Excellent post. I experienced darshan from a Dolphin. No kidding. I met a big rubbery mammal living in the blue waters of Bermuda whose captors trained him to swim with humans. His name was Sirius. I think Sirius was just humoring his trainers because it was he, not they who had something valuable to teach. In the presence of his Being, Sirius embodied such joyous living and love that I couldn't help but drink it in. I smiled for days and even now I smile just thinking about Him. Beautiful. http://tinyurl.com/ok9gbg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7PPx7LtGc4
