168- Where To Now Saint Francis?

      The Birthday of Krishna is celebrated according to the Indian Lunar calendar. It falls on the eighth day of the waning moon between mid-August and mid September.

     He who perceives Me everywhere, and beholds everything in Me, never loses sight of Me, nor do I ever lose sight of him.

     That yogi stays forever in Me, who, anchored in divine unity whatever his mode of existence, realizes Me as pervading all beings.

     O Arjuna, the best type of yogi is he who feels for others, whether in grief or pleasure, even as he feels for himself-- Bhagavan Krishna, in the "Bhagavad Gita"

Spiritual Diary- Self Realization Fellowship

     The Conclusion of Self Realization Fellowship, World Convocation in Los Angeles 2023 and the subsequent closing talk and Meditation by Brother Chidananda was inspiring and extremely moving. Do not be lost of this World and it's Maya. There is light and light bringing beings among you. Do not despair over the World situations that you have no control over. Control your Heart, Mind and Your Thoughts. Bring the Positive Light of Divine Love of Gurudev and his Promise of Freedom into your Life. There is a scientific method for achieving Enlightenment and it can be obtained through Kriya Yoga. Life does not have to be uncontrollable and overwhelming find your Peace and Your Tranquility. Do not go another day lost in the confusion that surrounds you in the delusion of everyday life. Be a smile millionaire and controller of your own thoughts and wellness.

95: Mastering The Art Of Inaction, In The Time Of the Invasion of Ukraine by Russia

Sri Yoganandaji described as follows the state of "inaction" mentioned in the Bhagavad Gita.

 "When a true yogi performs an action, karmically it is like writing on water. No mark remains."*

*ie., no karmic record is kept. Only a master is a free man- one unbound by karma (the inexorable cosmic law that holds unenlightened persons accountable for their thoughts and actions). In urging Arjuna to fight on the battlefield, Lord Krishna assured him that he would incur no karma if he acted as God's agent, without egoistic consciousness. Sayings of Paramahansa Yogananda

     You can move forward with lightening fast speed in your life by ascribing to God's will for you. Do not assert your will but rather perform what God's will for you is. How do you know? Listen in the quietest moments of your life to your inner voice. The voice that tells you in your silence which way to proceed. Ours has enlightened us to continue our teaching and rescuing. Instead of the Equine souls we once saved our mission is to raise and support humankind. We wish to use our limited platforms to the fullest extent of their possibilities in the hopes that they will grow exponentially in magnitude. Having been listeners since the beginning of Covid-19 and captives as well, we are finally at the point like Howard Beale in the movie Network, where this is the start of my rant and we are not going to take it. Silence is no longer a snowflake falling in one of my poems. We are writing on the water our displeasure and disillusionment and sitting back to watch the Karma of the world snap back with its own response in the Americas. Beginning with these new blogs our mission is now set in motion. We are willing to watch the course it now takes.

The outrage of the invasion of Ukraine by Putin is beyond belief in these times. It is past time to stand up and to be heard and to speak your truth. Truth is our only weapon against such atrocities. Through all our collective wills coupled with Divine Will it is time to no longer be part of a silent majority. Be heard and speak your Discourse with great firmness and authority. Be one of those who will not have your will be bent or swayed by Tyrannical Rhetoric. See and Say what your Heart and Soul speaks to you.

Perhaps it is our time to lead our people out of bondage! Beware you who lead through Autocracy and Aristocratical Arrogance.!

Forty Three, Finding Everlasting Happiness; In The Time of The Coronavirus

      Lift your eyes and concentrate within. Behold the astral star of divine wisdom and let the wise thoughts in you follow that telescopic star to behold the Christ everywhere. In the land of everlasting Christmas, of festive omnipresent Christ Consciousness, you find Jesus, Krishna, the saints of all religions, the great guru-preceptors waiting to give you a divine floral reception of everlasting happiness. Paramahansa Yogannada Metaphysical Meditations

     The narrative has shifted can you feel it? It is in the air, in the ether, in the space formally occupied by the virus. It is called Everlasting Hope and it is alive and well among us and in us. It is a time of rebirth like the Christ Child within each of us. Do not have Fear any longer. Fear is no longer productive, positive thinking and positive affirmations are what we need to help us move forward out of the great darkness that we have been entrenched in. We are not yet out of the terrible times that have descended upon us, but we are standing in the light with our outstretched hands. We are no longer beggars in blackness but effervescent beings of light, hope, and prosperity. We are celebrating our survival and fortitude during the time of extreme crisis. We cannot be held down. We refuse to be defeated and with and attitude of cooperation and brotherly and sisterly love we will move out of the time of trial into the time of good fortune and prosperity that lies within our grasp. Reach for the Golden Ring and you will attain it. Do not be disillusioned by the news of today that will soon be tomorrows sad memories. Build faith where there is despair. We cannot and will not be held down. We are a Nation of survivors and achievers and together we can attain any goal that we set for our Citizens and Country. Now is the time for the heroes and heroines that have been toiling in obscurity and silence to step forward and be given the accolades they deserve. We as a people have always persevered and triumphed. Know that we will again!
