ParamaPoojya Sri Gurudev’s Stay at Ooty was quite successful and healthy. Children from neighbouhood kept their 5 pm visit regular. Param Poojya Sri Gurudev used to give them chocolates, even Ooty is famous for its homemade chocolates, children were always willing and cheerfully taking that as Prasad. One day before leaving Ooty they had a group photo shoot with Parama Poojya Sri Gurudev.

On 25th May, Muktananda Jayanti was observed with the chanting of Sri Gurugita. Prasad was distributed to all. Persons who came to take HIM back to Siddhaloka had Prasad with Lunch. Neighbours visited in the evening and they requested HIM to accept morning breakfast as their offerings, before HE leaves for Siddhaloka. HE gave HIS consent.

On 26th May HE left for Siddhaloka at 9 am and reached at about 4 pm. The Ashram inmates with other devotees, waiting for Darshan, were happy to receive HIM after two months. Children received home made chocolates of Ooty. Ms. Shailaja, entering the High School this year got the Gift with school stationery.

“MEDITATE ON YOURSELF, WORSHIP YOURSELF, HONOUR YOURSELF. YOUR GOD DWELLS WITHIN YOU,AS YOU, FOR YOU.”

The 105th Birthday of Paramahamsa Muktananda falls on 25th May 2013 (Saturday). Param Poojya Sri Gurudev SWAMI CHETANANANDA SARASWATI, Spiritual Head, Siddha Yoga Dham, commands all Siddha Brotherhood members to chant Sri Gurugita in rememberance of Paramahamsa, the bestower of Shaktipat and receive HIS benevolent Blessings.

Bangalore is very hot this year . It is said to be the hottest in last 8 years. Param Poojya Sri Gurudev expressed HIS wish to change the place. Accordingly Sri K.Ravi, Trustee, Siddha Yoga Dham, arranged a comfortable stay for HIM at Ooty, the ‘Queen of Hills’ of South India.

As per schedule HE left ‘Siddhaloka’ on 24th March at 5 AM, seated in ‘Pakshiraj’, with HIS staff and one more vehicle accompanying. On the way HE passed through the Mysore City and Bandipur Forest area. The passage was full of beautiful scenery and spotted deers, monkeys & peacocks were seen.

HE arrived Ooty and entered the newly constructed house. Flag was hoisted and the much awaited rains started pouring in, giving immense joy to all. In the first week HE visited ‘Dodda betta’ (Big mountain) , the highest peak in South India, the Botanical Garden and Sri Ramakrishna Mutt.

The day of SRI MAHASHIVARATRI was rarest of rare for the participants of Siddha Meditation Intensive held on 10th March 2013. Most of them narrated their experiences after Shaktipat Inititiation. Some of the experiences are as follows:-

* Everything came to mind like picture. In a moment I saw a colour (Blue Spark), again past life moments.

* After Swami ji touched me I found my body vibrate uncontrollably and getting very hot .

* After 2-3 minutes when Swamiji touched me I could see a very feeble green light(very light-yellowish green light) . Light was moving slowly towards left and disappeared. Just before Swami Ji asked to open eyes, I was feeling a bit light(weight wise) from inside. After 7-8 minutes Swamiji touched me I was seeing something like sun-rises.

* When Swami ji touched my fore-head I saw a flash of light on my fore-head. My body collapsed and I felt very happy. Many Siddhas and Rishis gave darshan around me. During meditation a ray of light came from Swamiji’s fore-head to my fore-head, I laughed at once.

* I had darshan of Shivalinga in between the mountains along with bright lights.

* My mind has come out of a chaos, it has become thought-free.

* It is a long wished dream come true for me. I saw varities of flowers in my meditation, and also had darshan of big caves.

* The experience was very nice. I felt the vibrations in my back-bone and I saw the image of Lord Ganesh.

* I felt vibrations when Swami ji touched me and I received strength.

* I saw a lightening between my eye-brows, kind of a spark for a very short time. Heaviness in my spine , sometimes up and sometimes down.

* After the tap first there was a fall of blackness which continued all along nothing but dark blackness. Thought of bird and after a while thought of a tigher crossed my mind.

* Could not feel ‘praan vaayu’ (breath) for sometime but no discomfort. Heaviness between eyebrows.

* Prostrations at the lotus feet of Sri Guru. I am blessed by your divine touch on this auspicious day Sri MahaShivaratri . I experienced intense peace and contentment. I pray for your grace to encompass all the beings of this Universe .
