I really appreciated the explanation of how the grace-filled practices of
darshan and
manan uplift and support a positive mind, as I tangibly experienced this during and after the live video stream yesterday.
In one situation in my life, I had been harboring negative thoughts and emotions, which I had tried to change with little success. During the “
Darshan and
Manan Gathering” yesterday, I prayed for grace to resolve this mindset. When this situation surfaced once again, I kept focusing on the words
shri and
yashas, and gradually my mind became calm and deeply peaceful.
Soon after the Gathering, a situation occurred that gave me instant understanding about the source of my negative thought pattern. I clearly saw how and why I had created the pattern and was able to appropriately change my response. It felt like a ball of tangled thoughts and emotions had been unravelled, accompanied by a big wave of freedom and joy, for which I am so grateful!

I woke up early this morning and began my day reading about the most recent “
Darshan and
Manan Gathering.” Through the splendid and wise discourse on
yashas and
shri, I connected myself to the most profound reason why I am living on this earth, which is to perceive the greatness and good qualities of my being in order to share this love with others.
I was also grateful to be reminded of the 25th anniversary of the start of Gurumayi’s Mahayatra, during which I participated in my first Shaktipat Intensive. Today I feel gratitude so strongly in my heart for all the
seva that has been offered so generously around the world, during these months and for decades before, to facilitate the dissemination of the Siddha Yoga teachings.
I offer my infinite respect, gratitude, and love to Bade Baba, Baba Muktananda, and Shri Gurumayi.

This was an exquisite program. My experiences of
darshan with Bade Baba were very profound. I felt Bade Baba's presence so strongly, as well as his grace and compassion. They filled me and my home. I feel that he is teaching me now. His presence is so strong.

The “
Darshan and
Manan Gathering” that my mother and I just participated in was so powerful. Because the Hindi translation was available, my family and I could clearly understand Swami ji’s clear and beautiful explanation of
yashas and
shri.
When we were invited to have
darshan of Bade Baba, I experienced a lot of
shakti, as well as
yashas and
shri, coming from his
murti. I felt that my whole body was filled with the power, blessings, and protection of Bade Baba. After the
satsang my mother told me that she too experienced the same power and blessings. At one moment during
darshan I felt I was in the direct presence of Bade Baba himself.
Now our whole house feels filled with Bade Baba’s
shakti. We are very grateful!
