Already free
Hi ajay00!
I agree that to meditate always is a good thing. I used to meditate in the morning and evening. Now I just try to stay free always no matter what is going on. Like I am already free. A good realization for me.
Hope you have a great day.

As an Indian Hindu I have learnt a lot from them as well.  |
Very true, we learn from many teachers as we ourselves change |

Well said!

Prepare yourself for the coming astral journey of death by daily riding in the balloon of God-perception.
Through delusion you are perceiving yourself as a bundle of flesh and bones, which at best is a nest of troubles.
Meditate unceasingly, that you may quickly behold yourself as the Infinite Essence, free from every form of misery. ~Paramahansa's Guru's Guru.

Really? Don't let yourself be enchanted by new age myths. The beliefs that you like about it you could just incorporate in your life right now. India would be somewhere in the bottom category on my list, with African countries, and then various Arab states, Afghanistan and North Korea. It's scores very poorly on cleanliness, safety, health etc.

Many so-called New Age myths are direct experiences of some.

Frederick Lenz
Frederick Lenz as I have heard is the reincarnation of Sri Yukteswar. I saw some videos of him on youtube. What is your view of Frederick Lenz? I know he goes by the name Rama. I learned a lot of interesting teachings from him on youtube. Some people as I understand it claim he is an angel of the genuine Christ or Buddha.
Looking forward to your reply.
Hope you have the best day of your life!

Oh! I didn't see any...just a couple excellent youtubes...and from the 80s even...he's been around.
Btw, Altair - I did agree with what you said - esp about incorporating things about India and beliefs into you life here!
My friend's brother, a Chiropractor in Boston died of dysentery in India...''Livin' the dream''. I rem him well.
(Gee, Unseeking, I'm NOT putting down your country...you can come to America and get shot!!)

Not saying it’s true but here it is ~ https://www.washingtonpost.com/archi...-15ef8442e1b1/
I saw a comment on YouTube too by some girl who said she was abused, traumatised and exploited … cannot find the comment now
Edit: The basic thumb rule for seeking out any master* (*in fact, it’s delusional to seek a guru, the universe will send a physical teacher, if so required) is that if they charge money, stay away. It’s not that funding is not needed for foundations, retreats etc but if the person, the guru is required to transmit any teaching, God Himself will provide the means; he or she does not have to make any effort toward that end. As a conduit of divine energy, under what logic can the person go around asking for money? In fact, a true teacher seeks no disciple, much less a cult following.
