SPIRITUALITY, ART, NITHYANANDA

Listen to the song my daughter wrote for her 16th  birthday. "NEW BORN KINGS"  She met Swamiji when she was 9 years old.  She is 16 now.  She has "wings".  By the way, she is not the only one.  Every teen whom I met in the programs that my Guru conducts has the same spirit that Life is a Possibility . How about you?  Do you still remember the excitement to start living your own life?  So many of us after experiencing difficulties or disappointments decided that these "wings" are not real, that we can not do what we wanted to do because life is not about that; that life is a burden and you are a little part in a huge mechanism where you are supposed to follow the rules that others create for you, you need to shrink a little to fit somewhere, to be accepted and approved.   If you are not following the rules, then something is going to be wrong. It is dangerous.  By the way, we are in fact parts of a very huge thing but we need to be op...

This happened on November 27, 2013. I am still only in a process of recovery from this accident and although it is painful I would not miss this experience and if I were asked to change the past so that the break of my shoulder would not have happened, I would say No, No way. I was meeting my son and his girlfriend at the parking lot and when I was taking things from one car to another, my car started rolling back and I tried to hold it with my arm.  I know, I know, that was really stupid.  I agree completely.  Why on earth I had an idea that I could hold a car that weighs…..Anyway, I fell.   I actually had a weird feeling of "giving up".  Not sure I  can better describe it.    Then it was an sharp pain in my right shoulder.   My car was heading to hit other cars on the parking lot but my son came to the rescue, jumped in and stopped that moving machine... I remembered right away the techniques Swamij taught us when he broke his arm and h...

My daughter was finishing her 8th grade and the main question was how to continue with her high school education.  So many questions! Should we stay where we were for her high school years, should we look for a different school district, and if yes where and what to look for. During one of our trips Alice spoke to Swamiji and asked him for a support with a career in the arts. I have to tell you that I am well aware about the "practical thinking" that says that the career of a doctor or a lawyer is a much more sure thing than something with the arts.  Only it feels like creating out of limitations vs inspiration. One thing I realize that as a parent I should be striving only to create support structure for my children to be their highest possibility.  I have no right to give them my own ideas that come from my fears or lack of confidence.  Swamiji calls them "incompletions". I was not born with my incompletions, I accumulated them with or without help of others s...

Christmas 2012 What an awful day it was for me today  Why?  Because I was all about me, my suffering, my emotions.  I was not living for others.  I was all about feeling my pain. My husband left us for the second time this year.  The first time was several years ago, and it was close to holidays. It was such a shock and so much pain that it was almost the feeling of being numb through the whole thing. Kids and I went to friends for two days in a row, and it helped us through the holidays.  By next Christmas, I already met my Guru.  Thank you, dear  God!  Suffering was gone. My ex-husband then came back, and I took him back without any conditions, trial periods, whatever.  I was so happy to have a family back together.  He came back as if he never left but only with a lot of anger and meanness.  It was as though he was mad at me that he came back.  Three years later he left again. This Christmas is the first one when I...

From 2010... Paramahamsa Nithyananda is going to a Bangalore Court  to officially declare that he is God.  He says if they want to argue, he would enjoy a debate.  He says  this is the land of Advait  God realization is a birth right of every human. He follows Upanishad that every human being is God.  He also will create a precedent to help enlighten Masters who are under different attacks in India nowadays.  He tries to inspire Indians to protect their culture and rich traditions instead of following somebody elses.  I am sure he will create and actually already has created a lot of tension.  Along with tension he will create inspiration.  It feels that awakening is happening in the society.  We will see what comes out of this. This whole thing reminded me about the movie "Miracle on the 34th street" and how New York was voting if  Santa existed or not.  New Yorkers decided that yes, Santa was real and it was...
