Hi Amanda,

Feet great… & top on the world !!!! LOL !

Did you experience this !!! Expand.

To me too.

May be it will be of interest to you..

I have my Guru who is very much learned & highly realised soul. An expert
Kundalini Yogi, Ayurvedic Doctor, Vastu specialist, a sanskrit scholor and a
very ordinary person. Our wave lengths are same. He is me & vice versa.
We work on equal wave lengths all the time. I respect him but never look up
to him to pray.. he too doesn't expect it.

>Now remember what Maharshiji said about karma. One spark of Jnana is enough

The statement I made is with reference to the Mass Mind and not a individual
mind. What you are referring to is the latter one.

>>>Is Mouna Vratha that silent type of teaching that
>>>Ramana Maharshi gave to a few of his students ?

>>Yes.

>Thanks for explaining that. :) I would have loved to have experienced
>Mouna Vratha. :)))

>I have never been in the presence of a great teacher... :((

Me either. You are yourself a Great teacher.

I think & reflect a lot ..

I have found a great friend in you.

With love,

Gopal
