Connected in Consciousness

Dr Gitanjali Mohapatra, Odisha (19th January 2017)

I am a staunch devotee of Sai Baba ever since my childhood, but in the clutches of Maya. I came to know of Father Mohanji from Dr Nikita Naredi , my doctor who herself is a blessed and enlightened child of Sai Baba and Father Mohanji. I am by nature a very anxious and sensitive person, always used to remain scared, insecure, and worried of every situation in life. Seeing my state, Nikita ma’am asked me if i was interested in attending the Power of Purity meditation by Father Mohanji. I eagerly showed my interest for the same.

Since quite some time I was feeling pathless in life .I was desperately asking Sai Baba to guide my life in the right direction. I always talk to Sai’s photo, question him, fight with him .Few weeks back, I was complaining to him that he doesn’t reply to me, come to me in person or talk to me. Then I learnt that Sai Baba was Mohanji. Sai Baba connects to people through Mohanji.

The Power of Purity meditation was scheduled on 8th January 2017 in the ashram of Father Mohanji in Pune.The night before I kept wondering if Mohanji was Sai Baba. I kept thinking if Sai Baba would abandon me. All these thoughts kept me awake till 3 a.m in the night. I don’t remember when i fell asleep .In my sleep, I had a vision. I still remember. In front of the wall of my bedroom where i have hung a photo of Sai Baba, stood Father Mohanji. I couldn’t see Baba’s photo. Father Mohanji was huge and tall almost touching the rooftop. He was in his usual self with open hair, wearing a long robe, colour of which was not visible as bright golden light was emerging from all round him which had lit the entire house.

Then suddenly i woke up surprised. It was almost 8:30 a.m and I had to get ready to go to the Ashram. On my way to the ashram I told about my dream to Nikita ma’am. She was very happy and told me that I have already connected to Father before meeting him. Being human, I still didn’t feel convinced. Before the meditation, I started doubting if I really connected to Father Mohanji in my dream and if the meditation was really going to help me. As I always felt I was an ordinary human with so much negative karma, how could I be privileged to have connected to a Brahmarishi?

But to my surprise when the Shaktipat was given, I could not breathe for some time, I felt dizzy. I felt as if air was unable to enter my lungs. Slowly I started breathing but gradually I lost the feel of my physical presence. It was an eternal blissful feeling as if i was in vacuum, thoughtless, detached from everything including myself. When the meditation stopped, I didn’t want to come out of that state. When I opened my eyes, I saw Father Mohanji’s photo on the wall. Involuntarily my eyes closed again and I smiled with so much peace and satisfaction. It was as if I was brimming with some positive energy. I was so much overwhelmed with bliss. I could not speak a word. Tears rolled down my eyes – tears of gratitude. I felt dhanya (fortunate). Never in my life had I felt like this. I felt as if I got what I was searching for, answers to all my questions. My gratitude is not enough for all of them present there and especially to Nikita ma’am who introduced me to the family of Father Mohanji. I pray to thee Father Mohanji and Sai Baba to continue to bless us the same way forever.

OM SAI RAM!

The Flowing River – the continuation of the journey

By Subhasree Thottungal

The small stream that originated some time back is getting fuller and fuller with new streams getting merged and together forming a bigger stream. The aim is this stream converting to a river and merging into the final destination, the ultimate, the vast ocean.

Thus is the life in spiritual path with Guru Mohanji. Experiences after experiences, each day gets enriched. No theory, no stories. Only real experiences. Enhancement of a usual materialistic life engrossed only bothering about self – “me and mine”. Rising from there to the world of selfless compassion for the world, moving away from own materialistic interest – a huge jump that is only possible because the Guru is holding the hand and taking you forward. No looking back, no falling down as the Guru and Guru Parampara is there to hold securely.

Well, continuing from my last expression about the spiritual journey with Mohanji since July 2015, I would like add my experiences thereafter.

Post London Retreat – July 2016

The London retreat in July 2016 finished. Mohanji returned back to India. Two days later, his blog appeared. He wrote about his meeting with Avadhoota Nadananda in Bangalore straight after landing in Delhi. In this blog, he mentioned about a pious event that will take place during the Navaratri festivals in Oct 2016. This will be the day when Avadhoota Nadanandji (Mohanji calls him Guruji) will confer a title of a very high stature to Mohanji as per the instruction of his Guru Mandala. Reading through this blog, i got goosebumps. A spark rose in the heart. Can I be there to witness this “once in a life time event”?

