The 4-Day International Oneness Conference is being held in Santa Clara, California on July 31-August 03. Unlike previous Conferences, this one is for Oneness Blessing givers only, and does not offer a day that is open to the public. However...

It was recently announced that this fabulous conference featuring Ananda Giri, senior guide (dasa) from the Oneness University, will also be open to:

anyone who has attended a Level 1 prep course
anyone who has attended one of Sri Raniji's 5 day workshops
any applicant who has been approved for the Level 1 course in Fiji
plus, all current Oneness Blessing Facilitators (deeksha givers)

We've been told that this will probably be the last Oneness Conference of this type in the USA with Anandagiri present, so this may be your only chance to sit in his awakened presence without going to India.

You still have time to qualify to attend the Oneness Conference by registering for Raniji's upcoming prep course teleconference on July 19-20. (See the June 23 post below.)

Space for non deeksha-givers may be limited, so be sure to ask about availability for attending the Oneness Conference when you register for the Prep Course.

You can see a video of Ananda Giri and read about last year's Oneness Conference on the January 6 post at the bottom of this page.

Westerners who are considering becoming a deeksha-giver by attending the Level I course in Fiji, please note that there is a mandatory Preparatory Course you need to attend. Several live courses are planned around the USA, but it's much easier (and less costly) to attend by telephone.

Sri Raniji is teaching a preparatory teleconference on July 19-20 from 8 AM to noon (Pacific Time) each day, and anyone can attend!

You do NOT have to be going to Fiji to attend this teleconference. If you've ever wanted to experience more of the energies of the Oneness University and AmmaBhagavan's grace, by all means, sign up for this prep course.

Sri Raniji will take you through meditations and processes to help you make internal changes and evolve consciously. All the details can be found at the Oneness Movement website.

Bhagavan said that it would take about a week after the Oneness Temple was consecrated for its vibrations of Oneness to permeate the entire Earth. Since that occurred, many have noticed this vibrational phenomenon. Experiences that have been reported range from increased energy and happiness to deep cleansings, processing of issues, pain, tiredness, and elevated body heat, especially in the palms and soles of the feet.

If you experienced any of the latter, dasas at the Oneness University suggest that you not struggle, but instead ask Sri Bhagavan to help you ease through your process.

Miracles are already happening.

The dasas also announced that the Oneness Temple will be opened to the masses again in September. They said that even as it is presently closed, miracles are happening to those who pass by its sacred edifice on the road. Deepenings in consciousness, kundalini experiences, and problems are reportedly being solved just by being anywhere near the Temple. It's quite a powerhouse!

No matter where you are in the world, you can tune into the Oneness Temple in meditation and partake of its offerings. Let us know of .

Due to the unexpected and extraordinarily large numbers of adoring crowds who journeyed to the opening of the Oneness Temple to receive darshan from Amma Bhagavan, the Temple had to be temporarily closed at midday, April 22, for the safety of all concerned.

Officials at the Oneness University issued a statement today addressing the closing, adding that further festivities will be rescheduled over the coming months.

Be sure to read the full statement here...

The Oneness Temple in Golden City, India was consecrated and officially opened this morning by the Oneness University's founding visionaries, Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan. Its purpose...

"to set man totally and unconditionally free."

Thousands were on hand and received AmmaBhagavan's darshan (blessings) after they imbued the building with the energies of the Golden Ball of Divine Grace One who visited the Temple after the inaugural ceremonies described the energy of the Temple building itself as being "amazing" and said that you can tangibly feel it vibrating.

The incredibly beautiful photo below was taken on opening day. Even looking at its immense stateliness, you can feel the sacredness. It looks so inviting.

Wonderful reports from those attending the Oneness Temple opening ceremonies are already coming in.

The dasas have been working furiously overseeing the construction of housing for the one and one half million people they are expecting to attend over the 6-day consecration festivities, April 22-27. Now completed, the complex also has facilities that can feed 150,000 people a day, and parking spaces for over 5,000 vehicles. It's a small city!!!

