Whispers From the Eternal - a special Bhakti transmission from Acharya Shunya
Jai Maa and Jai Guru Deva!
Today is the 1237th Birth Anniversary (Jayanti) of our lineage elder Adi Shankaracharya. In our Advaita Vedanta lineage, we celebrate this occasion not only by studying his teachings, but also by going within and connecting to the Self - that singular Truth that this great teacher dedicated his life to knowing and sharing.
On this special day, our teacher Acharya Shunya was inspired to begin a sacred offering - a new podcast entitled 'Whispers From the Eternal'. While the 'Shadow to Self' podcast focuses on our lived experience of navigating the journey from samsaara to Self, 'Whispers From the Eternal' is dedicated to Bhakti Yoga - cultivating our inner devotion to that One Divine Consciousness. This is an invitation to come home to that Ishwara Self - not only with your mind, but with your whole heart.
These teachings will be short and potent - around 15 minutes max in length. I will be making a gentle regular practice of tuning in to these sacred opportunities to connect to Divine Mother, and I invite you to do the same. Sit, listen, feel, and connect.
These podcasts will come out on Thursdays (Pacific Time), and I will share them here for community members. You can also find them on Acharya Shunya's YouTube channel.
In Sacred Surrender to that Eternal Truth,
Sadhvi Aparna
Standing on the threshold of remembrance, I am caused to wonder what merits through lifetimes of seeking have brought to my door this Divine nectar of knowledge?
From where comes this privilege, this blessing of having our beloved Guradevi in my life?
But no, let me set aside these childish questions, let me carry in my heart an ocean of appreciation and ride its waves to the shores of remembering.
Let us meditate on and treasure every word of this
divine whisper.
Jai Maa, Jai Gurudevi ❤️