Kailash in Lanzarote!

Days and weeks passed. Month of August 2016. A team of about 80 people had gone on Kailash parikrama with Mohanji, many of them were from our UK group. I had been following the updates regularly. Photos from Kailash were not just beautiful scenic images. They had life and were passing the Shiva tattwa energy from these photos. The power was such that sitting on the seashore of Lanzarote (a small island part of Canary Islands, Spain, where we were on a family holiday), a small hillock just inside the sea, felt like Kailash. “Om Namah Shivaay” chanting came out spontaneously. Suddenly, clouds above, took a circular form. The epicentre lying just above the tip of the small hillock! Morning sunrays piercing through these clouds indicated definitely something divine!

5 days of holidays in Lanzarote turned into an amazing experience of “a taste of Kailash”. Kailash calling! Mind argues– “Kailash? Impossible”. Well let’s see…only if Shiva wants and Guru helps.

Attending Brahmarishi Title ceremony!

We return from holidays. After a few days, Kailash team returned too. We get together and team shared their experiences. During this discussion, Vijay bhai mentioned about the title ceremony in October, which is now official, where the “Brahmarishi title” to be conferred upon Mohanji by Guruji. A spontaneous question came out. Are we allowed to go? He said a small number of people are invited and he would anyway check with Mohanji and confirm. A couple of days later he confirmed that we can go and gave the details of whom to contact, etc. Having crossed the first step, the joy was immense but practical situation wasn’t easy. It was school term time, work was quite busy. How could I justify travel to India? This didn’t seem possible. My heart sank. Then a voice came, “Why worry? Leave it to the Guru. If it is destined, you will be there to witness such an important and lifetime event of your Guru.” I left it all to Mohanji and my routine continued.

After a few weeks, a work related meeting came up for which a visit to India was required. That too in Bangalore! Attending the Brahmarishi title ceremony seemed possible now. Adjusting the dates slightly, I planned my travel. I had to reach there just a couple of days before so that I could attend the event as well as attend the work meeting. All sorted. Tickets booked. Deep gratitude for the Guru was resonating inside my heart to have made this so smooth, sorting out multiple things, which otherwise seemed quite difficult. The complete surrender, the unconditional faith doesn’t go waste – I am completely convinced about this now.

Few days later, my loving grand ma-in-law (Muthi Amma) passed away and her 11th day shraadh ceremony fell right on the day I was reaching Bangalore! Muthi Amma was a very loving soul and I loved her immensely. We shared a very lovely bonding since the first step I made into her family home after my marriage, 16 years back! We both didn’t understand each other’s language. But love and affection need no language! Our bond had become very strong in the passing years. She was bedridden for last couple of years. At the age of 90, with very less memory, hearing and sight, she would still recognise my touch and call to her as ”Muthi Amma” and would respond feebly – “Subhasree maru makala” (meaning daughter-in–law). She would hold on to my hand for long and wouldn’t want to leave it when I get up to leave. Passing through memory lane, I wished I could attend the final day of her ceremonies – the 11th day when the family gives their respect to the parting soul and praying to the almighty to let the the soul rest in peace. Looking into the practical situation of school day, work schedule etc., it wouldn’t have been possible for me otherwise to go and attend this ceremony. But now, with this travel planned, it seemed possible for me to attend her 11th day rituals.

 

My heart filled with gratitude for my Guru. From a point when I was unsure about being able to go for Guruji’s event, it now turned into a trip that gave me the opportunity to fulfill not one but three important activities – attend Muthi Amma’s 11th day rituals, attend Brahmarishi title and attend my work meeting. Such is the power of Guru Mohanji! Everything happened so normally that it didnt seem like any miracle. But indeed the way in which the situation was shaping up, and the smooth flow, only my heart knew, it was the grace of my Guru, no less than a miracle! Finally the day came. After attending the ceremony for Muthi Amma, I reached Bangalore to join the Mohanji family (who had travelled from across the world) and travel together to Kurnool.

brahmarishi-title-ceremony-function-subhasree-mohanji-blog-2

I had the first ever opportunity to put my steps in the holy ashram of Guruji Avadhoota Nadananda, in his Siddhaganj ashram. An extremely powerful Shakti siddha pitha (a place enriched with power of Shakti). It is impossible for a common man to enter there. Guruji told us when we first met, “Only with the grace of Guru Mandala, people who are called for, step into this premise”. This was indeed overwhelming. The shaktipath (chants), the pious and enriched environment was also completely flooded with compassion with selfless love and caring. Not only from Guruji but also from the ashram inmates who were serving us as if we are Devatas (divine beings)!

