Thank you for sharing the highlights of Gurumayi's Birthday Celebration on June 24 in Shree Muktananda Ashram with all of us through this exquisite slideshow. I really am experiencing the satyam, shivam, sundaram—truth, auspiciousness, and beauty—of the day. It shines on the face of our Guru, the faces of the devotees, and now I feel it inside. And as I look outside at nature, I see it there also.

As I watched every detail of the slideshow, my heart glowed with gratitude, reminding me that the Guru is constantly taking us toward the magnificent goal of perfection. Every slide, like a seed, was sowed deeply in my heart as a superb infusion of grace, encouraging me to perfect the areas in my life that still need to be polished.

Through this slideshow, I felt personally involved with the celebration of Gurumayi's Birthday—a truly joyous occasion. Seeing the love emanating from Gurumayi led me to start thinking of her as the Guru of love.
Over the years, my family and I often visited Shree Muktananda Ashram to offer
seva, and always we would experience a wonderful welcome from sevites who were full of love. It was so uplifting and was as much appreciated then as it is now!

As soon as the slideshow began, the Guru's energy washed over me and immersed me in love. When I saw Gurumayi in the Temple, it was as though I was there too. All of my senses awakened. My heart, my entire being was open to darshan. Love and bliss poured over me.

As I watched the slideshow of Gurumayi's Birthday again today, along with the exquisite music accompanying it, I felt I had just been on a very sacred pilgrimage.
Each image exuded divine love and joy. Gurumayi's face in the last image seemed to speak a thousand words to each devotee on the Siddha Yoga path.
Thank you for the
prasad!

Thank you for the cleansing tears, chills, and joy from the experience of
Birthday Bliss in the slideshow. Every moment from the flag waving in the sky, to Gurumayi's worship of Bade Baba, to her enjoying the fruits of the kitchen, to the heavenly sand
rangoli, to the chant, to the birthday song, to the luminous dance, to the glorious cake, to Gurumayi’s time with the children, to her beautiful smile, to the fullness of the moon—every moment was truly the essence of bliss. My heart is filled with love for my Guru and with immense gratitude for being on this path with my Siddha Yoga family.

I am full of gratitude for my Guru's love. I couldn't travel to be with Gurumayi for her birthday, and in her generosity she brought her birthday to me. I wanted to celebrate Gurumayi, and she celebrated me. I yearned for her
darshan, and she gave it to me on the website. Gurumayi answered my every prayer and surprised me with even more abundant blessings.
Thank you, my Guru, with all of my heart.

Watching this slideshow, I was drawn to look at all of Gurumayi’s devotees. You can see so much love in everyone’s face. I felt I could imagine exactly the love that each person was feeling while chanting with Gurumayi or standing in her presence.
I started thinking about all the people who are touched by Gurumayi’s love, and how many people all around the world, including those who’ve never met Gurumayi, were also feeling the love that I saw in the slide show.
