Rumi's quote, "What nine months does for the embryo, forty early mornings will do for your growing awareness" inspired a deeksha-giver to
organize a worldwide meditation called the "Winter Fest for the Soul." The 5th annual event begins January 15 through February
23. It's always been well supported by the Oneness community, and everyone is invited to participate.
It consists of 40 minutes a day, for 40 days, of any spiritual practice of your choice (meditation, prayer, journaling, yoga, daily acts of
kindness, etc.). This forty minutes of practice can be divided into two 20 minute sessions, or four 10-minute segments. You can
easily design your practice based on your schedule, and choose whatever sadhana that works best for you.
It's said that this 40 day commitment of daily practice can create a life-changing experience, and allow kindness and compassion to flow
naturally into your daily life by deepening your connection with the Divine.

A New Year's wish for you from the Oneness University:
When you look into your heart as the new year starts,

of happiness and Divine connection.
With the blessings of Sri Amma Bhagavan,
may your life be filled with all auspiciousness,
and may you flower into Oneness.

When Sri Bhagavan recently spoke to a group in Austria, he revealed some wonderful news! Below are two of
the questions he was asked along with his pertinent answers. You can also see the video of Bhagavan's entire message with darshan.
Question: Bhagavan, what will happen after January 15th in the Oneness community, Bhagavan?
Answer: All these years we have been preparing you, and the process was intended to work on
yourself. Now...
Your role is to receive what we are going to give. Now, for example, we have been asking you to look into yourself,
become aware of this, become aware of that; stay with this, stay with that. All these things you have tried to the extent
possible.
From January 15th onwards, a new deeksha will be introduced, which is for you to receive what we are
giving.
These are powerful deekshas, which would put you into either Awakened states or make you Awakened. These deekshas,
to be exact, would start from January 29th.
Question: Dear Bhagavan, how can we as unawakened people figure out the resistance from our conditioning
more easily? Please help us to understand it better and to deal with it.
Answer: All these problems would be taken care of when we introduce the new, powerful
deekshas.
November's Teachings from AmmaBhagavan--
"The Awakened One never expects results.

"The Awakened One has no preferences.

"The Awakened One looks inside Oneself.

November 14--World Gratitude Day
Sri Bhagavan feels so strongly about the importance of the state of gratitude that he proclaimed November 14 to be World Gratitude
Day. This is what he had to say about it in one of his messages...
"The hallmark of greatness is gratitude...when the heart dwells in gratitude, one realizes that this universe is bountiful,
and every moment of his/her life is divinely guided by Grace. Given that, gratitude is the highest expression of emotion in
humans, as it signifies the evolution of one's consciousness."
There is more about the psychology and science behind gratitude, plus an easy sadhana to help increase your state of gratitude here.
11-11-11
Most of us weren't present on Earth when 11-11-11 last rolled around in 1911, but we're fortunate to be here for it this time. A date
containing so many master numbers clearly is a very auspicious day, and celebrations are being held worldwide.
The Global Africa Ubuntu/Oneness Indaba in Johannesburg is very special because it's always been Sri Bhagavan's vision that
Africa will awaken first and help lead the world into Oneness Consciousness.
This event will be streamed live on Facebook giving it the potential to be viewed by 400 million. You can see it from 2:30 PM to
4:30 PM Eastern Standard Time (New York, USA). Use this time zone converter to get your local time. The live streaming will only be available during
2:30-4:30 PM EST, but a recording will be made available if you can't watch it live.*
The last 30 minutes are said to feature a message from Arch Bishop Desmund Tutu, the Dalai Lama, AmmaBhagavan, and other leaders. Sri
Amma Bhagavan will also give silent Blessings for 11 minutes for the spiritual Awakening of Africa and the entire world. Be sure to add
your own blessings and prayers for this same intention.
* UPDATE November 12: 110 different countries participated in
the live streaming of this event that united an estimated 350,000 people in silent prayers and Oneness Blessings. You can see the recorded
11-11-11 broadcast near the bottom of this page showing Sri Amma Bhagavan giving darshan.

Bishop Tutu speaks about Oneness
October 28, 2011
Many believe that this day marks the end of the Mayan Calendar--and the beginning of the Age of Oneness. It's also a
day when Sri Bhagavan once again will increase the energies of the Oneness phenomenon. (We were recently told that only 30% of the
deeksha energy is available to us right now, but it will be "stepped up to a surprising level" over the next year.)
This momentous, energetic shift will also allow us to begin to more fully understand the meaning of, utilize, and create with universal laws
involving manifesting wealth and wealth creation.
The end of human suffering has begun in ernest.

September 23-26, 2011
From past Global Deeksha Days, we know how powerfully the Collective Consciousness can be impacted by worldwide meditations where thousands of
people around the planet meditate together for the same purpose. In this light you are invited to join the Cosmic Consciousness
celebration, September 23 through 26.
You can participate either individually, or by planning your own group events/meditations/prayers, with the intention to take part in the
coming shift from duality into Unity Consciousness of Oneness, and also make a commit-ment to the following two declarations:
1. That we will consistently let our lives be guided by Divine guidance rather than our egos.
2. That we surrender our "right" to respond with negativity to negativity in others, or respond with violence to the violence of
others.
In the presence of Hopi and Mayan elders, noted scholar of the Mayan Calendar and Deeksha-Giver, Carl Calleman, will lead a meditation for the
above purposes on September 23. You can join in live by calling 1-760-569-7676, access code 949731#. Beginning time for the call:
7 AM in Los Angeles, USA
10 AM in New York, USA
4 PM in Paris, France
7:30 PM in Mumbai, India
11:30 PM in Adelaide, Australia
Calleman explains more about the Convergence in this video and how it corresponds with the calendar's Ninth Wave of Cosmic Consciousness:

In reference to participants in a recent Oneness Deepening course that is taught at the Oneness University in India, an attendee was quoted
saying, "most of them left in awakened states." Awakening is no longer something that is far off. It's happening
now! To many people.
The 7 to 28 day deepening course is for deeksha-givers only and can be attended for one, two, three, or four weeks in succession. It's
your choice. There are four more courses scheduled through the end of this year with the beginning dates of September 22, October 23,
November 22, and December 22. Deeksha-givers can get details through AmmaBhagavan's website.

It's been reported from one of the Oneness guides that as of the end of July, 2011, around 10,100 people are already fully and
permanently in a state of Oneness Awakening, and almost 800,000 people have experienced Awakened states that aren't permanent yet, but come and
go. Wow...
