Latest News

Visit to Ganeshpuri: January-February 2009

The sages rightly say that Shakti exists everywhere but it is also true that in the yogic heartland of Ganeshpuri, spiritual energy seems to operate at a far more intense frequency. Swamiji has often talked of our relationship with Ganeshpuri as being a kind of play’. It is good to be here in Satsang in Mt Eliza but to visit the most holy town of Bhagawan Nityananda and Swami Muktananda is a divine blessing. To leave it can be terribly sad. The ‘play’ of being with, and being apart from, this remarkable little Indian town is like the time-honoured story of Gopi and Krishna - full of devotion and yearning, oneness and separation.
