Just forwarding something I received from a Purusha in India. Best wishes, David Hawthorne CIMG1982.JPG. Jai Guru Dev and Holiday greetings from Ved Bhumi, Bharat. Winter has come to our mountain retreat and with it Silence and the inward pull that comes with snow and cold. It's a good time as long as the electricity is up and the heaters are working. Otherwise it can get a little discouraging as the weeks go bye, I'm sure you know the syndrome, perhaps without the power-outages. One has to admire the locals who have never had power, but a couple of cows (or buffaloes) and a wood fire can go a long way, as our forefathers experienced. I hope all is bliss with you there and that you get a chance to support the Invincible America Assembly and your own Atma over the holidays. The coming US election drama will be a long and potentially divisive affair without the Pandits and the bliss generated by all the Governors and Sidha's and Meditators in America. Amazing Knowledge flowing from Maharishi Ji, as you know from the Maharishi Channel. Brahma Vidya, Pure Knowledge, is the greatest purifier and it's pouring out these days, enlivening the already awakened Pure Consciousness of Mahatma's like your great selves. Good to drink from that well, to keep the Buddhi sattvic out there in the midst of all the rajas (not to be confused with Raajaa's) of worldly life. Maharishi Ji has been awakening us to the memory, smriti, of the Self, Atma. That memory of Infinity and it's Point, Gyan Shakti and Kriya Shakta, Silence and Dynamism is the ground of Brahm, Totality, Unity. The world with it's rattle and hum, the push and pull of the "drama's" of waking state consciousness leave a different memory, one of division and pain and fear. So good to keep the intellect (Buddhi) whose nature it is to divide anyway, floating on the basis of a rested nervous system and a mind full of the memories of Ram (Ramayana), Brahm (Gita & Mahabharta), Kriyaa Shakti (Durga Saptashati & Shrimad Devi Bhagavatam), etc. It makes such a difference to spend a little time on Veda or Upanishad or Purana every day, in Sanskrit if you know your swara's, or in English in which the wholeness comes through, even in the parts. Or the Maharishi Channel, just that darshan of the Global Country of World Peace flowing, the play of Unity Consciousness, within boundaries of the Raajaa's and the Family Chats..and Maharishi Ji's lectures transform at a level not available in everyday worldly experience. Even if the intellect throws up objections, the inner memory of Atma is awakened. Ram Raja, where suffering belonged to no one, is recalled on the cellular level. Important in the world of transformation, to keep the unitary transformation, zero-point motion open to our perception. Jivo Brahmaiva Na Paradh The Individual is Cosmic. Thank you for support of Purusha and all of Maharishi Ji's programs all these years, it is a great gift to us all to be able to be part of this undertaking to transform the consciousness of our world, to guide the destiny of mankind towards Heaven on Earth. We are very fortunate. Keep it up, more bliss is coming in the days and weeks ahead as the direction of Time turns heavenward, radiating the Light of God. All Glory to Guru Dev. Maharishi: "The role is that the teacher is absolutely woven into this knowledge. And when the knowledge is in our awareness, it's the total teacher that is in our awareness. It is said in the Vedic literature, about the teacher: Na guroradhikam; na guroradhikam; na guroradhikam-"There is nothing greater than Guru; there is nothing greater than Guru; there is nothing greater than Guru"-because Guru is the embodiment of all that is greatest. Guru is Brahm-Gurur Brahma, Gurur Vishnur. These are not the words of adoration. This is the description of the reality of Guru. Guru is on the level of totality personified. When Guru speaks, it is the totality that speaks. Words of the Guru are the words of the Veda. Veda is only heard from the Guru. So Guru means the totality. And if one is in the sense of Guru all the time, one is in the sense of Total Natural Law and its total organizing power. And there is nothing greater than that. That's why Guru is completely natural in our awareness. It's not a matter of anything that is from outside or anything. It's completely natural. It's simple. It's totality. It's a great-it's a great thing; it's a great thing. One knows it in being that level of-being that level of relationship. Na guroradhikam-there is nothing greater than Guru, nothing greater than Guru. " MMY-Guru Purnimah 2005
