AmmaBhagavan's plan to accelerate their mission by teaching more Oneness Trainers and sanctioning them to initiate new Oneness Blessing-givers has resulted in there now being nearly 200 Oneness Trainers and 3,000 deeksha-givers in North America alone!  It's happening worldwide, and the explosive growth will continue.  Congratulations to all the new initiates.

February's Teaching from Sri Bhagavan--

An awakened person is detached from their thoughts and just sees them flowing through.  The human mind is very, very ancient and it just there.  The awakened recognize that your body is not your body, and also know that the Self and its sense of separation is an illusion.  There is only Oneness.

The second part of February's teaching is that all things happen automatically.  It's merely an illusion that there is a mind/thinker/doer.  The awakened see that thinking/doing/acting is all automatic.

January's Teaching from Sri Bhagavan--

Bhagavan has said that each month he will be giving us a teaching.  We are to try to understand it intellectually, then contemplate and meditate on each particular teaching and apply it in our lives.  Working with these teachings in this way will hasten spiritual growth and enhance your deekshas. 

January's teaching is to see and accept what is going on inside you without trying to change, judge, or disown it--good/bad, right/wrong, love/hate, fear/courage, etc.--all the opposites.  He reminds us that, "All things exist in their opposites and you contain all these things."  To see is to be free.  The simple sadhana on this page can help with January's teaching.

January 19, 2010

Sri Bhagavan has stressed the importance of initiating as many Oneness Blessing Givers as possible by the beginning of 2012.  He feels that this will create the best opportunity for the greatest shift of humanity's consciousness into higher awareness.

In order for this to happen not only are more deeksha-givers needed, but so are new Oneness Trainers who can do the initiating.  Oneness Trainer courses (as well as the prerequisite Level 1 and Level 2 courses) are now scheduled.  The current calendar schedule can be found on AmmaBhagavan's website.

These courses, which are all held at the Oneness University in Golden City, India, are free.  All you need to pay is room, board, and transportation, and there is a choice of three levels of accommodations ranging from 945 rupees to 7,875 rupees a day.

Oneness Trainer Requirements--

You can get more details, plus registration forms at Amma Bhagavan's site.

AmmaBhagavan's website was completely revamped recently, and even though the URL remains the same, if you've bookmarked some of its pages, the links to these may no longer work.  Check out Sri Bhagavan's new site.

January 1, 2010 -- AmmaBhagavan's Message for 2010

December 20, 2009

Since December 3 (see the post below), current Oneness Trainers have been doing a phenomenal job of initiating new Oneness Blessing-Givers!

It was announced today that in just the past 2 ½ short weeks nearly 500 initiates have attended local Oneness Experience courses in the USA and Canada and have become new deeksha-givers.

If you would like to also be able to give Oneness Blessings, you can find information on the Oneness Trainers in your area by contacting the Coordinator for your country.  Just click on the "Coordinators Worldwide" link at AmmaBhagavan's Contact page.  

December 3, 2009

As we race towards 2012, in order to speed the process of worldwide awakening, Sri Bhagavan has been making sweeping changes in his Oneness Movement.  The most important ones at this point are...

1. Level 1 and Level 2 course requirements have been eliminated, so you no longer have to travel to Fiji, Italy, or India to become a Oneness Blessing Giver.
   
   
2. Local Oneness Trainers in each country will be teaching the 2-day Oneness Experience courses and, as of today, the Trainers will have the ability to initiate those who attend into becoming Blessing Givers.
   
   
3. Courses to train more Oneness Trainers are to be set up in India, and will possibly begin as early as March, 2010.
   
   
4. Costs for Oneness Movement courses will be free or very low.
   
   
5. See the November 22 post below.

November 22, 2009

Five years ago when I attended the 21 Day Process (Level I) in Golden City, we were told that, in time, all deeksha-givers would be able to initiate others in becoming deeksha-givers.  Well, that time is approaching.  Bhagavan just announced that sometime in 2011 this will be possible (I suspect it could be sooner).  Why?  Think about this...
 
If you are able to give Oneness Blessings and create new Blessing-givers, and they can do the same, and on and on, how fast do you think Oneness can grow?  :>)  It's exponential!!!

