Dear reader,

Namaste.

“The month of Gurupurnima, a life of gratitude”—this was the refrain Swami Ishwarananda gave in his talk during the Siddha Yoga Satsang in Honor of Gurupurnima Month, and it continues to resonate in the hearts of all the people who follow the Siddha Yoga path.

When we participated in the satsang for Gurupurnima month, we also acknowledged Bhagavan Nityananda’s lunar punyatithi, which took place earlier this month. Very soon, we will be commemorating Bhagavan Nityananda’s solar punyatithi on August 8, and Baba Muktananda’s Divya Diksha on August 15.

Bhagavan Nityananda’s Punyatithi

Many of you may recall “A Day in the Temple,” which was held on Thanksgiving 2020 in the Siddha Yoga Universal Hall. You will be pleased to know that the SYDA Foundation will be holding a similar celebration this year in honor of Bhagavan Nityananda’s Punyatithi.

The live video stream will be on Saturday, August 5—three days in advance of the holiday, so that it’s convenient for you to participate. It will begin at 6:00 a.m. and continue until 6:00 p.m. New York time. At any point during the day, you may visit the Siddha Yoga path website to receive Bade Baba’s darshan and to do the Siddha Yoga practices in the Temple.

Baba Muktananda’s Divya Diksha

On Saturday, August 12, we will once again have occasion to come together in the Universal Hall. There will be a Siddha Yoga satsang in honor of Baba Muktananda’s Divya Diksha. It will take place via live video stream from 7:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. New York time. In this satsang, we will chant Om Namah Shivaya, the diksha mantra, or initiation mantra, that Baba would impart to his devotees.

August: the gift of miracles, the gift of divine initiation. From one month to the next, the transformative power of Siddha Yoga satsang—of the Siddha Yoga path—is manifest.

With good wishes,

    My heart beats to the title of the satsang, “The Vibration of the Mantra.” Whenever I wake up in the middle of the night, unable to fall back asleep, I repeat the mantra Om Namah Shivaya over and over again until a gentle blanket of calm and repose fills my heart and I very easefully fall back to sleep. The vibration of the mantra also provides me with great relief against stress during my working day.

    We are so blessed to be part of these satsangs with our Siddha Yoga family, wherever we live and whatever is going on in our lives. For me, they have the warmth of gathering with family for a lovely meal, nurturing our spiritual path with their focus on the heart. Since I have been struggling with physical issues, this is a lovely reminder of the grace that is always present in my life.

    My heart fills with gratitude for the Guru’s love and compassion. In the Siddha Yoga meditation center that I attend, we will be celebrating Bade Baba’s Punyatithi on August 5 at 6:45 p.m. And this beautiful gift will give us the opportunity to first have darshan of Bade Baba in the Temple, to offer prayers, and to meditate, thus preparing ourselves completely to participate in the satsang with full awareness.
     
    I am very grateful to Gurumayi for this wonderful, grace-filled gift.

    My August calendar is filled with the live-stream dates and my locally corresponding timings. It seems like a special pilgrimage. I can feel the joy in my heart with a longing for each event.
