June 9, 2011 -- Happy 35th Anniversary AmmaBhagavan!

AmmaBhagavan's wedding anniversary is celebrated by millions worldwide as World Day of Relationships every June 9th.  Today is even more special as it's their 35th anniversary.  Being together for 35 years sets an exemplary example for all of us to emulate in all the relationships in our lives. 

Bhagavan and Amma have always proffered healing relationships as the cornerstone philosophy of their Oneness Movement through their teaching that "Life is relationships." 

Watch this Day of Relationship video with AmmaBhagavan, and receive blessings to "take your relationships to the next level" and discover more love and joy in all your relationships.

During this month of June, Bhagavan's Moola Mantra is being played in Starbucks!!!  The song is now called "Satchita" and is an updated version of Enzo's "Satchitananda."  It's on the second "Songs Around the World" CD by Playing for Change, and features musicians from all over the world showing "the human family playing together."

Imagine--the Moola Mantra being heard by people worldwide!  The CD/DVD can be purchased at Starbucks, with a portion of sales going to build music and art schools around the world.  You can listen to excerpts here.

June 1, 2011

The Oneness Movement's official site has recently been beautifully revamped.  Be sure to see Sri Amma Bhagavan's website.  It contains some gorgeous photos.

Sri Bhagavan's Weekly Teachings for May--

"The Awakened One, whether does or does not do, does not try.
The unawakened one, whether does or does not do, does try."

"The Awakened One has no mind.
The unawakened one has a mind.
The Awakened One, having no mind, works with the mind of others.
The unawakened one, having a mind, struggles with the mind of others."

"The Awakened One allows things to happen their own way.
The unawakened one tries to make things happen one's own way."

"The Awakened One is constantly unlearning
and therefore continuously unburdened, lives in freedom.
The unawakened one is constantly learning
and therefore continuously burdened,
and does not know what freedom is and hence what living is."

May 20, 2011--World Oneness Day

May 20 is a Global Deeksha Day where Deeksha Oneness Blessings will be given to the planet with the intent of raising the consciousness level of all humanity.
On this day Sri AmmaBhagavan will also shower us all with enormously powerful deekshas to elevate our individual, personal consciousness as well.

AmmaBhagavan's Oneness Guides have asked that we gather (alone or in groups) at 10 AM and/or 10 PM, Indian Standard Time (use this time zone converter to determine the corresponding time in your area), and follow this procedure:

1. Invoke the Divine Presence.
2. Repeat the Moola Mantra seven times.
3. Set a strong intent for global Awakening.
4. Visualize the globe in front of you and offer prayers, blessings, good wishes, deekshas, etc.
5. Be in gratitude.

In the past, mass blessings such as these given on Global Deeksha Days have shown that they profoundly effect human consciousness.  Each individual who takes part plays "a significant role" in this Divine evolution.

April 22, 2011

Today is the third anniversary of the consecration of AmmaBhagavan's magnificant Oneness Temple in Golden City, India (near Chennai).  Below is what the Oneness guides reported about the three day celebration.

The Hall of Awakening is a vortex of Divine energy, a powerhouse for the phenomenon of Oneness Deeksha, propelling the human race in this most vital phase of its evolution.

Even before it was built, numerous people had dreams and visions of this magnificent structure.  In their visions some have seen people coming into the hall and meditating.

A few others' visions foretold that this temple would be dedicated to the One Divine Presence that is everywhere, and when people from any faith come and worship, they will see a sign of their God's presence in the temple.

All those who pray and meditate in this special structure, experience an intense field of Divine energy that facilitates a transition in consciousness from separateness to Oneness.

The anniversary celebrations went on for three days amidst bhakti and divinity, music and hymns with religious fervor.

The temple was beautifully illuminated.  Grand and magnificent floral decoration was done on each day.  There was a lot of joy, excitement and energy in the air.  As the temple stands for Awakening and God-Realization, all the rituals were intended towards fulfilling this purpose.

April 20, 2011

Thousands have reached beautiful, high states of consciousness by attending regional Oneness Bhakti Intensives that have been held since January.  The last of these large, regional Intensives is being held in Chicago, IL, April 29-May 1, 2011.  It combines the Bhakti process for deeksha-givers with a Oneness Awakening course where attendees will be initiated as deeksha-givers, all in the same weekend.