The next day will be a new birth for our beloved Guru Mohanji. His parents and family were also present. This was not just a title ceremony. It would be a ceremony of transfer of spiritual power from a siddha Avadhoota to Mohanji with the grace and command of the entire Guru Mandala! To be present in that ceremony is not just to be a mere witness the function. It’s also being soaked into the divine energy and complete purification of every single person who were present in Siddhaganj! Guruji announced that before the next morning’s ritual, there would be an extraordinarily special ritual for Guru Mandala puja that night. This is to invite the entire Guru mandala to descend down to Siddhaganj and grace the pious occasion. With the eagerness in mind, i sat in the puja hall thanking Mohanji in my heart for having been given this opportunity to experience all this.

Suddenly, a message comes from London. A friend of mine has been in critical condition after brain strokes admitted to hospital. A young person, barely 40 yrs old with a very young family! Lightening struck. Sitting at that powerful Gurumandala puja, only prayer coming out of heart, “Oh lord, oh Guruji, please protect him and his family”. The assurance was felt during the puja itself. Mantras coming out of Guruji Nandanandaji, the rituals performed by Mohanji with great sincerity and devotion, it didn’t seem any less than a maha yajna happening in the heaven itself. The power in the room was immense, the presence of Guru mandala and divine power was evident. The presence of divine energy was clearly felt by everyone who were present in that puja at that time. To be present in that moment, in that environment is definitely a reward from good karma that I must have done in previous lives! Heart never stopped thanking Mohanji silently, for making me eligible to take part. I will remain obliged forever!

After being soaked in powerful ceremonies for two days, I witnessed and felt the unconditional love & divine power. I was completely speechless not only to feel Mohanji’s power but also drenched in the simplicity, powerful yet loving and caring “Guruji” – Avadhoota Nadanandaji. Coming in the direct presence and interaction of Gurus of such high stature! This was beyond my expectation and imagination. Their achievements are much above my naïve intellect and knowledge about spirituality. I had not read much about Guruji before I met him, but no literature or bookish knowledge could have given the experience that I experienced in these two days in Siddhaganj.

Before leaving from Kurnool, I got a brief chance to talk to Mohanji and Guruji about my friend’s condition. Just in few words though, amazing assurance came from both. With complete faith on my Guru and the Guru mandala, I returned to my work place and then back to London. The prasad for my friend who was struggling for life in the top neurology hospital in London, was Guru’s blessing, assuring message and my prayers. From a stage of almost impossible to recover (top neuro surgeons of London were not even able to assure anything at all), eventually my friend recovered and was back home absolutely normal, talking, walking, memory intact, in just 4 to 5 weeks. A lot of prayers from all his nears and dears had definitely worked. However, I was completely assured how my guru Mohanji and Guruji Nadanandji and the entire Guru Parampara came to his protection!

Another important message was delivered to me, to be compassionate and selflessly love the world. “Keep doing your best for the world. I shall always be there for you. When you think, I shall listen. Just keep your faith against all odds and stay connected.” This meant a lot. The connection with Guru parampara was clear, the power of the guru parampara was crystal clear. Deep gratitude Mohanji!

Mohanji has been the father, protecting.

Mohanji has been the mother, showering unconditional love and compassion.

He has been a friend, spreading joy.

He has been the Guru to guide the right path every time, each time.

He is present in the consciousness all the time. Not just personal life, but even my work life has been enhanced so much with his presence. Even when I have to work long hours continuously for many days, no sign of stress comes near. With the chanting of his Gayatri Mantra, amazing strength, positivity and confidence appears. No matter how hard the situation is, it turns out in my favour. Many instances in work life that have slowly unfolded this power behind the peaceful and stress-free successes! I am sure, I am not alone with this experience. Most of the people who have been connected to Mohanji would have surely felt this amazing powerhouse behind the everyday life.

An offer of Sadhya with love

Another incident I would also like to share. This reminds me of the story of Shabari from the Ramayana epic, who fed Lord Rama with utmost love and affection.

