<br>with the money, sweat and labour of all those who selflessly gave by their willing hands.<br>And it didn't really matter at what distance or place this centre was situated from you, <br>although not physically present your spirit, being all pervasive, was subtly there for you.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">You also visited many of the countries where your devotees lived both in the east and west<br>giving darshan to all those old and new followers of the Siddha path you said was the best.<br>Initiating many people by either a look, word, thought, touch or even by your physical presence; <br>and all who received of your grace getting a real buzz, were invited to tell others of its essence.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">It was mostly at a certain two day program, held every one or two months, called an 'Intensive'<br>anyone could partake of the Siddha Yoga Initiation offered, at a price, which wasn't expensive.<br>This was also designed to enhance and recharge those who were already practising meditation<br>involving chanting, meditation and talk sessions including a lunchtime meal and brief relaxation.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">One had to participate fully, from about nine to five, over the two days, usually on a weekend<br>to get the full benefit of what the program had to offer and experience Guru's grace descend.<br>This was really the main date on the calendar for all those into meditation that were not to miss<br>if they had nothing better to do and wanted to get a lift in their 'sadhana' and acquire some bliss.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">It remotely seemed to be a bit of a fund raising venture with all the money seen changing hands<br>but to those who couldn't afford it, must of been painful missing out, one somehow understands.<br>There was also the question, which crossed one's mind, as to what was being bought and sold? <br>- a meditative experience the result of Nityanandaji's grace through Swami Muktananda's hold! </div><div style="margin:10px 0">Although no one was ever heard to complain about not getting their share of what was being given<br>and with the attitude of 'the more you put into something the more you'll get back' one was driven.<br>It also depended a lot on how much in tune you were and what prior preparation had been made; <br>how sincere you were in your effort also what devotion and faith at the feet of the Guru one laid.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">There were no restrictions, it appeared, to either old or young, male or female to begin meditation, <br>all could profit and benefit in one way or another in the process and practice of Self contemplation.<br>One had to have an open mind and heart to receive and partake surely of the Grace that was there; <br>that power of the True Living Master, which was so all pervading, being available for any to share.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">-------------------------</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=George+Krokos">George Krokos</a><div class=q>