Unfortunately, it's the last of its kind for now, as the Oneness University is encouraging us to focus on our smaller, local Oneness groups.  Local Bhakti processes and Oneness Awakening courses will continue to be taught, but if you've been wanting to take part in a large gathering try to attend this last regional Oneness Intensive. 

April's Teachings from Sri Bhagavan--

"The Awakened One does not know or understand, but sees.
The unawakened one knows and understands, but does not see."

"The Awakened One has nothing to defend,
and therefore does nothing to feel secure.
The unawakened one has a lot to defend,
and therefore must do things to feel secure."

"The Awakened One sees the imperfect as perfect in itself,
and hence rejoices in the way things are.
The unawakened one sees imperfection everywhere,
and hence he is unhappy and dissatisfied with the way things are.
The unawakened one must therefore work to change things.
This, too, is perfect for the Awakened One."

"The Awakened One has no sense of being and doing.
The Awakened One has no vision or goal in mind.  There is just doing.
The Awakened One is humble, and does not practice humility.
The unawakened has a sense of being and doing,
and therefore must have a vision or goal in mind.
The unawakened must practice humility."

"When One is not Awakened, One must not behave like one.
When One is Awakened, One practices nothing.  One is just Awake.
To be Awake is not a means to an end.
To be Awake is an end in itself.
When One is not Awake, One must practice goodness.
Where there is no goodness, One must practice virtue.
Where there is no virtue, One must practice ritual conditioning."

March 12, 2011

We did the Chakra Dhyana meditation many times when I was at the Oneness University in Golden City, India, and Sri Bhagavan recommended that we do it everyday when at home.  Recently he explained why:

"As the kundalini rises and opens up every chakra, it is the equivalent of opening up parts of the brain.  Each chakra is like a switch for a particular part of the brain.  As the kundalini rises and moves into the chakra and activates the chakra, that part of the brain is activated.  And the more and more the brain is activated the greater is the descent of the Divine.  So on the one hand, there is the ascent of the kundalini, and on the other hand, there is the descent of the Divine."

The Golden Ball of Grace entering your body through the Deeksha Oneness Blessing is an easy way to connect with the Divine.  As you can see from Bhagavan's explanation above, the Chakra Dhyana meditation facilitates the Oneness Blessing by opening your chakras and brain for greater reception.  See Chakra Dhyana meditation for a beautiful recording of this meditation.

March's Weekly Teachings from Bhagavan--

The most recent of Bhagavan's teachings for March is listed first--

"Thoughts are subtle, divisive and elusive, and an expression of the self.  They wander as they like.  They create judgment and a troubled and disturbed mind.  They prevent Awareness from happening.  The unawakened must learn to direct, to control and to quieten thoughts by ruling over them.  The Awakened One has moved beyond judgment, for he has gone beyond thought; as he is always ‘Aware.’"

"The Awakened One does nothing, but leaves nothing undone,
for all things are happening all the time around and
through the Awakened One."

"The Awakened One neither suppresses nor ignores,
neither resists nor justifies what is there, inside or outside;
but merely is aware of the what is."

"The Awakened One does not perceive anything as good or bad,
or as right or wrong, and hence has no preferences,
and therefore does not try to change the way things are.

February, 2011, Teachings from Sri Bhagavan--

"The Awakened One achieves nothing,
for there is nothing to be achieved.
The Awakened One understands nothing,
for there is nothing to be understood.
The Awakened One knows nothing, for there is nothing to be known."

"The Awakened One knows that there is nothing to learn;
what is needed is only to unlearn."

"The Awakened One has no fixed plans and no destination.
The Awakened One accepts oneself--
and the world accepts the Awakened One.
The Awakened One knows oneself, and hence has wisdom.
The Awakened One has no conflict with oneself--
and hence has true power.
The Awakened One embraces death--
for there is no death for the Awakened One."

"The Awakened One sees things as they are,
and doesn't try to control or shape them.
The Awakened One doesn't try to convince others.
The Awakened One knows that what is to happen will happen,
and what is not to happen will not happen,
and that the Universe is forever out of his control."

February 1, 2011

We've all seen the profound effects Sri Amma Bhagavan's world-changing role is having during this historic time, and those of us on a spiritual path are each helping them with their global vision in our own way.

