I thought i would cross reference here a bit~ you see i have
a White Guru~ he now has a retreat center here in India. For my first 6 or 7
years with him we, as a sangha, were very much Internal.
Finally, he introduced
us to his guru's practice of the guru gita and we realized that we had to 'do
something' to HELP as this is guru bhava. In the guru gita, Shiva tells
Parvati, "Oh Wise one, much can be accomplished through these spiritual
practices. Focus your attention on service and working for the welfare of
people, instead of using your accrued shakti for self-centered worldly gain.
(translated by my guru Mark). So we set off to bring to the area villages the
bio-sand water filter and I got the opportunity to serve as the Education Video
Producer. I was so fortunate that the Bollywood Actor, Pankaj Mishra agreed to
direct the project. Jai Nityananda …
so that’s how I got started doing seva. When I
realized that I wanted to live in Ganeshpuri, I decided based on my personal
contact with an amazing sadhu I called ‘samadhi baba’ … that I would begin to
help the True Sadhus …for now it has shifted into seeing the real need for the
Elder Homeless to have a second meal of the day …
And why this video is important? I will let you tell me. I hope it inspires to reach out to those near you who are in need.
… truly I am blessed to be living at the feet of Bade Baba … however much longer he allows, I will honor him ~