October 31, 2009

The Oneness Temple will not be open during November and December while it prepares for Indian celebrations in January.  The entire month of January is an Indian holy month and the Temple will be open exclusively to Indians for their ceremonies and rituals during that time.

The Oneness Temple will once again be open to the general public in February.

There is a possibility that beginning in March, 2010, packages may be made available to Oneness Blessing Facilitators for 7 to 10 day stays at the Oneness University where they can visit India and meditate in the Oneness Temple--and possibly even with Sri Bhagavan.  A definite announcement about dates may be made as early as next month, so stay tuned! 

August 5, 2009

Ten thousand Indian youths from southern India recently gathered in the Oneness Temple with Sri Bhagavan to receive darshan.  These young adults were specifically invited to this gathering by Bhagavan because of his recognition and focus on youth as the future of our existence.

Bhagavan's focus on youth is continuing with three, 2-day Oneness Youth courses being planned in the USA.  It's called Transforming the World from Within, and the just announced, upcoming dates and locations are:

Los Angeles, CA            October 17-18
Fairfield, IA                    October 24-25
Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX    November 7-8

This global program for young adults (ages 16 to 25) is designed to help them develop love and happiness in all relationships, turn personal conflict into peace, and give them tools to guide them into a successful future in Oneness.

The course also acts as a Preparatory Course for Level I.  Contact information can be found here.

July 16, 2009

July 5, 2009

Over 40,000 people visit and meditate in AmmaBhagavan's Oneness Temple each month now, and so can you!

You may not necessarily want to travel all the way to Golden City, India just to see the Temple, but if you're in the area, or taking one of the Oneness University courses, visiting this magnificent temple is a must.

Built using Vaastu principles of the Vedic science of sacred geometry, and on converging ley lines, the energy of the Oneness Temple elevates your consciousness merely by walking through it.

You can meditate every morning and evening in the upper sanctum in the presence of the Sacred Golden Ball of Divine Grace with Cosmic Beings and dasas from the Oneness University.  AND, Wednesday through Sunday mornings you will have the opportunity to meditate with Sri Bhagavan and Amma themselves!  (Timings can change, so be sure to check before you go.)

There is a nominal gate fee to enter the Temple, and lodging arrangements to stay near the Temple can be made through onenessnorthamerica.org.  Lodging is based on space availability and fees vary depending on the accommodations you choose. 

June 9, 2009 -- Happy Anniversary Amma Bhagavan!

In honor of this special day, Sri Bhagavan proclaimed his wedding anniversary with Sri Amma as "Day of Relationships."  This is a message from them about today.

"With Inner Integrity arises acceptance of oneself.
With acceptance of oneself arises love of oneself.
With acceptance of oneself arises the acceptance of the other.
With love of oneself arises love for the other.
With love for the other arises relationship.
LIFE IS RELATIONSHIP!"

The dasas in Golden City have suggested that if you want to take your relationships to a higher level, hold the above message within your heart and sincerely pray with deep gratitude to discover greater love and joy in all your relationships.

Anandagiri is coming to North America this August to conduct 3-day "Living In Oneness" seminars.  Scheduled dates are August 14-16 for Los Angeles, CA, and August 28–30 for Toronto, Canada.

The good news is that both of these courses will be open to the general public, as well as deeksha-givers.  Details about both events can be found here.  Mark your calendars now!

May 20, 2009

A second Oneness Youth course will be held for American and Canadian youths, ages 16-26, on August 5–13, 2009.  This is the first time the seven day course will be held at the new Oneness Center in Verona, Italy.

Our youth are our future, and this Level I course in Oneness can give them the strength and vision they will need to lead the world in the coming Golden Age.

It is specifically designed to:

• help them find peace and happiness
• inspire their hearts and consciousnesses
• develop loving relationships
• help them experience Oneness through deeksha
• empower them with the ability to give deeksha to others
• guide them onto a path of personal success
• give them tools to turn their dreams and visions into reality

Participation in the course in Italy requires attending the prerequisite "Transforming the World From Within" preparatory course, which is currently being offered in several locations across the USA. 