Well, it was Onam, a festival of Kerala, when a traditional Kerala feast (called Sadhya) is prepared. As usual, I prepared sadhya for my friends and I offered naivedya in front of my Guru’s photo and a wish came spontaneously – Will Mohanji ever come to my house? Can I prepare and offer sadhya to him? May be in 2017, if he comes to London! Then during the meeting in Kurnool, I realised that Mohanji’s trip to London in 2017 is not confirmed yet. Felt sad. Heart cried, “Will I never be able to invite him to my home and offer him sadhya?” Then assurance came–“leave everything to him. He knows!”

The sadhya - Subhasree Mohanji blog 2.jpg

Around a week’s time after returning from Kurnool, I heard a pleasantly surprising news – Mohanji may be in London in Dec! For a very short time though. I couldn’t believe my ears. The dying flame lit up. May be he will come to my home! Tried to keep my faith intact. The day of his arrival was nearing. His trip to London was really short, just for 48 hours! But Vijay bhai confirmed, Mohanji will indeed come to my place one evening and I can prepare the sadhya! I was on top of the world. Finally the day came. My rheumatoid arthritis pain was in flared up mode, so much that I wasn’t able to even hold a knife. But who cares, Sadhya had to be cooked and indeed it was. God and Guru not only listen to the devotee’s yearning but also facilitate everything to ensure that it gets smoothly done! As per the schedule, Mohanji arrived and we had an excellent satsang that lasted for more than 1 hour. Mohanji was in a very jovial mood, cracking jokes, teasing someone. Everyone who was present wouldn’t stop laughing. Mohanji’s face was glowing and shining with laughter.

We were experiencing Krishna!

Amazing side of Mohanji, we all witnessed that evening. Finally, he came on the dining table. I was nervous and shaky . Will he eat at all or just do a taste? Will he like the sadhya?Well, my fear and nervousness was diminished soon when Mohanji, like a true Malayalee, started enjoying the sadya and even took more servings! He complimented many times – “Food is delicious. Reminded me my childhood”. He ate. He ate well. That was a wonderful moment for me filled with joy and satisfaction. I felt exactly like Shabari. My desire was completely accomplished.

After dinner, the satsang continued again with an even more cheerful mood. The entire atmosphere was so joyful. No one wanted the satsang to end. But he had to fly back to India the next morning. So we had to wind up. When he left my home, he made sure that I was satisfied. It was not only the fact that he liked and enjoyed the sadhya well but also that he completely drenched us with joy. He gave me much more that what I had wish for. My heart expanded for my Guru had given me so much love. What have I done to deserve so much? Head bowed, heart filled with gratitude and love.

This was the last event of 2016 and those were definitely the best moments with my Guruji. And most importantly, it taught me that with complete surrender to Guru, your wishes will be fulfilled. Mohanji left, but the aura, the joy and the positive vibrations stayed and will stay for ever! How can I thank you enough Guruji for filling my home with so much positivity, joy and love? As each day passing, the stream is indeed getting wider and deeper. 2016 has been an amazing year with many experiences and wonderful meetings with my Guru and I have treasured each of them in my heart.

Mohanji! Gratitude for giving me this opportunity and being in my life. At this point my heart sings these lines…

“hamen raston ki jaroorat nahin hai, hamen tere pairon ki nishan mil gaye hai”

(I don’t need any path anymore, I have found your foot prints to follow!)

Surrendering at your feet my Guruji. Jai Mohanji!

An Invitation to India – Part I

martin-simonovski

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By Martin Simonovski

Sunday night! After one hell-of-a-week, I decided to try to fall asleep. The whole week was full of fears, fury, anger, hatred and similar emotions. After the failed attempt to fall asleep, I decided to turn on the mobile phone and see how “life” was going on the social networks.

The first thing that I saw were the missed call and the message on Whatsapp “Martin, are you there? This is Mohanji”. “Yes Baba

“Martin, I can now feel you are very connected to me. Do you want to start working with me on a global scale?” I was shocked! Even now while writing this blog, I still can’t believe I got that suggestion. Yet, that was not all. “Yes Baba, of course!”

After he told me that he will give my contact information to his assistant, we talked about the local challenges that Mohanji Macedonia was facing at that time. I was immediately relieved when I heard him saying that everything was going to be alright. He said that he will personally take care of the challenges and create a better environment. That was not the end of the conversation.

