Jnaneshwar’s Gita, a rendering of the Jnaneshvari by Swami Kripananda, is available in the Siddha Yoga Bookstore.
I felt very moved when I read the words to the
bhajan Aji Soniyatsa Dinu this morning. The words, “The Lord revealed himself to me in my own heart,” resonated with an experience I had a few months ago while chanting.
At the end of the chant I felt a tingling in my body at the base of the spine. As this rose up within me, my heart opened and I felt love come pouring out. This love flowed out to the people in the room, to my family, and the whole world beyond. It was a beautiful, extraordinary experience. I didn’t know I had so much love in my heart!
Then on Sunday, March 22, I recited
Shri Guru Gita with other Siddha Yogis across the world via live video stream. At the end, my heart again opened spontaneously and I allowed it to pour out into the world. What a beautiful ending to the recitation that was, as I truly wanted to give love to the world in the current circumstances.

This
abhanga by Jnaneshvar is just bursting with joy and that’s how I feel as I dance around the house and garden, while singing the words. "The clouds are opening their folds and showering their nectar down upon me" describes for me the abundance of grace that Gurumayi is bestowing on us with right now. Feeling that grace and knowing she is always with me no matter what happens—how can there be anything for me to worry about? In these strange times it is amazing that I feel so happy, so safe, so loved.

Truly, this
abhanga by Jnaneshvar Maharaj beautifully expresses the blessings we receive from the presence of saints in our lives. I have felt fully blessed by the recent presence of Shri Gurumayi so generously given to us via the Siddha Yoga path website.
This time in my life is unique and has become sacred. I wish to regard it as my precious spiritual retreat. My days are now adorned with chanting, reading the Siddha Yoga teachings, reflecting on them, and sharing with others about them. My cup is overflowing with the Guru's love and grace.

I'm grateful to receive the beauty and teachings of Jnaneshvar Maharaj's
abhanga. I have come to know, as the poet saint sings, that “to be in the company of saints is the most precious of blessings.”

From the very first word expressed here in this song, I was filled with joy and light. It is night here now, but the golden light within me has colored the room with its luster.