April 30, 2009

What could be the last International Oneness Conference in Europe will be held May 13-17 in Milan, Italy, and space is still available.  The first days are for deeksha-givers only, but the last day, Sunday, May 17, is open to everyone.

Anandagiri, together with several other dasas, will lead the conference, and two Oneness Beings may also be present.  There will be a live webcast from India with Sri Bhagavan during the event.

On Sunday, Amma and Bhagavan's son, Sri Krishnaji, will make a rare appearance and share a message with the general public via webcast.  It was Krishnaji whom the Golden Ball of Divine Grace first came through in 1989 at AmmaBhagavan's Jeevashram School, launching the new age of enlightenment.

March 7, 2009 -- Happy Birthday Bhagavan!

Today is Bhagavan's 60th birthday, and it's an extremely important day because, in India, the 60th birthday is considered to be a significant mile-stone.  It marks the beginning of an auspicious, new chapter or cycle in a person's life, and is celebrated with a Shashti Poorthi.

Each year Bhagavan's birthday has also been a time when he has committed to increasing the Divine energy he transmits.  In addition, as the year 2012 and the beginning of the Golden Age of Oneness approaches, Bhagavan says that he will...

"...be stepping up the power every 5 months, then every 4 months, then 3 months, then once in 2 months, then once every month, then once in three weeks, then once in two weeks, then once in a week, then finally once in 24 hours we'll reduce, then finally every hour until the last second...and that's when the shift would happen.  It'll be an extraordinary unbelievable shift."

February 27, 2009

The March 15-23, Level 2 course will be the last one to be held at the Oneness University campus in Golden City, India.  After this course date all Level 2 courses for participants from America, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and some Pacific rim Asian countries will attend these courses taught at the Fiji campus.

If you want to experience the Level 2 course in India, (and I highly recommend it because you also get to experience the Oneness Temple) there is still space available for the Golden City, March 15-23 class.

February 19, 2009

The Oneness Center in Italy is now open, and has Level I courses scheduled through 2009 for participants from Russia, Kazakhstan, Hungary, Czech Republic, Holland, Scandinavia, Italy, Germany, Switzerland, Spain, Greece, France, Brazil and Latin America.

This beautiful center was inaugurated on February 7th, and is located in the province of Verona in northeastern Italy, only 15 minutes from the city's airport.  (Verona is also famous as being the setting for William Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet.)

You can see some of the new academy's inauguration in this video:

January 20, 2009

A new US president has been inaugurated, but this is not just important merely for Americans, for today Barack Obama steps onto an International stage as one of the world's top leaders.

No matter what your beliefs or politics are, please remember that not only will he be leading the USA through the immediate trying times, but he will also be president in the years leading up to, and through, the dawning of the Golden Age in 2012.

This changing of the guard in America is so important that we have been asked by the Oneness University's North American office to send the following blessing/prayer/request with the intent to send love and support to President Obama this week by uniting together as ONE.

You may add to this short, suggested blessing or change it anyway you wish.

INAUGURAL BLESSING

I ask the Divine to help provide the guidance and clarity for President Obama to make the right decisions for these troubled times.

To provide him, his family, and the new administrative team with wisdom, and the strength and health they will need to sustain the long hours, intense environment and pressures of their new duties.

Please note that this blessing is not just about Obama, but about uniting America and the world, all working towards a common goal, a common vision, regardless of background, race, or economic status--to truly come together as a nation and as a global community.

It's about all of us--as we are all ONE.

January 1, 2009--Sri Bhagavan's Message for 2009

In addition to their original onenessnorthamerica.org website, Sri Amma & Bhagavan, and the Oneness University have, just today, launched a new website at onenessindia.org.
 
I've transcribed below the text of Bhagavan's message for the New Year in which he inspires us to dream--

The new year is meant to dream and to bring forth a new creation.

Dream...

Let your feelings grow wings and fly beyond the farthest horizons of your imagination.  Though the fabric of your dreams be checkered by longings of pleasure and victory...may the forms that dance in the flames of your imagination be of loving friendship from many, and respect from most, including yourself.

Dream of a moment when your mothers and fathers, sons and daughters would embrace you when they realize the trust they post in you has come true.
 