“Martin, why don’t you come to India to work together and do something very big?” At that point, I really had no idea who I was or where I was. After several seconds of silence, I answered him saying that I was not sure if can provide the money for the airplane ticket and for the stay in India. “You just come here and don’t worry about the rest” were the words which concluded the subject.

Mohanji and Martin Simonovski2.jpg

When I asked my colleagues what they thought about the idea their words were “We have to find money to get him to India. A blessing like this must not be rejected”. They were witnesses to what had Mohanji done for me until then, let alone what he has done for me until now to this moment, while I am writing this blog. However, we will talk about the experiences from 26 May 2016 in another blog, or perhaps in a small book.

My family immediately learned that Mohanji invited me to go to him in India. I don’t know why but I got a feeling that they were not surprised by this at all, and today after 2 months when I am back at home I am convinced that they were not surprised at all by the invitation. When I mentioned that I will need money for the airplane ticket their answer was “We will provide you with a ticket!” At that time I wasn’t sure if this was just a dream or Mohanji Baba had intervened. Today I am sure it was the later. J 100% sure!

Immediately after the conversation with my parents, I sent a message to Mohanji Baba informing him that I have started with planning and providing money for the trip to India. He replied that I should not push (force) myself too much. He also told me that we will travel together all the time. That was the peak (culmination).

The same day, I went for a walk with my friend Vladimir and we talked about the procedure for getting a visa to India. Vladimir had already been to India twice and he knows the whole procedure to the smallest details. I have to mention that Vladimir helped me with the visa documents and the trip to Sofia. Vladimir completed all the work for me related to the visa and the trip to Sofia by filling all the documents and providing me with a ride to the Indian embassy in Bulgaria. Vladimir, if you read this blog, please know that I love you and respect you very much and I am limitlessly thankful for your selfless help which allowed me to get to my Master. Also, thank you for preparing me spiritually for the great meeting.

I had less than a week to prepare for the embassy interview and the preparations didn’t go smoothly. The whole week was full of challenges that were followed by intense fears and doubts. In just a few days, Mohanji Baba managed to arrange large number of challenges for me that awoke many fears and doubts in me. I started wondering if I will ever get to India. These were all tests which strengthened my will even more to get to him and do something huge. In one of the conversations with my colleagues I heard a statement “Dude, this guy is really steeling you”. Yes, he was ruthlessly steeling me without giving a second thought. We both knew that I will go to India though with my limited intellectual mind I could not predict how the preparations to India would go. Only Mohanji knew that and nobody else. In any case I can assure you that the preparations were not at all easy.

Many times I was thinking about giving up and staying where I felt safest at that moment – in the golden comfort zone. However, Mohanji obviously had different plans for me. In fact, he had very different plans. In this and in the following posts, I will share all my experiences from India with the readers so they will learn who Mohanji Baba is and what values he introduced to my life. Many of his disciples have been witnesses to my transformation. In order to make at least some contributions to their development, I decided to share the experiences that I had with Mohanji in these posts. These posts will also serve as a reminder in case some day I fall under some negative influences and go against Mohanji Baba – the Avatar whom I owe all I have been so far, all I am at the moment and all I will be in the future. In all these posts, I will make sure to inform all the readers about what Mohanji Baba has done for me, so that the same readers remind me of the blessings I got in case I fall under some bad influences and start speaking bad about Mohanji Baba just like some other people have done – people whom Mohanji helped the most. Those who know me before my very first meeting with Mohanji know what I am talking about.

Thanks to my friend Vladimir, who managed to arrange the interviews with the Indian embassy for both of us to be on the same day so that we can share the expenses for the trip to Sofia. I finally learned that “I will be having the interview with the consul of the Republic of India” at 01.12.2016 at 11:00. Actually, it wasn’t me who had the interview with him but we will talk about that later. Soon after I managed to buy an airplane ticket and prepare the documents for the upcoming interview. I started preparing for it. The doubts and fears were becoming stronger and stronger. They insisted to change my mind by any means so that I will stay in Macedonia and continue enjoying the golden comfort zone that promised me the same monotony. The fight was not at all easy. As the time was going by the doubts and fears almost won the battle. While I am writing this text today, I finally realize what Mohanji Baba meant when he said “You know that I am a lot more powerful than your fears!” I know, Baba!

