Dear Divine Ma,
What Do You Want Me to Learn Today?
Tomorrow is Swamiji’s Discipleship Day. The day our link to Master took place. If Swamiji had not told Paramhansa Yogananda that he wanted to be his disciple 75 years ago today, Donald Walters never would have created Ananda Village. I never would have sent my stepson Jason to boarding school there. I never would have met Dhyana at the San Francisco Ananda House. I never would have learned Hong Sau in the Spine and Kriya. I never would have met Agni and become so enamored with Swamiji’s chants. I never would have learned the songs of Swamiji’s Oratorio. I never would have moved to the Monastic Training course from Haridas and Anandi. I never would have read the 170 or so books from this path. I never would have started writing in my journals. I never would have written my two (so far) books. I never would have started teaching How to Meditate. I never would have started teaching about all the deeper aspects of the path. I never would have met Lahari. Holy cow, I would have had an entirely different life than what I have had, and loved! How can I ever thank you enough, Swamiji?