Dream of a moment when in your family the coldness of hurt is replaced with the warmth of love.
 
Dream of a moment when all who know you turn you into an idol to be emulated.
 
Dream of a moment when even those who dislike you are touched by your acts of kindness and look upon you with esteem.
 
Dream of a moment when millions will bless the moment you were born.

Dream of yourself being part of a world that knows no division.

Dream of an earth where the rivers are full, the forests green, sunlight bright, mountains tall, and laughter everywhere.

And after you have dreamt, pray, the Cosmic Dreamer, to help turn these into realities, fatigued with excitement, move then into the quiet of your consciousness.

Every morning of this New Year remind yourself of your new belief, which would make you feel happy and successful.

The very first Oneness Youth program for Westerners will be held in India January 5-13, 2009.  This Level I youth program was developed to help young adults (age 18–26) discover peace and love in their relationships, and lead them onto a path of success, both individually and collectively.

Young adults are our immediate future, and this course offers tools and guidance to assist them in healing their inner and outer conflict, and turn their dreams into reality.  If there's a youth in your life that you'd like to have guided into their purest and fullest potential by the dasas in Golden City, you can get a course application at Amma Bhagavan's website.

December 13, 2008

An Australian news source reported today that Hollywood star Meg Ryan (along with the former wife of comedian Mike Myers) had recently completed one of the seven day courses at the Oneness University campus in Fiji.

Way to go Meg!  She joins Hugh Jackman and many other celebrities who have recently awakened to their spiritual "role" on the broader stage of global enlightenment.

December 4, 2008

During the CA Oneness Conference in August, Dr. R. Rosedale, creator of the Rosedale Diet, spoke to us about his ongoing medical work with nutrition, diabetes and heart disease.  He also mentioned that he would be creating health programs in conjunction with Sri Amma Bhagavan and the Oneness University in Golden City, India.

The first of these programs has been launched!  The inaugural Oneness University Health Program is centered on diabetes, and it was announced that a heart program is next with many others to follow.

In the coming years, the Oneness University's Health Program hopes to educate and graduate thousands in nutrition, self-healing, healthy lifestyle, diet, and health consciousness.

AmmaBhagavan's programs embrace personal and global transformation through conscious wellness, wholeness, and moving into the state of Oneness which is beyond disease.

November 24, 2008

After being closed for repairs, AmmaBhagavan's Oneness Temple is open once again.  It's open to spiritual seekers as well as the general public, from any country, nationality, religion, etc.  All are welcome.

Entry fee to the Temple is 175 rupees (about $3.50 USD), and visitation for Westerners is daily between the hours of 3:00 and 5:00 PM.  If the Oneness Beings are present you are welcome to meditate with them if you wish.

The Temple is less than a two hour drive from the Chennai airport, so it's an easy day trip.  If you would like to stay nearer the Temple, accommodations are sometimes available at the Oneness University's campuses 2 and 3.

Campus 2 has dormitory style housing for $50 per night.  Campus 3 has hotel type accommodations (rooms with a private bath) at $100 per night for a single, and $150 for two people to a room.

Accommodations are based on space availability, and current open dates are Nov. 25 through Dec. 2, 2008, and Jan. 25 through Jan. 31, 2009.  Reservations need to be made.

Things are subject to change, so before leaving for India it's always best to check for the most current information. 

September 27, 2008

Anandagiriji had some exciting news to share with us today.  In a teleconference he announced that there are plans for Oneness Centers to be built around the world and Amma and Bhagavan will come to visit each one.  That means that Amma Bhagavan will be coming to the United States!

These new centers and AmmaBhagavan's more active participation will help make Oneness available to more and more people worldwide.

Ananda Giri stated that the Golden Age is a certainty, and went on to tell us how the future will look (paraphrased from my notes):

The world is moving in the direction of Oneness.  As 2012 approaches this is what we will experience.  Inner transformation will move from a state of separation to Oneness.  As we move from a state where we feel disconnected to non-separation, the transformation is going to influence and be reflected in politics, economics, religions, and other social structures worldwide.