The day for the interview came. The night before the interview we arrived at the Riste’s ashram in Shtip, where I had my first retreat with Baba. Riste, thank you for your great help that allowed me to get to Baba. I deeply believe that you will get what Mohanji Baba told you about your visit to India. The morning of 1 December, we left to Sofia. When the border clerks heard my response to the reason for the trip to India, they were dazed. However, they let us enter Bulgaria. Taking into consideration the Balkan-orthodox schemas of thinking, I was not surprised at all. Among the Balkan people currently I am considered as a “crazy sect representative” who is desecrating the religion and will burn in hell. Fast and steady the religions are losing the domination on the planet earth and their methods for spreading fear and guilt will be replaced by love and freedom.

We continued with our trip to Sofia but we had hard time locating the Indian embassy. After several minutes of wandering, I got the feeling that I knew the way to the embassy. With great confidence, I told Riste to turn the vehicle right and go straight ahead on that street. Everyone else thought there not even a theoretical chance that the embassy would be that way. I am not sure how I convinced Riste to turn right but soon after he did, we saw the Indian embassy on the left side of the street. Jokingly and with great happiness I asked my companions “Do you now understand now how Mohanji Baba works!?”

After we completed the procedure at the check desk, I was called for a talk with the consul. Actually it was Mohanji Baba who was called for a talk, not Martin Simonovski. During that conversation, my energy levels were significantly higher than usual and I could see things about the consul that I thought, until then, existed only in the spiritual theory. I will speak on this subject more thoroughly in another blog because I am still at the very beginning of my spiritual growth and I don’t have these spiritual abilities constantly.

While we traveled back to Shtip, we enjoyed the beautiful energy and the talks about the great masters that left their mark on this planet. There are no words to describe the energy that gathers when we connect to beings of that type. Indescribable. The energy continued to follow us in the dreams too but we will talk on this subject on another occasion. The morning while we waited for a bus to Skopje, Macedonian police officers asked me if I was released for the weekend from a nearby penitentiary, a subject that was tightly related to what we had discussed the previous night. A few days (hours) later, I got the same question one again.

i-love-mohanji-martin-blog

After two days, I finally got back to Skopje. The fears and doubts still continued and intensified even more. I thought that the weekend right before I fly to India will be more peaceful. To the contrary, it was getting harder and harder. Guided by the instructions of Mohanji Baba to observe without judging, I somehow managed to cope with the fears. “The Monday” came – the flight day. I arrived at the Skopje Airport at 11:00 and was informed that the flight to Dubai will be delayed for three and a half hours. You can easily guess who was behind this. There was a good reason for it. When the time came, I finally got on the airplane to Dubai and I was relieved thinking that this was the end of the challenges and that from now on the “easy” part comes. No more challenges!

I couldn’t have been more wrong…

True Power Lies in Humility

Mohana Hanumatananda

I’d like to share an experience that had a great impact on my being. It happened two weeks ago after our Power of Purity” group meditation in Skopje, Macedonia. Each time after the meditation we play a song and bask in gratefulness to our Master and the Tradition for the Grace. While the song was playing, I found myself inwardly with my head next to Mohanji’s Feet. I have never felt this way before because of my western mind. My mind did not understand fully what bowing at the feet of a Master truly means. It was only a theoretical, intellectual knowing but not experiential. The feeling was beyond any words, and it was one of homecoming and great protection. Nothing could touch me besides my Master’s feet. They were my soul guardians.

h-u-m-i-l-i-t-y
“Just remember this relationship. Unity.”

 

All the hurt, pain and sorrow I accumulated from the passing period was simply vacuumed by Mohanji’s Feet and simply was eliminated in a split second… The whole event had no duration… it was beyond time and space… It just happened, and I came to know it. I never intended it, it was simply Grace descending upon my poor self …

Next day, when I told Mohanji about the experience, he told me it was not imagination. It was real, and that He merged me into His consciousness. He said, “Just remember this relationship. Unity.”

I knew it was not imagination. Mohanji always says that whenever we meet a Higher Master, how do we know the communion was real? If the meeting made a lasting transformation and a shift, then it was real…. If nothing shifted then it is infatuation.

Now I know for sure where my head’s place is – beside Mohanji’s feet. Nothing can touch me there. And I got a glimpse of highest humility and its effects. At that humble moment of my head (mind) merging into Mohanji’s feet, all my sorrows vanished and I felt truly powerful. It was power coming from my heart center – power that liberates myself and others.

Mohanji said, “I always do my job. All you need is faith and surrender.”
