Jai Maa & Jai Guru Deva Sadasya's, 

Sadhya Arya and I wanted to share with you all the great fortune that we had being at the physical feet of our teacher at the Theosophical Society in Wheaton, Illinois.  Acharya Shunya ji was a keynote speaker and presented a lecture, an experiential workshop, and was part of a speaker panel where she shared a profound understanding of how dharma and the ever present Atma within can create unity and harmony in a fractured world.

Being at the feet of our teacher in person receiving her wisdom, shakti and grace was deeply transformational, as it always is.  Her abilities to intuitively know what to say to the audience members in front of her with conviction, humor and depth reaches the hearts and minds of those sitting in front of her in ways that break through illusions, settles the jiva/ego and brings the Atma to the forefront~sattvic energy was truly abundant during her speaking.

As we are all well aware, each and every time that we create space in our lives to listen to her words and receive her wisdom we are purified and better equipped to go forward with our dharma and swadharma householder lives.  As we pursue our noble duties and actions, Acharya Shunya ji reminds us that "the dharma imperative beings with you: dharma doesn't demand perfection.  It asks for presence.  Each moment that you chose inner alignment over reaction, truth over ease, offering over our ego-you become a bearer of balance in this fragmented world."  

As we are all embarking on this Karma Yoga journey together and embodying dharma and swdharma we are forces that are shaping worlds.  We bring THAT knowledge/jnanam of the Atma into each and every pursuit knowing that our whole full, total Self is soaring free with love, light, joy and unconditional love.  What a web of harmony that her teachings emanate into the collective consciousness all over the globe, JAI MAA & JAI GURU DEVA!  As we carry on this month after our auspicious Guru Purnima celebrations and honoring, we continue to bring inner readiness for dharma.  

Let's seize opportunities to be in person with our Guru when we can. Shall we gather a group of students to travel together in August to meet in person with our Guru at the Ram Dass Legacy Retreat in Boone, North Carolina where we can learn together in person in sacred sangha where Acharya Shunya ji will give discourses on Bhakti Yoga?!
