I look forward to listening to the latest karma session again. I experience this yajna teaching as so cleansing. Can anyone properly spell the phrase "Swaha edumanaha" for me?

Jai Maa Jai Guru Dev!

I am grateful for the abundance of teachings this week from our guru. Beginning with her profound workshop on Atman for the Theosophical Society my jiva felt welcomed to consider a broader Self and to release what l am not. Then listening and re-listening to this week's karma session on Yajna I felt a deep knowing that letting all my actions flow through me back to Ishvara is the natural order because there is no separation between Atman and Brahman/Ishvara.

Jai Maa dear Sadasyas,

After our little pause last month, I’m eagerly looking forward to gathering with the community once again—to dip into our shared wisdom and reflections.

Our next Samsara Surfers session is coming up this Saturday—and I can’t wait to be in circle with you again.

Whether you’ve been dancing with Dharma, tumbling through the tides of daily life, or simply floating and observing, there’s a place for you here.

Jai Maa and Jai Guru Deva,

Acharya Shunya's newest episode of the Whispers From the Eternal podcast is now uploaded! Today's episode is entitled "A Morning Prayer of Karma and Love". Acharya ji reflects on a daily mantra that begins her personal morning practice. The Narayana mantra she shares here will be familiar to many of us:

kāyena vācā manaseṃdriyairvā

budhyātmanā vā prakṛteḥ svabhāvāt .

karomi yadyat sakalaṃ parasmai

nārāyaṇāyeti samarpayāmi
