Surrender


Surrender feels  as if the light in me bows to the source of light knowing that that inner light itself is the source that is longing to lose separation.  
There is no inferiority feeling but there is a feeling about the Grandness of the Guru.  Feeling of being relaxed.  
Seems hard to express. 
Swamiji expressed it this way:

When we believe there is a Life-force that is conducting this Universe and is taking care of us, we relax. When we relax and are not stressed or worried, we can live and function to our optimum potential. We can express our creativity and live spontaneously. We experience a great freedom and liberation. This is surrender. This is true knowledge also. This is the knowledge that cannot be taught or picked up. The Master can simply transmit it when our being is ready to receive it.
-PURNAVATAR PARAMAHAMSA NITHYANANDA.

My Guru and the Scandal

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! DO NOT MISS A GURU FOR ENLIGHTENMENT1 He was blackmailed by powerful criminals.  He did not give in, did not get scared. He was bet

Amma's Darshan

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

New Thinking in Medical Doctors!

I spent 5 fabulous days at the conference in LA learning marketing.  What made me decided to learn it?  The answer is nothing and I did not decide to do that. I went to another seminar where I happened to win this one. I am grateful beyond grateful for this opportunity.  I will make a list of small and big things that happened here  but this post is not about  that so let me get to the point. The trainers and students were amazing, ideas of what people's missions were truly inspiring. I would call this seminar "marketing new thinking seminar"! Among the students I met two MD psychiatrists and both said that contemporary medical approach  to medications and psychotherapy DOES NOT WORK!!!!!  One said: "You will spend years on my couch before a minor shift happens!"  Another one said: "When it happened to me and I took the antidepressants "...", I started seeing some kind of weird colors and I asked myself "Is it what I am giving to my pati
