YouTube
Video of the Month |
This
month's video, taken during the 2008 summer tour in Los Angeles,
is Yogiraj's response to the question, "How can you
tell if a person is enlightened or just using their siddhis
[powers of the soul]?" It's a great response with
loads of humor. Check
it out here.
As always, this video and many more are all available on our YouTube
channel.
We're excited to announce we now have three more YouTube channels
where Yogiraj's videos are being translated into Spanish, German,
and Italian.
Check them out and spread the word! Don't forget to leave a
comment and rate the videos while you're there.

Personal
Experiences |
This
month we'd like to share a testimonial submitted
to us by a person who prefers to remain anonymous:
"Since
I was initiated into Kriya Yoga by Gurunath, I was blessed
by the close physical presence of him more or less twice
a year and for many consecutive days (when Gurunath was
visiting my country), plus I had the great opportunity
to visit the Pune Ashram twice. More than one year ago
I moved to another country and since then I was not able
to spend as much time with Gurunath so easily, and I
could not return to the ashram after 2006.
This made me feel sad but I kept my kriya practice as steady as
possible. I now realize that the next step in my spiritual path was to
connect with Gurunath in a deeper and more subtle level.
Once, right after my daily practice, I decided to connect with Gurunath
and the ashram (since I had a very strong desire to go to the ashram
but was not possible to go that year). Suddenly the concept of time and
space disappeared, and I felt I was back in the ashram. Within myself
and all over the place there was a very deep silence. Then I felt the
vibrations of the mercury Shivalingam, and my heart became in tune with
him and expanded.
It didn't last long but it left a peaceful and happy sensation, and
most important I realized that if I really want it, I just need to open
myself and connect with this great source of energy always available
for all of us thanks to Gurunath and his service to humanity."

Earth
Peace Meditation: Sunday June 7 |
A
friendly reminder that the next full moon is Sunday June
7th. With every full moon, Yogiraj transmits his Shaktipat
healing energy worldwide to help evolve humanity into a peaceful
coexistence. Shaktipat is the transmission of a Master's
Kundalini energy which one may avail of to get into an expanded
state of awareness and further spiritual evolution by removing
blocks of negativity, stress and tension.
We can all best receive the healing transmission by sitting
for meditation anytime between the hours of about 7-10pm, your
local time. The exact timing isn't vitally important. Just
make yourself available to Yogiraj by forming the spiritual
bridge between His heart and yours, dropping the mind and opening
the heart. Those who have been taught Yogiraj's Earth Peace
Meditation should conclude with it to help spread the vibrations
of peace.
To read more about the Full Moon Earth Peace Meditations, see
our website.
