I received the following thought provoking comment to my last podcast:
Just some comments. In referring to your friend’s comment, “people are unable to believe the magnitude of the corruption on all levels” rings so true. I had that realization several years ago; albeit on a much lower level than what is being revealed these days. About twenty years ago you spoke of coming into an age where society would become rather chaotic. At the time, it seemed impossible. Impossible in that it was difficult to imagine what life would be like in twenty years and with our culture being run like a machine….and here we are. Fascinating to hear someone spoke of the man with orange hair around that same time. Who would have ever thought this so called “pandemic” would be the trigger that would begin to wake people up.
To which I respond:
Your thoughtful words compel me to reflect upon the past 20 years. I poured my heart out in an attempt to prepare people for what was coming–how to deal with it wisely. And now we find ourselves in the midst of The Great Transition. Yet in spite of my warnings, few are keeping their balance. So now I say again that we will come through these turbulent times into an era of calmer waters, peace, and prosperity. Admittedly as the storm rages, even the best of us find ourselves holding on tightly in hopes of making it through these violent rapids. Steady hand on the rudder!!
When the next podcast CORONAVIRUS: TAKING A STAND posts next week, you will be able to access it here.
It took a little while to explore the world of podcasting. Now we’re ready to start the podcast series, which was the whole purpose of podcasting in the first place. The series is called Ancient Secrets Revealed. We just finished recording episode 1 of the series. You can listen to it by clicking here.
We have now posted a number of podcasts. Over time we plan to add features like occasional video podcasts as well as call in shows. It has been a fun learning experience that we are sure will evolve and improve over time. You can tune in to any or all of the episodes by clicking the link below:
Though the podcast website is not finished yet, you can access the first few podcasts by clicking on the link below. The structure and nature of the shows will no doubt evolve over time. Enjoy!
Thinking that I will start a podcast, I have not been blogging lately in hopes the podcasts would start soon. I will keep you posted.
I was up until a bit past 4:00 a.m. last night watching Trump and Modi speak at the stadium packed with 120,000 people in Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The streets on the way to the stadium were lined with thousands of people. The whole event was very inspiring. I could not help feeling it marked a positive phase transition in global events.
Mahashivarathri at our temple was beautiful. It too somehow had the feeling of a positive global phase transition.
We are planning a number of upgrades here at Mt. Soma including the dining menu and regular hours for telephone answering. We are looking forward to warmer weather when families come to Mt. Soma, visit the temple, play outside, go for walks to Ganga Park, Hanuman, etc. It is very heartwarming. It makes me feel like a Vedic Walt Disney, offering Mt Soma for everyone to enjoy with their families!
Also, hoping this spring or summer to offer Advanced Techniques phase 2 via the Internet…
Jyotish was most challenging for several years now, but it appears to have turned the corner!
Hoping to be chatting with you via the podcast airwaves soon!
Dr. Michael Mamas started this school in August, 1994. So, we are celebrating the 25th anniversary at Mount Soma. We’ll be doing a special blessing for the school in commemoration of the anniversary at the Havan for Sarvadevatas on Thursday, August 8. Congratulations to Michaelji and everyone through all these years who has helped make this possible!
I spoke of this movie in the recent California class. It is a beautiful true story. Personally, I got choked up several times while viewing it. I am not sure if all people would react the same way I did, but I do believe it is a movie that you would like to watch.
At Mount Soma, in the past, we have seen rocket launches such as the below in the eastern sky:
“People across the mid-Atlantic may see a rocket fly through the sky on Saturday morning as it blasts off from Wallops Island, Virginia.
“An Antares rocket is set to launch from the Wallops Island Flight Facility at 7:37 a.m. EST Saturday, 11/11/17 in a mission to deliver supplies to the International Space Station (ISS).” – Accuweather
Mount Soma and Sri Somesvara Temple will be featured in a segment of North Carolina Weekend on UNC-TV. It airs at 9:00pm tonight, November 2, 2017. The segment is also available on YouTube – see below. Enjoy!
