Receiving darshan from guruji.... the long awaited film AWAKE arrives in Fairfield Iowa....

Namaste friends... the last three days,  beginning with the purnima (full moon) on Thursday, November 6 through Saturday, November 8th.... have been highly auspicious for me.  The long awaited film AWAKE about my guruji Paramahansa Yogananda 's life arrived in Fairfield Iowa for a showing at the recently renovated antique Orpheum theatre.  I found out about this showing from the film's producers listserv that I am on at 3 PM on November 6th,  and was delighted that I could manage to make it down to Fairfield for the first showing of the film at 7:30 PM Friday November 7th.  It seemed that master himself had made these arrangements for me,  because I was giving up on being able to see the film on the big screen since I had missed the opportunity to see it in Los Angeles in mid October when I couldn't make it out there for a business trip due to a bad cold.  Then,  the nearest place the film was showing was a four hour drive one way to Kansas City,  and I just wasn't up for that this weekend since I didn't want to miss our annual homegrown Iowa potluck at the Unitarian Universalist  Fellowship of Ames (UUFA  or just "UU")  as I am scheduled to bring a fresh kale and swiss chard salad today.  So,  guruji seemed to have arranged that I could be there,  and be there I was,  right in the middle of the front row of the theatre!!  And guru must know how much I love Fairfield and Maharishi Vedic City,  so I was delighted I could view the film there surrounded by like minded people resonating at high spiritual frequencies. 

All I can say now is I definitely received darshan from guruji.... what an incredible blessing,  and I am sharing my experience with all of you.   May you all have a wonderful day,  and OM blessings..

Ganapati.... has come... Saturday November 1... All Saints Day.... 200 days... until 5-15-15...

This morning in meditation it came to me why Ganapati is coming now... the white mouse appeared as a decadent white chocolate this last Sunday as a gift from friends facing the end of their lives from cancer.  .. and represents kama... desires... even addiction to  the pleasures of the material world. As the true son of Bholonath, Lord Ganesha has come at this most auspicious time as I begin my last 200 days as a professor in this incarnation... Ganapati  came on Saturday November 1 through Dr Ram Sharma of Meerut India,  my long time collaborator,  and the great guru Paramahansa Nityananda of Ganeshpuri of Maharastra who has recently been appearing to Dr Ram.  Maharastra is  renowned for devotion to Lord Ganesha throughout Bharat (India).  Ganapati came 200 days before my most auspicious retirement date of 5/15/15..51515...reads the same both forwards and backwards...jai Ganesha... He has come in his mouse driven vehicle to take me to his Father the Great Yogi..
Bom Bom Bhole... Om Namah Shivaye
