Under the full moon energy, we gathered… 🌕
In the serene field of Bodhi Vanam 🛖

where silence breathes ...
trees and birds dance together with
the fresh mountain stream ...⛰️🌊
We flowed like rivers of light,
melted into the arms of nature,
and let songs bloom from the depths of spirit. 🌿🦋🎸

Joyful to feel heart-songs of Kira returning after a year …
and the magic of Natasha bringing Dances of Universal Peace here 🤗

As Rumi whispered through us:
“In the house of lovers, the music never stops,
the walls are made of songs, and the floor dances…” 🕊

Gratitude for this sacred circle,
for each soul being light ✨
for this moon meeting 💖🙏

Mud and the Lotus

While life has been flowing great naturally with subtle energies (software, spirituality, healing…), working with gross matter has been the most challenging ..🌊

Through this project of building a eco space in remote jungle …🛖
From a high flying bird to getting stuck in mud …🕊

Facing through the challenges, darkness, touching the bottom, seeing life in raw form without ethics/ logic, uncertainity, inflexibility, …🌀

With spirit alive, untouched by challenges, lotus grows slowly from the mud, nourishing and in the process of flowering bridging both subtle and gross elegantly …🪷🌿

Grateful to the support, gifts and loans of friends (Sivarama Krishnan, Sheetal Sanghvi, ) it’s getting built brick by brick !
If any of you feel called and resourceful to support in this materially demanding project, welcome to contribute !

Heartful wishes and blessings for the special full moon today called Buddha Poornima 🌕

'Buddha' means realised being of true nature, witnessing impermanence, being boundless, dissolution of illusions, emptiness beyond concepts-ideas, beyond ignorant sufferings, beyond attachments-aversions, flowering of consciousness and compassion through awareness, meditation and self enquiry 🧘

'Buddhu' means person going below the mind escaping/ avoiding through drugs, alcohol, hallucinations, projections, ideology, religion, war, TV, overload of information, ...

What do you want to be - Buddha or Buddhu ?

Let us remember our life flow through 3 planes of existence …
1. [unconscious] Animal/ robotic nature - which is unconscious programs running in body, mind-ego, emotions, energy.
Its responsible for survival, safety, procreation,….
It defines all our flight/fight/freeze reactions. Most of school, education, religion and society is working to tame this nature and to make certain beneficial norms to follow for social living.

2. [conscious] Human nature - which is conscious nature wanting to expand, change, heal, understand, explore all mysteries of life. It defines our goals, growth, ambitions, aspirations, discoveries, conquests, endless desires, evolution…
Modern science, psycology, some part of spirituality are supporting this nature to expand.

3. [superconscious] Buddha nature - which is the true self, state of oneness, boundlessness, enlightenment, witness to all changes, dissolutions of illusions, emptiness beyond concepts-ideas, self realisation…
It's unconditional love, unlimited awareness and being a channel in tune with universe. We call this divine/ soul/ superconscious/ higher self/ godliness. Feeling content/ Tuning to being in the here and now! Real spirituality is nourishing this part to flower, manifest and embody !

Let's contemplate ... how we are flowing and which part is guiding our life !

Soulful gratitude to all buddha / divine/ realised beings ... past, present and future 🙏

Let us wake up to shine, nourish and share our
unique fragrance in life through love and awareness
🌸✨

“If you can’t smell the fragrance
Don’t come into the garden of Love.
If you’re unwilling to undress
Don’t enter into the stream of Truth.
Stay where you are.
Don’t come our way.”
~ Rumi

It’s not easy committing to a 7 weeks journey of the self, through the self, to the true self in an wild adventurous space ✨🧘‍♂️
First week of our 7 weeks (One Mandala) Bodhi Yoga Facilitator Training journey was an intense week of opening ceremony, learning herbal wellness, tuning to the new space and fellow tribe, stepping out of comfort zone, going through fear zone and entering into learning zone 🌀🕊

Appreciate the courageous souls joining together from India, Germany, Poland, Japan tending the inner garden of life 🌿
