This is Acharya Shunya. I want to say that as I am catching up with the beautiful outpourings of awakening wisdom from all of you and my heart leaps with joy.
I am also appreciating meeting the new members of our online sangha! Thank you for stepping forward and introducing yourselves. You are welcome with warmth.
I encourage all members , old and new, to share about themselves, post their photos if you feel comfortable, so we know you more, what brings you here and what inspires you....know this: whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced seekers - there is place for you in this learning and growing community. Our humanity is precious and shall be deeply held as we journey to our inherent divinity. Our differences shall be respected, nerver judged.
I am posting a several year old photo here from the city of Ayodhya, my home town, on the banks of the River Sarayu: where a sangha with women, transpired, though initially shy of me, these women, began shining their souls and spoke from their hearts....on all matters divine. Then we did a simple ritual to thank Divine Mother incarnate as the River, and emerged from that sangha stronger, individually.
As I share this moment by the River Sarayu, I invite each of you to reflect on what sacred practices or rituals that bring you closer to the Divine Self in your daily life. It could also be a specific set of ideas or thoughts you turn to when you need guidance—or a mantra, a teaching from the Bhagavad Gita, or a personal insight from your own journey. Feel free to share your thoughts, stories, or even a simple ritual that has touched your heart. Let us continue to inspire one another as we journey together toward our highest truth. OM TAT SAT, Acharya Shunya
Thank you Acharya Shunya ji for sharing this lovely memory and picture with us - I can feel the joy and connection of the women on that sacred divine river 🙏🏼🌺🏞️
