2016 07 19 Guru Purnima - Sri Ramakrishna

I did a past life regression recently in which I learned I was a young Indian woman devote of Sri Ramakrishna serving at the Kali Temple in Dakshineswar, and then later at Kalimath, a Kali/Lakshmi/Saraswati temple complex in northeastern India about 1/2 way between Rishikesh and Kedarnath.

Sri RamaKrishna is a mystic who lived at the Kali temple in Dakshineswar (across the river from Kolkata (Calcutta) around 1855.

What is so startling about this past-life regression experience is that the Call I received to go to India in 2012 was a picture of the KaliMat temple complex. I had a very powerful deja vu experience while there; I knew I had been there before but not when or why or how.

Also, when choosing a Yogananda Ashram to visit, while most people visit the most popular ashram at Ranchi, I was guided to go Dakshineswar. The Kali Temple was about a 20 to 30 minute walk from the ashram, and while visiting the temple I was allowed (as is all the public) to sit in Sri Ramakrishna's room for a while to meditate.

It's taken nearly four years for all this to "catch up" with me.

Here is an interesting story:
The Story of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa’s Enlightenment


To read the teachings of Sri Ramakrishna, you may download this Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) file. It's a large book of over 1,000 pages.
The Gospel of Sri Ramakrishna
By Mahendranath Gupta (“M”), His Disciple

2014 07 12 Guru Purnima

This year for Guru Purnima, I chose songs and satsangs for the three gurus whose ashrams I visited in 2012, Haidakhan Babaji, Paramahansa Yogananda, and Sathya Sai Baba. EnJOY!


Guru Purnima
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guru_Purnima
(IAST: Guru Pūrṇimā, sanskrit: गुरु पूर्णिमा) is a Hindu festival dedicated to spiritual and academic teachers. This festival traditionally celebrated by Hindus and Buddhists, to thank their teachers. It is marked by ritualistic respect to the Guru, Guru Puja. The Guru Principle is a thousand times more active on the day of Gurupournima than on any other day. The word Guru is derived from two words, 'Gu' and 'Ru'. The Sanskrit root "Gu" means darkness or ignorance. "Ru" denotes the remover of that darkness. Therefore one who removes darkness of our ignorance is a Guru. Gurus are believed by many to be the most necessary part of lives. On this day, disciples offer puja (worship) or pay respect to their Guru (Spiritual Guide). It falls on the day of full moon, Purnima, in the month of Ashadh (June-July) of the Shaka Samvat, Indian national calendar and Hindu calendar.