If you would like to do even more, a new website has been created so we can help support their mission of bringing Oneness on a global scale through a US nonprofit, tax-exempt foundation.

Funding from this new foundation will be used to further AmmaBhagavan's vision of bringing Oneness to all of humanity.  You can have a significant impact just by making a financial contribution online at the World Oneness Foundation.

January's Weekly Teachings from Bhagwan-- 

"The Awakened One does not try to change the world.
It is perfect and sacred to the Awakened One."

"The Awakened One has no will and no illusions.
The Awakened One merely dwells in reality."

"The Awakened One sees the world emerging from the void,
therefore accepts the world as it is.
As the Awakened One accepts the world as it is,
the Awakened One is established in the primal Self."

"The Awakened One is open to all people and all situations,
and flows with them."

January 1, 2011--Sri Amma Bhagavan's Message for 2011

Accelerating change has led to uncertainty in every sphere of life.  At the individual level there is insecurity with regards to relationships, work and health, and on a global level there is anxiety about the fluctuating market economy, precarious ecology and conflict.  It is this experience of humanity, as a whole, that is affecting the individual all the time.  Just as the pressure of the entire ocean is exerted on every droplet, so does the entire universe impact every individual.

The assertion of separateness has destroyed our capacity to work together.  It is becoming more and more essential, if we are to survive, that there be a spirit of cooperation with the universe.  One cannot possibly cooperate with another, unless one in himself/herself is harmonious, not broken up or in conflict.  As long as the mind dominates all our actions, there can be no cooperation.

Awakening is the flowering of the heart from which the cause of a problem and the arising of suffering is seen.  Personal suffering is a thing of the past.  All feelings arise and cease without any resistance.  Emotional hurts are hard to sustain.  One is at home even amidst strangers; the world is home.

One feels a greater sense of connection to all people and all things.  This is attainable only when one establishes a powerful connection with the Divine.  It is only then that man’s responsibility undergoes a radical change.

Awakening is a journey to be made, not a destination to be reached.  Awakening is a process where you wake up from the dream to reality.  Life this way is so ordinary that it is extraordinary.  One feels that, that is how one has always been.

This New Year will see more and more people ascending into the Divine and the Divine descending into people.

December, 2010, Weekly Teachings from Sri Bhagavan--

"The Awakened One journeys without journeying."

"The Awakened One remains unmoving until
perfect action arises by itself.
The Awakened One is free of all views and concepts;
is One with the what is."

"The Awakened One is one with that which was there
before the universe was born.  It is the one which is eternally present,
the unborn and the undying, one without a beginning."

"The Awakened One is open to everything
and everything falls into place."

"The Awakened One remains unmoving, and action arises by itself.   The Awakened One allows things to come and go like clouds in the sky.   The Awakened One sustains all beings without trying."

November, 2010, Teachings from Bhagwan--

"The Awakened One sees the world as himself or herself;
loves and cares for the world as one's self.
To the Awakened One, all things are perfect as they are."

"The Awakened One is detached from all things, and hence
is One with everything.
Detachment, when practiced, leads to indifference
which is not detachment." 

"The Awakened One is empty and therefore capable.
One should not try to empty one's self." 

"The Awakened One acts without doing anything.
This cannot be practiced."

November 14--World Gratitude Day

This is Sri AmmaBhagavan's message to us on this auspicious day:

The hallmark of greatness is gratitude.  Unfortunately, people do not have this within them.  Lack of gratitude hinders growth.  When observed carefully, every creature is indebted to this planet for all that it has received.

When a child is born, it owes its gratitude to the mother for feeding him/her.  Then the child expresses gratitude to the father for the security he provides.  As a student, he/she owes gratitude to the teacher for the knowledge and wisdom he/she received.  One also owes gratitude for the knowledge of life experience received from the forefathers.  Not forgetting to include plants, animals, and the whole of creation.

When one has the sensitivity to recognize these blessings, and 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.

