I have a 34 year old guru. He is as young as a child on a playground and wise beyond imagination. He is also unpredictable and does not follow any rules. He is the one who had a huge scandal in 2010. Sometimes when people hear about him and do the search on-line, they find some ugly tales about him. Sometimes I get these remarks: "Lena, I looked him up on-line and... are you sure you know everything about him?" "Lena, I have some friends from India and they told me that he was a rapist. I am concerned about your and your daughter's well-being" I decided to write a post about it so if I ever hear anything like that again, I will just send a link to this post. I would like to do a little something so people do not miss him. I met my guru in December 2007 and my main message is: DO NOT MISS AN ENLIGHTENED MASTER!

I just finished working on a fundraiser vocal show. The theme for this event was our global community. Many students of my school shared their heritage through this show.

I still have some residue of stress in me and during the dress rehearsal I thought there was no way in the world I would ever let myself believe that I could do a project like that and I told to a couple of my friends that they needed to remind me next year that I was not planning to do it again. However, I did notice several things: I was not as tired as I used to be durin
Amma, the hugging saint from Inida spent three days in New York. I went to get her darshan for the first time. I heard about her from a lot of my friends and everyone was describing meeting her as a special experience, comparing to meeting a Mother. I did my Guru Puja in the morning, asked Swamiji’s blessings to have a great experience and went to NYC. The hall was full of people. As always in NY the crowd is beautifully unique: a typical Indian family in a traditional dress was sitting right next to an executive in a white shirt, expensive suit and a great haircut. I am mentioning the haircut because the next person was with a hair tough to describe but probably rarely this hair experienced soap and water, forget the haircut itself . I saw bare feet saddhus that looked so similar to their Himalayan brothers. Really all walks of life manifested… Enjoying this colorful scenery I was patiently waiting for the program. The line was long. Finally I got my token tha
