such a place is not already in existence. The answer is simple… it is Kali Yuga. In Kali Yuga, that type of question is answered by saying it just must not be true, but that characteristic mentality of Kali Yuga is the very reason it hasn’t been built. But with the transition to Sat Yuga, this place is happening. I would strongly encourage you to not miss the opportunity of this inauguration which will, in time, be recorded as a great event in history.
Construction of my new home at Mount Soma will be completed soon. Our current home at Mount Soma is now up for sale. If you are interested, contact Hayley or Naomi at the Student Union (828-627-6200).
I look forward to seeing many of you at the Hanuman installation.
Jai Hanuman!

The Bhagavad Gita is like a small cup that holds the seed of all knowledge.
The day before yesterday at the temple during Vykuntha Ekadasi, Pandit Prasad chanted one verse from the Gita containing the essence of that seed.
We offer the world Mount Soma… a place where one can come with no knowledge of that essence and leave a day later having awakened to it.
Once that essence is awakened, enlightenment is not so far away.

The atmosphere here at Mount Soma is alive with the energy of Mother Divine. It is wonderful to be with everyone here.
I am happy.
P.S. I am adding to this blog after going up to the temple this morning as is my routine. The alter that Pandit and Lakshmi created is amazing. The shakti energy radiating from it is truly fantastic. It reminds me of what it felt like to sit with my Maharshi.

It was over 30 years ago that I first learned about the concept of a global “harmony generator.”
Before Thomas Edison, no one imagined that a little bulb could light up an entire room. A harmony generator is similar (though functioning on a much deeper level than a light bulb) in that it radiates peace and harmony to the world.
Also similar to the light bulb, people have a hard time believing it is possible until after it is built. To me, the logic is there. It is self-evident. We can build it. The technology is there in the Shastras already. It is the plans for an enlightened city. Just as there are design plans for a cell phone, there are design plans for an enlightened city that will radiate a profoundly powerful influence to the entire world. It is not enough to build a few temples, some housing, and an assembly hall. Everything must be designed and located precisely. Similarly, a cell phone, is more than a handful of arbitrarily placed electrical components. The science is exact and detailed.
Sounds like a miracle. Well, yes, but so did a camera, antibiotics, a computer, an automobile, an airplane, etc. until someone stepped forward and built one. The good news is that construction is well over half done. If we could raise $15 million, we could have it completed in less than two years.
I know. I know. It is too incredible to believe. Well, again, so was the light bulb until someone made it.

I was asked a rather intricate set of questions about mantras to which I respond:
The universe manifested in a mathematically precise manner creating a very precise underlying structure to creation. The building blocks of that structure are mantras, which have a corresponding sound. Those sounds each have a specific quality which, when chanted, enliven that value in the physiology and psyche. The science of using the right mantra at the right time in the right manner is subtle indeed, just as using the right medicine at only the right time and dose is of great importance.
On one level, a mantra is a sound. From another angle, a mantra is a word with a meaning. From another, it can be a name of a God… i.e. a name for one facet of the One. Some say a mantra should be done with reverence or it will not be effective. That is true and not true. If the mantra is repeated without reverence, it still has an effect. Slowly it will melt the ice. Slowly one will awaken to the warm sunshine of the depth of ones being from which the mantra emerges, for you are one with the Unified Field, the underlying basis of all that is. A mantra warms the soul, so to speak. As things thaw, life is felt more fully. The fine texture of Divine essence begins to be more fully felt from within. This naturally blossoms into reverence.
On the other hand, if reverence is there already, so much the better. BUT we must be careful here. There is mood-making and then there is genuine reverence. Emotional indulgence is not the true reverence of which I am speaking. Real reverence is an evolved state of physiology… not an attitude or mood. Remember, echoes of Truth perceived as Truth hold Truth at bay. The same is so for reverence.
Clinging to what one may think of as reverence when doing a mantra could interfere with the blossoming of genuine reverence, which emerges from the very depth of your being. For this to occur in an undistorted, balanced, and fully integrated manner is most delicate. Feeling deeply and feeling deeply with refined pure tone are two different things. Like radio receivers, the same music may be heard, but with varying degrees of clarity… distorted or distortion free. Clinging to the distortion that has infiltrated the physiology inhibits the evolution of the reception.
When the physiology is pure and free of stress or strain, the body thrills with the vibration of mantras naturally. Repeating the right mantras at the right time in the right manner over time creates that state of harmony within… harmony with nature…. harmony with the true Self. To evolve means to reawaken to the You that eternally dwells deep within each individual. Mantras facilitate the process when used properly. Mantras are born out of the depth and can be used to awaken you to the depth.
