The Fire Mountain Retreat Center blends the best of old and new India. Located in the village of Nimboli, India, adjacent to Bhagavan Nityananda's mahasamadhi temple. The ashram-style setting combines ancient sacred practices with 21st century convenience. Fire Mountain's jewel, the geodesic dome. The Sacred Spot of Nimboli | Ganeshpuri, has an ancient tradition of spiritual masters and devotees infusing the land with their love. The blissful radiance of this area makes a Spiritual Retreat Palpable, even believable for some who might not readily tap into this kind of energy ~ India is Certainly Big Love

Some of my Profile Thoughts on Facebook ~
Through yoga, the sannyasin constantly experiences the blissful self.The only alms he longs for is bliss.Even deep in a cemetery, he lives as if in a pleasure-garden.Aloneness is his only abode. He tirelessly strives for the light.His movement is into no-mind. His body is clean and pure.Non-dependence is his refuge. His activities are like a playing, dancing river.
It is up to you to make whatsoever you want out of your life. An enlightened consciousness makes even death beautiful. An unenlightened consciousness makes even life ugly. For an enlightened consciousness, only beauty exists -- only beauty; only bliss exists -- only bliss. OSHO
and this one is my definitive rendering out of ALL the 365 TAKES of my HAMLET 365 Project on YouTube ... (this is for all my 'new' friends) ~

I am a man who took on hiv/aids in 1996. I took on a guru in 2001, Mark Griffin, of Hard Light Center of Awakening, http://www.hardlight.org, which also included the power of his guru lineage, Swami Muktanada and Bagwan Nityananda. With the power of this pranayama, yogic science... i have gained the inner strength to call out to God for my healing naturally. My mission here is to bring awareness to the fact that you CAN heal through Ayurveda, a 5000 year old vedic tradition ...

This TAKE really began to free up on the word 'Bodkin' ... you'll notice the richness of my voice freeing from the otherwise static delivery. I've done so many things in this process to 'play', 'experiment', to bring the text forward from an honest place. I've failed miserably in places and I have achieved some very special moments as well. What I will take from this 2 years that I have put myself out on the line like this, really doing something no one in their 'right mind' would contemplate... is the feeling of Joy. The Joy of having the desire to create and actually making the commitment AND following through, bringing many wonderful surprises to my life, including the ability now to edit video. There are only 16 more TAKES left for me to do and then I will seal this channel and move on to another, or simply allow the universe to do its work to bring me the celebrity that I know is coming. Why do I want celebrity? Because I wasn't talented enough to make Broadway with my efforts... and I want you to buy a ticket to see me sing on Broadway. Thats the 'Big' Dream... that continues.... 'Dreams are Made of Action' ... What will you take from having watched me challenge myself with this project? I hope it will inspire you to Risk more than others think is safe, Care more than others think is wise. Dream more than others think is practical. Expect more than others think is possible. Show me some love baby ... www.imdb.com HAMLET 365 Shaktim ps soon I will be sharing morehttp://wn.com/Nicole_Kidman_It%27s_a_joy!

Shaktim's Indian Birthday !!!
The Metaphor of India
What I have discovered since that time is that in fact, everytime I step foot on India's soil, something profound happens for me. I can see the vibrations in the air... everything seems heavier and yet lighter at the same time. It is a strange observation, but one that I am fascinated at. It makes me find pleasure in sitting on the side of the road with the villagers... staring into the distance for hours. Signed, a lover of India ... शक्तिमानान्दा