Amma and Bhagavan will be physically present and officiate at the opening ceremonies, giving darshan to all who attend. As the Golden Ball of Divine Grace descends into the crown chakra, shifts into awaking automatically occur.

As I write this it's already April 22 at the Oneness Temple location, and reportedly the energies of the Golden Ball of Divine Grace are raining down all over the Oneness University campus area en masse!

As humanity becomes more and more receptive, Bhagavan continues to step up the energies of awakening available to the planet. With special occasions like the Oneness Temple consecration, it's usually a big step. Perhaps you can feel the energies of joy surrounding this auspicious event already.

Sri Raniji just returned from assisting with the Level I course at the Oneness University in Fiji, and described the campus as "a piece of art" in its own right (also see the post below). Nothing is definite yet, but there may be a Level II course taught in Fiji in the fall, possibly September, in addition to those being conducted in India.

She also reported that as Bhagavan is continuously increasing the energies that are available to us through him, what was previously offered in the 10 Day Deepening process is now in Level I. How exciting is that?!?

To those who have felt disappointed that (for whatever reason) they had to wait to take a course at the Oneness University, I've always consoled them by pointing out that the longer you wait the more you get, and the above is a good example of that.

The Fiji campus of the Oneness University was consecrated on March 20 with a beautiful, midnight ceremony officiated by Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan's son, Krishna. Anandagiri, plus several other dasas from Golden City, and over a hundred attendees were present.

Amma and Bhagavan were also present via a live broadcast from India using technology that allowed them to see, speak to, and interact with everyone present at the ceremony in Fiji. Their darshan was said to have been so profoundly moving that the grace and joy of it all left many in tears.

The new campus itself sits on a cliff top that overlooks the Pacific ocean, and is bordered on one end by a river and on the other by a 300 acre, natural rainforest preserve. Beautiful palm trees, ferns, and tropical flowers abound.

Amenities include special, resort-like housing facilities, a modern dining hall with fabulous food, and a meditation hall that opens onto a long terrace and reflecting pool--all overlooking the beauty of the peaceful South Pacific.

One attendee described the calm and peaceful atmosphere of the Fiji campus as being naturally conducive to deep spiritual work leading to profound states of awakening.

If you'd like to attend, Level I Oneness courses for those living in America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, China, and other SE Asian countries are now being held at this island paradise campus in Fiji.

The very first International Oneness Conference was held in Los Angeles, CA in the spring of 2006. That started it all. Since then conferences like it have been held in various major cities around the world. Dates and contacts for the upcoming ones are as follows:

Gold Coast, Australia January 10-13, 2008
www.onenesscentre.com.au

Sao Paolo, Brazil January 24-27, 2008
www.onenessmovement.com.br

Stockholm, Sweden February 22-25, 2008
www.onenesscn.eu

Ananda Giri is the featured speaker at each of these events. The confer-ences are open to all Oneness Facilitators, and generally the last day of each is open to the general public. If one is near you, by all means, try to attend. You will receive multiple deekshas given by the dozens (if not hundreds) of Oneness Facilitators who will be present.

This is how a recent attendee reported her experience:

I just returned from attending the public event at the Oneness conference held on Australia's Gold Coast. It was the most beautiful day and well worth the effort to get there.

Anandagiriji is so beautiful. Being in his presence was just unbelievable. I felt so much love for him. He is a very special being on this Earth. I felt honoured to have been in this space and to have heard his words.

I also got the most incredible deeksha high (8 deekshas from 8 different blessing givers) ... I still have waves of energy washing over me. Each one was so different and worked in an entirely different way.

The givers seemed to have specialist 'niches' (for want of a better word). With one I felt very little, but some worked dramatically on the head and rewiring, one worked as a powerful channel of divine love, others worked on total body energy transmission (lots of body/foot tingling with these ones) and one lady just went in there and opened up my heart area ....like opening up a can with a can-opener ...but done very beautifully!

You can get another sense of what a conference is like from the following video that shows some of the final day's activities at the 2007 Oneness Conference in Los Angeles.