Right now all our systems are rooted in competition.  As we move from separation to Oneness, from competition to cooperation, we will see new world economics, new world politics, etc.  All this we will see approaching or by the turn of 2012.

The more we can share the vision of Oneness and touch the lives of others, the faster it will happen.  This is part of the reason new Centers and Oneness University campuses with be opened, and Amma Bhagavan will be visiting different countries of the world--to help speed the transformation. 

September 23, 2008

Our beloved Uttamaji (Matthew Ottenberg), a Oneness University dasa and the first Westerner to become a Cosmic Being, is now Bhagavan's Oneness Movement's National Coordinator for all of North America.

When I first met Uttama in 2004 he was Sri Raniji's chief assistant at the Oneness Movement's office in California, and it was an honor to give one of my first live deeksha events with him.  Even back then he was in such a beautiful state of consciousness that being hugged by him felt like being held in the arms of the Divine Mother.  Shortly thereafter Bhagavan called him to India where, in time, he became a fully awakened Oneness Being.

Now he's back home with us as our National Coordinator.  The new Oneness Movement website is onenessnorthamerica.org and all information about the Level I and Level II courses can be found there.

September 22, 2008

Because all of the upcoming Level II Oneness courses for Westerners in India have now been filled through the end of the year, Ananda Giri was asked about the possibility of adding another course in Fiji before the cost goes up in January.

He gladly said yes, and a Level II course (rarely taught outside of India) has been scheduled for December 12-20, and will be conducted at the Oneness University campus in Fiji. 

August 26, 2008

We're often reminded that the youth are our future, and when you think about it, the youth of today will be living almost their entire lives in Oneness.  Now you can give the young adults in your family (ages 18-26) a head start with the long awaited Youth Process in India.

The first 7-day Youth Process will be held in India, January 5-13, 2009.  The focus of this course is on awakening intelligence and offers powerful tools for success.  Participants are also initiated as Oneness Blessing/Deeksha Givers at the end of the process.

As a result of the above new course, Oneness Youth America was created to offer preparatory courses.  Several 2-day intensive workshops are already planned, and focus on inner and outer success and happiness in all areas of life.  See onenessyouthamerica.org for dates and details of the prep courses.

(I am proud to say that Matt Lundbeck, who was in my 21 Day Process class in 2004, was one of the ones asked by the Oneness University to assist in creating Oneness Youth America.  Matt is quite a special young man, and everyone who attends any of the OYA courses can expect to come away changed just from being with him.)

August 10, 2008

It was announced at the recent Oneness Conference in Santa Clara, CA that something we have been waiting so long for is finally a definite project.  There are now plans for the first two Oneness Centers in the USA.  One is to be located on the East Coast and one on the West coast, with the latter to be built first.

They will be open to anyone who wants to come, meditate, read, watch videos from Golden City, have Blessings, and learn about Oneness.  Dasas from the Oneness University will come periodically to teach, and the centers will be host to Oneness events, preparatory courses, and even possibly some advanced courses.

Locations are presently being scouted, so if you know of land or a building that could be donated, contact us.  Wouldn't it be great to have a Oneness Center located right in your own area?!?

Another announcement was that a Oneness Health Institute, headed by Ron Rosedale, MD, is being built in conjunction with the Oneness University.  Dr. Rosedale is an Internationally known expert in metabolic medicine and nutrition.

Lastly, Anandagiri invited us to visit jogogreen.com and plant a tree--online.  The site was created by an environmentally oriented teenager and is now partnered with the Oneness University.

Just by answering 10 questions correctly about the environment at the above website, Trees for the Future will plant one tree--free.  How easy is that???  Just sit at home at your computer and trees are planted.  Anandagiri asked that we do it everyday.

I read that it only takes six new trees planted each year to make you carbon neutral.  Now we have no excuse not to be even more environmentally proactive.  Go green!

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.

June 23, 2008   

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.  You will be taken through meditations and processes to help you make internal changes and evolve consciously.

May 11, 2008   

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.

April 28, 2008   

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...

April 22, 2008   

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.

April 21, 2008   

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.

Oneness Temple in Golden City, India 

April 2, 2008   

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. 

March 22, 2008   

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.