October 28, 2010

Sri Bhagavan recently gave us an important new sadhana (spiritual practice) that will help put your Awakening on a fast track.  It involves eleven "areas of issue" that we are to sincerely contemplate on, pray about, ask, or demand (whatever it takes) to reveal where we might be lacking.  These areas are:

1. passion
2. sacredness
3. surrender
4. significance
5. our relationship with AmmaBhagavan
6. gratitude--toward everyone
7. emotional balance
8. forgiveness of yourself and others
9. karma
10. sensitivity to the feelings of others
11. inner integrity

Go through the above list each time you do the sadhana (daily is best) to see which one(s) resonate the most, then focus on these in the following step...
 
Next meditate, talk to, and/or sit in contemplation with AmmaBhagavan's srimurthi (photo) for 21 minutes about your highlighted issues.  If you don't have a srimurthi, use the one in our online Meditation Room.
 
Then chant "Amma Bhagavan," "Amma Bhagavan," "Amma Bhagavan" for 21 minutes.

Finally, take Blessings from AmmaBhagavan through the srimurthi, and afterward be sure to rest for as long as you need.

October 9, 2010

Great news, especially for Westerners.  Sri Bhagavan recently reminded us that it will only take 70,000 deeksha-givers to bring about a global trans-formation.  He expects to have 70,000 Blessing-givers initiated worldwide by Spring, 2011.

In anticipation of this, special processes will be released in early 2011 to ensure Awakening.  These processes are already being used in India resulting in rapid awakenings.  At this time, the processes are being adapted for Westerners and others outside of India.  When these are perfected so that they are acceptable to the West, Bhagavan will release them.  He says, "...then we will be moving very, very fast."

October's Weekly Teaching from AmmaBhagavan--

"When judgment stops of its own accord,
there is Oneness with All That Is." 

"When stepping back from your own mind occurs,
there is an understanding of all things." 

"Be yourself." 

"See yourself in others, see others in you." 

"Fear is the greatest obstacle on the spiritual path;
confront your fears."

September's Weekly Teachings from Sri Bhagavan--

Sri Bhagavan has begun giving us a new teaching each week for us to meditate on.  The teachings for September will be added here as soon as they are given, with the most recent being listed first--

"By being grateful for all that has happened and to the people involved in one's life, one enters the spiritual path."

"Not to look at the negative side of those who have not been just to you; but on the other hand to help them, leads to the greatest spiritual reward."

August 2, 2010

There is a new Deepening Process beginning August 19 in India for deeksha-givers.  It's not exactly a "course" but rather a flexible schedule of daily immersions in processes designed to take participants into higher states of Awakening and God Realization.
 
Each day will be different and involve special deekshas, teachings, and unique processes, dictated by the Divine and the needs of individual participants. The new process also involves meditations and other interactions with Sri Bhagavan.

Dates and full details can be found at AmmaBhagavan's website. 

July 11, 2010

As he promised last month, Sri Bhagavan has significantly upped the energies in his Mukti Deeksha webcasts.  They now include advanced processes that have proved successful in courses being taught in the Oneness Temple in India, and he is now making them available worldwide.

He said that these intensified processes "should dramatically speed up things" and that traumas and fears "would be overcome very, very fast at an unbelievable speed."  He also emphasized that, "This process is meant to speed up the process of awakening and to move closer to God."

He's referring to God-Realization! 

June 27, 2010

In his Mukti webcast today, Sri Bhagavan announced that beginning in July he will change the format somewhat and begin deeper and more intense processes and transmissions with the purpose of taking the participants, not just into Awakening, but into full God-Realization.

Groups of deeksha-givers can now participate in these deepening events ONLINE in our online conference room.  Any deeksha-giver, who has attended at least a Level 1, Oneness Experience, or Oneness Awakening course, can join our online group by registering for the Mukti Deeksha webcasts here.

June 13, 2010 -- June's Teaching from Sri Bhagavan--

Bhagavan's teaching and contemplation for June is--

The Whole World Is Family.

June 9, 2010 -- Happy Anniversary Amma Bhagavan

Amma and Bhagavan's wedding anniversary has been proclaimed a Day of Relationships, and is celebrated globally.  They have always taught that healing our relationships is THE most important avenue we can take to speed our spiritual growth.

This is their special message for today about healing our families--

The growing inability to live as a family, to feel for each other and to connect to each other is a worldwide crisis.  It is a relationship crisis.  The crisis of our present day civilization is not so much biological as it is psychological.  Our sense of separation having become too strong, life has become a battle for significance and a struggle for identity.

