A few days ago in meditation, I saw Baba! I saw him very clearly, walking in bright light. As he walked by, I saw his face. He was smiling in good cheer. When I came out of meditation, I said, "I saw Baba!" I was very happy.
I began practicing Siddha Yoga right after Baba left his body, and I had always longed to meet him. I had faith that Baba was within, but to see him in meditation was an answer to my prayer. Later I discovered it was Baba’s Lunar Birthday. I should have known. And now I’ve seen Baba again—in the video.
When it’s the Guru’s birthday, we are the ones who really get the gifts!

My heart has followed Gurumayi’s invitation: "Come."
When I went onto the Siddha Yoga path website and saw the wonderful video, I was so moved. Full of love and gratitude, I sang the Invocation Mantras, Muktanandaya Gurave.
Throughout the day, my heart continued to remain in close contact with the presence of the Guru. Baba Muktananda gave me the opportunity to sing his name, to rejoice in his presence, to live a truly special life. Baba gave me my Guru. The Guru’s compassion and generosity gave me a life full of miracles!
Thank you, Baba. Thank you, Gurumayi.

Happy Birthday, Baba.
As I was watching the video, the experience was love and gratitude for the opportunity I have had, and continue to have, to understand and practice the Siddha Yoga teachings.
Thank you, Baba, for this opportunity to live in a more conscious way.

I am astounded. I am drawn into stillness and bliss. My physical eyes fall shut. Awareness turns deep within, continuing the experience of darshan that the video began. Gurumayi’s powerful presence is with me. Baba’s laugh is so close. Bade Baba’s grace swirls all around and within.
Connected to the sangham, I pranam in gratitude.

Every time I sit down at my computer, the first thing I do is watch the short video clip on the occasion of Baba’s Lunar Birthday, and my heart instantly begins to overflow with deep love and gratitude—the fruits of performing puja. These feelings then flow into my offering of seva, and I want to give back in gratitude for the inconceivable inner wealth I’ve been given by following the Siddha Yoga path for the past forty years.
I thank you with all my heart, Bade Baba, Baba, and dearest Gurumayi.

Thank you for this Birthday gift! Baba’s laughter. Beloved Gurumayi happily welcoming us to the heart of nourishment—Bade Baba’s resplendent Temple.
I feel that I am inside the Temple. What fragrance! And also outside—what a fresh breeze! And then, I look at the amazing moving clouds and I think, "Yes, today and every day, Baba is my sheltering sky."

Very early in the morning on Baba’s Lunar Birthday, looking at the special video on the website, I felt I had been literally invited by Gurumayi to "Come, come" with her to the Temple to honor Baba. As soon as Gurumayi concluded the video with a festive Sadgurunath Maharaj Ki Jay, I answered back aloud, "Yes, I am coming!" I almost flew to the Siddha Yoga meditation center to chant Shri Guru Gita.
I love to chant Shri Guru Gita, and I especially enjoyed it on Baba’s Birthday, keeping my focus on the chant, thanking Baba, and once in a while taking a glimpse at his picture above the chair. All along, I felt Gurumayi and Bade Baba’s presence as well as Baba’s.
Today, I still feel much joy, and I want to thank Gurumayi for this special invitation.
Happy Birthday, Baba!

On Baba’s Birthday, I was on a business trip away from home. Although I had nowhere to celebrate with others—there is not a Siddha Yoga meditation center or chanting and meditation group in the city that I was visiting—I went to the Siddha Yoga path website. And when I played the video, I felt so much excitement and gratitude because I remembered that, thanks to Gurumayi, we can celebrate Baba’s Birthday from anywhere in the world through the Siddha Yoga path website.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for giving us the opportunity to receive darshan from you, from Baba, and from Bade Baba!
Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday, Baba!

Thank you for the most beautiful Baba’s Birthday video. It contains so many glorious gifts!
During my second viewing, I became absorbed in Gurumayi’s chanting of Om Namah Shivaya as I watched the visuals flow by. This experience gave me a new appreciation of the power of mantra japa. Being absorbed in the sound changed my vision. I enjoyed and appreciated the images in a deeper way, and simultaneously witnessed them in a more detached way.
I’m going to practice mantra japa with new understanding from now on.
Thank you Gurumayi! Happy Birthday Baba!

Opening the Siddha Yoga path website, I was invited to Shree Muktananda Ashram and Baba’s Birthday Celebration. In a split second I was there!
I felt such great love inside, and the world outside stopped. I was in a satsang with the Gurus! Listening to Baba’s laugh, I experienced my heart flying up to the sky.
What a great moment and a great honor. I will keep it in my heart forever. Thank you, Gurumayi and Baba, for the darshan and the Siddha Yoga path.

When I returned home from Baba’s Celebration Satsang at the Siddha Yoga meditation center this evening, I felt such joy. I felt so connected to my heart and so refreshed in my lifetime goal to attain supreme bliss, supreme happiness.
Once home, I decided to go straight to the Siddha Yoga path website. How sweet, how serene, and how tender it was to see Gurumayi gesturing so gently, so kindly, to come closer and closer. It resonated for me as, "Yes, come inside, closer. Closer to me, closer to God." It was such a perfect continuation of Baba’s Birthday Celebration, reminding me to be in my heart, to be with God, to stay connected within and celebrate from there.
Happy Birthday, Baba!

Exquisite darshan and visit to Shree Muktananda Ashram contained in so many layers of blissful moments, condensed into a three minute video!
Thank you for everything! All of it. Baba’s laugh, Bade Baba from daylight to darkness, and Gurumayi’s beautiful welcome to the heart and essence of the Guru’s love. All of it was communicated perfectly. Thank you.
