Thank You Master so Very Grateful and feeling so very Blessed for the time we have spent together in form. Woke this morning packed, refreshed and ready to come to You with and without form and Praise You in song. Jai Guru! Thank You Master what an amazing Gift to be given the Gift and Blessing of Raksha Bandhan on the day of beginning to travel back to America. Jai Guru! Thank You Master arrived to the airport safely. 3.5 hour drive and was meditating Mantra the entire ride. It went by very fast. Sitting outside and ready to begin next segment of the journey. With Grateful Praise. Jai Guru!

Good Morning Master Ready to come to You in Praise. Refreshed from nice bath. Thank You fro finding the Egyptian Sandalwood this morning. Jai Guru! Thank You Master fro clearing the doubt about the pull from the shiny Gold, surrounded in the store a pull was yet again felt today, a desire arose to posses this Gold. And then You swallowed it in the Silent Still Presence, Peace, OM SHANTI, SHANTI, SHANTI, OM. Jai Guru! Thank You Master tonight You confirmed indeed Selfless Self projected a clearing of the doubt that I would stop at the glittery gold. Everything is complete. Jai Guru! Closing out this Beautiful Day with Gratitude, Praise and Love. Jai Sadguru!

Good Morning Master Thank You fro this Beautiful Day. Showered, refreshed and ready to Sing Praises. Jai Guru! Withdraw the breast of attention from mind, ego, intellect. No longer may they nurse from You. Jai Guru! Thank You Master for the Beautiful recognition in the projection and the speaking with Self through Paulo and John. Jai Guru! Closing out this day with Love, Praise, Gratitude. Jai Sadguru!

Thank You Master slept very little last night and was waking very groggy, the cold bath was exactly what was needed to snap me to freshness, Thank You. Ready to come to You in song and praise. Jai Guru! Got 7 bags of Chai for co-workers and friends, plus the sweets Maharaj gave, Joan’s Sari and Rebecca’s earrings packed. You reminded me only three days left in India with Maharaj. Making every moment count. Paulo got links to YouTube and will try and place in share when back in America. Speaking with my Self as Paulo was very enlightening as we had both shared experience of planning to come in December but breaking up with girl friends changed our plans. Very strong Presence in sharing same experience with different bodies and the recognition of this. Jai Guru! Please use me Master to be helpful and of Maximum Service to You before I depart. Jai Guru! Thank You Master for closing out this beautiful day, took many pictures of Paulo and Roman with Maharaj, never once thinking of “me” to be included or the efforts, Selfless Self Service to Selfless Self. Jai Sadguru!

Good Morning Master woke this morning slightly dazed, however after shower feeling refreshed and ready to come to You in Song and Praise. Jai Guru! My Master is Ultimate, the Greatest. You gave confirmation today that Conviction and Absorption, that Spirit is Living this Life, Be Enlightened and Make others Enlightened, Be Realized and help others to Realize. Jai Guru! Telling your story because You are Living the Knowledge, Spontaneous, Anonymous, Unidentified, Identity, That You Are! Jai Guru! One new friend has visited the Ashram to clear the doubts that may be obscuring Truth with Maharaj, Master Please show me how I may be helpful. Jai Sadguru!

Good Morning Master woke this morning and again no water, No Complaints and Thank You! Thank You for allowing me enough Hot Water to run in order to wash my hair. Relaxing and waiting to sing Praises to Your Divinity Within. Thank You Master for allowing me to be helpful to Paulo this morning, shopping, advice on the fan and general chatting. Closing out a Beautiful Day Thank You Master. So looking forward to tomorrow and celebrating with fellow Devotee’s the Birthday of Shri Siddharameshwar Maharaj.

Thank You Master woke this morning refreshed and ready to sing and dance Praises to the Divinity Shining Within. Last night had a dream about what is past illusion, instead of making sense it was Unicorns and Rainbows. Mantra is continuing as Master said throughout sleep and seems to be sorting through and erasing illusory memories now even in dream and sleep state. Jai Guru! Thank You Master Morning Kakad Arati and speaking after, identifying the Newness of bowing to the recognition and formless nature of the Maters as my Self. Lunch was super awesome, sitting quietly smiling. Jai Guru! Closing out a beautiful day, met a new devotee Paulo from Italy, please show me how I may be helpful. Speaking with You in the form of Sri Ramakant Maharaj yet without form was a Divine Blessing. Thank You. Jai Sadguru!

Thank You Master woke up this morning refreshed and ready to come to You in song and praise. Thank You Master for allowing me to give something to ease the suffering of that family. It is as You said Master the scab is peeling to new skin. Confirmation that the scar is being removed by Divine Grace, erasing the past completely! Jai Guru! Thank You Master for a beautiful closing to this day. Jai Guru!

Thank You God woke up this morning and for the first time since being sick was able to have a solid bathroom experience. Water is not working so had to fill a bucket with scalding hot water and wait for it to cool to try and bathe, Mantraed through the experience. Last night Maharaj stated that the city was being locked down due to a terrorist threat, he has arranged a private car to take me out of the city and to the airport on the 29th. Both of these would have caused a lot of frustration and fear, however now are just seen as tests of the knowledge of Ultimate Reality. When Mantraed through as such seems Master is turning up the “heat” so to speak to test the forgive and forget, patience, tolerance, desire to know, Faith in the Master all to remain Calm and Quiet and stabilize more in the Realization.

OK, God complaining just a little in this moment, forgive me. Whatever is happening I surrender completely to You Master. Surges of negative energies that seem to be engulfed in deeper silence and deeper Peace. Really intense and hard to place in words, Negative is not just seen as passing but rather engulfed, swallowed in Peace, Bliss, Silence. Rather like a turn around of instead of the wave experiencing the ocean, it is only the ocean momentarily experiencing itself as a wave.

Back again just broke down letting more frustration out, screaming inside! LUNCH INSANELY SPICY AGAIN! MORE VEGETABLES IN LUNCH THAT BUGS BUNNY COULD TAKE, BHAJANED OUT 7 HOURS! 7 HOURS OF SINGING AND DANCING. BREAKING DOWN SCREAMING INSIDE! TODAY HAS BEEN A DAY OF HELL AND TORTURE! FROM THE SCALDING BATH, SO FAR 4 HOURS OF SINGING AND DANCING WITH MORE TONIGHT! SINGING PRAYING, DANCING IN AN ENDLESS CIRCLE! If I pull out and go to the Orange Tree Hotel it means the battle for my Self is lost.

Jai Guru! I spoke with Master about today’s feelings and experiences honestly. Thank You for the lessons, the Trust and the Final push, Giving Grateful Thanks Tonight. Jai Sadguru Sri Ramakant Maharaj Ki Jay!