The struggle to be a "somebody," even at the expense of others, and at the cost of hurting others is a very unhealthy sign.  People destroy themselves emotionally, spiritually and physically.  It is a disease and is most reflected in families today.

Unless the family is held intact, individuals would go to pieces.  They would miss a mother's care, a father's attention and a partner's love.  Loneliness and loss of identity would eat into them.  To escape from loneliness and the fear of being a nobody, people would pursue destructive paths.  This would ultimately lead to breakup of the individual and the fragmentation of society and civilization itself.

Though the world is heading in this direction; all is not lost.  There is an immense possibility for humanity to awaken into a new state of consciousness.  There is a beautiful window opening up for humanity to make a giant leap in consciousness; that is--Awakening.

When you are awakened you automatically start experiencing everything around you, including your relationships.  You feel a greater sense of connection to all people and all things.  Emotional hurts are hard to sustain because awareness keeps consciousness empty; ready for a fresh experience.

Life this way is so ordinary that it is extraordinary.  You would begin to realize this is how you have always been.

June 6, 2010

To honor and celebrate and coming Day of Relationships, AmmaBhagavan held a live, Mukti Deeksha event in India for 100,000 participants.  AND, at the same time, it was simultaneously telecasted into the homes of over one million people all over India, so they could participate in the event in their homes.

Thousands of Deeksha-Givers all over the world were also invited to participate in this amazing live event via webcast.  A statement from the dasas in Golden City said, "It is in these Indian webcasts that most of the people move into irreversible states of awakening."

The event culminated in Nayana Deeksha (eye deeksha) from Sri Amma Bhagavan, plus a meditation with them, then celebratory dancing by the thousands of attendees.  The entire Mukthi Deeksha event was quite powerful and transformational.

May 23, 2010

A number of years ago Sri Bhagavan told us that it would take 64,000 enlightened beings (0.001% of the world's population) to reach the necessary critical mass to shift the consciousness of all of humanity.

Today, as the world's population approaches 7 billion, that number is now 70,000.  With so many people becoming awakened through his Mukti Deeksha process, this is what Bhagavan recently had to say about it--

"...it looks like by February, 2011 we might reach the figure of 70,000 people across the planet, all undergoing the awakening process.  If that should happen in February, 2011, we could start expecting fireworks after that!"

May 8, 2010

Six years ago when I first went to AmmaBhagavan's Oneness University, Bhagavan told us that, as 2012 approached, things would get much worse before they got better.  Just recently he said...

"Starting with July, 2010, up to the end of 2012, humanity is going to pass through a great crisis in all spheres of human existence and activity.  It is important for people as a whole to be in the right frame of mind to successfully pass through these very difficult years."

The good news is that he also told us exactly how to survive the crisis when he said,

"Awakening is the ultimate solution to all problems;
be it at the level of the individual or the collective."

People are becoming fully awakened through Bhagavan's Mukti Deeksha, and you can receive this special deeksha online though Bhagavan's webcasts during the month of May.

May's Teaching from Sri Bhagavan--

Bhagavan gave his teaching and sadhana for May during the May 2 Mukti Deeksha webcast.  It is to internalize this statement:

I Am Love.

By this he doesn't mean the kind of love we normally think of that involves attachment, possession, etc., but the unconditional, universal love that can't really be comprehended or even described with words.

Neither is he referring to the personality/ego "I," but rather the universal "I" which is everywhere and in everyone.  In the awakened state you will know that you are love.  There is only love.

April 25, 2010

Beginning today and continuing each weekend through May 30, Sri Bhagavan is giving Mukti Deeksha in webcasts.  The webcasts are for groups only but anyone can attend.

In the future, Bhagavan's webcasts of this type will be for deeksha-givers only, so this is a wonderful window of opportunity to receive the Mukti Deeksha for full liberation and get it online.

April's Teaching from Sri Bhagavan--

Bhagavan's teaching and sadhana for April is to contemplate this statement:

I Am Existence, Consciousness, Bliss.

March 24, 2010

Good news from Golden City.  As of today the Madras High Court has restrained about thirty private TV channels in southern India from broadcasting negative clippings pertaining to Sri Bhagavan.  In issuing the order, the Justice stated it was his opinion the victims had been projected in such a detrimental light that it "might be in violation of human rights."

