How can it be put into words? It’s magic… like a great miracle. To witness it is such an incredible privilege. The power is increasing daily. Yes, every single day. Is it even possible for the people immersed in it to fully appreciate what is happening? I am so moved by what they are doing… what they are making come to be. Their evolution is growing exponentially. They are on an incredible roller coaster ride of evolution. To see them hang in there and make it happen is such an honor. I know that such rapid evolution is not always easy. Their entire physiology and psyche is birthing anew. Yet they hang in there and keep moving forward, forward, always forward.
To appreciate it, you must experience it. The closer the Sun, the hotter the heat, and the faster the growth. Few step up to that plate, but those that do are most blessed. Visitors of Mount Soma are so fortunate. Yet the people who live here and make it happen on a daily basis… well, what can I say? I salute you. Yes, it takes pressure to make a diamond. But to see it happening, to see you doing it… that is truly magnificent.
Deeply touched by your acknowledgement Brahmarshi! Although I only lived at the ashram for 6 weeks in the Bliss Course and there were times when I felt the evolution more as “Blitzed” because it was happening so rapidly, and yet feeling such a deep internal stability and joy at the same time. I have to say I was moved by the way all the ashram residents “worked” their own personal unfolding. Thank you for giving us this opportunity. I would highly encourage everyone to taste living at the ashram in the Bliss course on a truly dynamic, experiential level.
I came back yesterday afternoon and before the puja while sitting outside the temple a sign and a stand was lifted by a wind gust and nearly took me out ( a kind guest saw it heading towards me and stopped it), I broke a toe during the Rudrabishekem running to help Punditji (I think it was on Srungi’s base) and when I left the puja I hit my head on the iron hand railing. At 430 a.m. I saw a vision of loveliness named Joyanna in the hall in a long red dress who stopped me from using her room as a toilet. Either I am really klutzy or I am evolving.
Re-entering after a month it seems like a finely oiled smooth machine and sparkly bright in the midst of the most busy day I ever saw on the mountain. The ashram and the volunteers worked miracles in the past month. I was amazed at the calm while chaos swirled all around and I felt invincibility. Everything seemed so cohesive and clean at the VC, the Temple, the dining hall and when I finally walked into the ashram late last night, it was like something out of an alternate reality because I felt visually everything looked the same but felt as if I had beamed into an altered crispness and clarity. I don’t know how to explain it; honestly everything looked same down to the umbrella in the corner although a different plant was on the stand…it was a wall of brilliance. The akash became refined, lighter but deeper and solid.
I want to thank everyone for their hard work and unfaltering dedication. Today I have to lay down a bit (I don’t think I can hurt myself laying in bed, I think I am safe here?) tired and achey, but hope to be up and running soon.
I am here by and with the grace of the Guru. Jai Guru Dev. Jai Shiva Shankara.
Thank you to all the people on the mountain for making this happen.
Jai Guru Dev
I would also like to acknowledge, commend and thank everyone in the ashram for their unceasing dedication, working each day and long into the night to care for Mount Soma and the guests. I, too, notice exponential growth in each and every ashram person and volunteer from the community. There is a way that working out here in the so-called “real world “is easier, however, do I have the same satisfaction, sense of well-being and peace at the end of the day? No Way. Not even close.
You guys made it through the longest stretch of the year! Congratulations, I bow to you.
Also, my gratefulness to Brahmarshi for making it happen, keeping it going and providing the calm, clear sense of purpose at Mount Soma. Jai Guru Dev!
This past month has been non-stop “go” mode. During this time, something has shifted. There are changes on the surface I can name, but something much deeper has been shifting. It was made clear yesterday, as other people said. On perhaps our busiest day ever, with a smaller work force than usual, somehow the flow of the day seemed easy. We moved together as a team. We encountered obstacles. We didn’t know. We kept moving forward and the obstacles cleared. We began and ended the day laughing. I remember the theme of this Vedic year is Maha Victory. I call this day Victory Day.
Thank you everyone for allowing the sweetness within and between us to emerge. It is precious.
Thank you Brahmarshi for providing the structure that holds and pulls this all together.
Today is my one year, one month, and one day anniversary of moving to Mount Soma. I can’t get enough of this place. I am so blessed!
JAIIIIIIIIIIIII Shiva Shankara! 🙂
whenever i thought of the ashram people through the summer, i just knew it would consist of a finely tuned endeavor….working, working towards accomplishing what to the outsider would seem to be the impossible. and from these comments, you have done it once again. i love the sweetness witnessed in the “testimonies” as well. i so love your sharing and conveying your experiences. You made my day! Thank you.
and Donna, I love what and how you write, describe…. so clear….i could feel and visualize the boing, boings from here. Your comment gave me a good tickle as well as joy. i am so glad for you that you are there in the ashram program for it is an evolutionary experience and a blessing beyond beyond!
the photo tells it all. magnificent!!
I have no reservations on the power of Mount Soma and the amazing potential to heal the planet that it possesses.I am also confident that there is no better place for me to move forward and deeper in this life time. I will get there. The good news for me is the fact “I know” the reason it exsist. The best news is the fact that I know that “reason” is the greatest gift one could ever wish for. Your influence travels west powerfully Bramarshi.
Thank You
