Dr.Shoba,\u00a0 Dr.Rajeshwari, Eileen and Al (from US) drove from HIHT campus to Veerbhadra temple (ancient Shiva temple), having loaded the car with fruits and flowers.\u00a0 The line of worshippers stretched for more than a kilometer and the temple grounds were crowded with sellers of food and makeshift market with wide variety of souvenirs.\u00a0 They all decided to come to the ashram and give their offerings to Swami Rama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
As Eileen told us, she asked Swamiji what was the meaning of Shivratri and he replied, \u201cYou know that you celebrate Mother\u2019s Day and Father\u2019s day.\u00a0 Well on this day, you celebrate the Lord of Life.\u201d\u00a0 And he also said, it was a good time to forgive anyone who had\u00a0 harmed or\u00a0 hurt us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He then asked them all if they wanted to go to the temple, to\u00a0 come back at 11pm and he would arrange for car to take them there.\u00a0 Few of us from the ashram also joined.\u00a0 The temple was totally deserted of everyone except the priests performing the puja and us ! What a hallowed space it was to be \u2013 where His Master had also brought him in his early years !!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
God, for me, is\u00a0 truth, and truth is that which exists in all times \u2013 the past, present and future.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Swami Rama<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" March 10, 1994.