March 22, 2010

Sri Bhagavan just announced some sweeping changes and has put his Oneness Movement on hyper-speed.  The phenomenon is now running at full 100% power!
 
These new policies will take effect immediately--

1. The Oneness Experience courses currently taught by Oneness Trainers are to become Oneness Awakening courses where you will be initiated as a Oneness Blessing Giver AND receive the Mukti Deeksha for full Awakening.  The Sacred Mukti Deeksha is designed to give a person the permanent state of Awakening.  You can find a Oneness Trainer near you by contacting your country's Oneness Coordinator at Amma Bhagavan's website.  (If there's no Trainer near you, don't worry, we hope to offer this online as soon as permission is given.)
   
   
2. The only courses now taught at the Oneness University are the Oneness Trainer course and the Oneness Deepening process.
   
   
3. Level I and Level II courses will be discontinued after the currently scheduled courses are completed.  They are no longer required to become a Oneness Trainer.  Completion of a Oneness Awakening or Oneness Experience course (with graduation Certificate) is now a required prerequisite.
    

From Sri Bhagavan's recent webcast--

"[The Mukti Deeksha] is a very special Deeksha.  That is why it is called Mukti Deeksha, and once you receive it, it is all over.  The state will be there.  For some people it will take a little time, maybe a day or two.  If all goes well it has to be permanent, irreversible, the first time itself...Those that do not get it now could go home and repeat it and it will come back.  In case it dips, once or twice, repeat and it remains permanently, irreversibly, with you for life.  You have the freedom to repeat it whenever you want to.  You will be moving into deeper and higher states of consciousness.  It's all up to you." 

March's Teaching from Sri Bhagavan--

As a helpful sadhana on our path to awakening, Bhagavan encourages us to take "The Middle Path" by practicing what he calls...

The 7 Balances

Balance 1.  Avoid the extremes of certainty and uncertainty.
Balance 2.  Avoid the extremes of indulgence and abstinence.
Balance 3.  Avoid the extremes of dominance and subservience.
Balance 4.  Avoid the extremes of possessiveness and indifference.
Balance 5.  Avoid the extremes of resignation and extreme seeking.
Balance 6.  Avoid the extremes of carelessness and being obsessed
                with perfection.
Balance 7.  Avoid the extremes of analysis and synthesis.

Be sure to also see the Benefits of Practicing Sri Bhagavan's Teachings.

February 21, 2010

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 conscious-ness 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 are now scheduled.

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.

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.

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 at AmmaBhagavan's website.

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.  Sri 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

A wonderful program on health and healing that's normally available mostly for Indians is now also available for English-speaking Westerners.  This six day Oneness Health Course allows you to:

• heal various organ systems in your body
• heal the emotional charges causing your disease
• learn advanced healing techniques and practices
• revitalize and rejuvenate your body
• end conflicting inner dialog
• free yourself of unconscious negative forces 
• slow the aging process
• learn simple techniques for healing yourself
• raise your consciousness level through Deeksha Oneness Blessings
• become a happier person...
• plus much more!

The Oneness University's health course includes diet (based in the latest research and findings), cleansing, various meditation techniques, exercise, and specialized knowledge and remedies.

The course taught in English is August 31-September 5, and is being held at the OC2 campus which is near Amma Bhagavan's Oneness Temple.  (Great chance to also visit the Temple and meditate there.  Be sure to see the July 5th entry about this below.) 

This 6 day course is also taught in the Hindi, Telugu, Kannada, Malayalam, and Tamil languages, and these courses for Indians are held in Nemam, India.  Cost of the course is 7000 rupees (about $145 USD), and is open to everyone in the age group of 18-60 years.

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.  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.)

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.

December 19, 2008

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.

(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.

March 6, 2008  (an update to the entry below)   

Krishnaraj has assured us that everyone attending the Temple opening, and staying at any of the Chennai hotels listed at the travel site below, can feel completely at ease about doing so.

Everything involved in your hotel stay, including transportation and meals, is completely under the control of the Oneness University dasas.  All arrange-ments and activities will personally be overseen by the dasas so that every-thing runs perfectly smoothly for you during your stay in India.

February 3, 2008

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.
