After seeing all the wonderful images of Baba and reading his words, my heart is filled with deep gratitude, devotion, and much joy. I feel such intense longing for Self-realization and merging with the Blue Pearl, my higher Self. Remembering that the Guru, the mantra, and the Heart are one helps me to develop even more compassion.
It is my heart’s desire to rise to the state of freedom and bliss that the Guru experiences and lives in. I long to merge with the Guru and become established in that state. I feel so blessed right now that I can finally hear the mantra inside even when it’s not playing on a CD.
I feel blessed beyond measure.

In viewing this gallery of Baba's photos, I looked at each of them, reading Baba's words, and thinking about what I have received since 1985, when I came to this wonderful path through Gurumayi's guidance. Suddenly I was crying and a weight that had been on my heart that day lifted. Then I was looking at Baba's eyes, Baba's smile, Baba as he chanted… I never met Baba personally, but I know him through his words and through
shaktipat, this great experience I received.
Images began coming back, so present to my awareness, such as Baba's Samadhi Shrine in Ganeshpuri, and the beautiful experience I had at a Siddha Yoga European Retreat in Sitges when Siddha Yogis who had met Baba shared their experiences. Baba felt so alive, so close to me in my life.
Thank you so much, Baba and Gurumayi, for helping me to remember that your grace and your presence are always in my life.

Recently we've been babysitting our twenty-one-month-old grandson, who's been captivated throughout his short life by the photos and books of Baba and Gurumayi. He always seems to gravitate to them on the bookshelf and pull them out to gaze at Baba!
This week he can't seem to get enough of the photo gallery of Baba. Whenever he sees the computer, he asks for “Baba ji” and delights in each and every one of the photos. We are truly blessed to see that recognition in a small child's eyes, a deep knowing that transcends time and space!

What a morning this has been! I have been in total bliss since I began to view these photos of Baba. In doing so, I relived many moments that I experienced with Baba in Gurudev Siddha Peeth: chanting with Baba, walking behind him as he went around the gardens, watching him feed Vijaya the elephant with so much love.
At one point I felt as if Baba were standing right in front of me, and I could feel his love flowing to me.

As I looked at each one of these precious photos and read Baba's words, memories arose of the time I spent offering
seva in Gurudev Siddha Peeth thirty years ago. I can recall the sacred stillness of Baba's Samadhi Shrine and my experience of meditating there. The six months I lived in Gurudev Siddha Peeth are the touchstone I return to again and again in my life.

After viewing each of the images and reading Baba's words, my heart swells with emotion. I have longed for years to know Baba better, and these images give me a precious and sacred
darshan.
I offer my heartfelt thanks to Gurumayi, and, of course, to Baba for bringing the practices and teachings to my homeland many years ago. I feel so blessed!

When the pictures of Baba with the beautiful quotations came up on the website, I decided to memorize one of the passages each night before bed. I was surprised how easy it was to do this! Just by reading them aloud a few times, I could learn them, and was often able to recall them spontaneously throughout the next day.
I know that Baba's love was supporting me in this endeavor. Since I started doing this practice, my heart has been filled with such sweet love. My meditations have been full of peace and bliss. When I look at Baba's picture, I feel his presence smiling back at me. In this way, I have had a direct experience of the teaching that when you take one step toward the Guru, the Guru takes countless steps toward you.
Thank you, Baba. Thank you, Gurumayi, for making these wonderful pictures with Baba's words available to us all!
