On July 28, 2007, an historic teleconference was held in celebration of Guru Purnima, the traditional Vedic / Tantric day of the year on which the Spiritual Master is honored and revered. Spanning the globe from across the USA to Europe, India, and Australia were participants from the communities of Master Charles (Synchronicity Foundation for Modern Spirituality), and Her Holiness Sai Maa (Humanity in Unity).
The teleconference theme was The Master Disciple Relationship, with each Guru giving an inspiring discourse on the value of this most precious opportunity for holistic empowerment or divine communion. From the Synchronicity Sanctuary in Virginia, Master Charles spoke lovingly of his relationship with his Guru, Paramahansa Muktananda, one of the most acknowledged eastern mystics of the modern era. He also related several classical stories that illustrated the role and value of the Guru:
The advent of a Guru in one’s life is like an explosion of an atomic bomb. It rattles you to the core – explodes you to a whole new level of experience.
Her Holiness Sai Maa spoke ecstatically from the ashram of Her Guru, Sathya Sai Baba in Puttaparthi, India.
The Guru is the manifestation of love in form at the center of our hearts.
Near the conclusion of her inspired discourse, she shared the actual experience of Sathya Sai Baba’s entrance into the ashram hall in which a great Guru Purnima celebration was unfolding in honor of her Guru.
In all, the Guru Purnima teleconference was a most blissfully inspiring experience for all who participated. |
