Dear seekers,

It gives me tremendous joy to share with you that a Siddha Yoga teaching visit to Poland with Swami Umeshananda will be held in October 2017!

This historic event is Gurumayi’s initiative. Swami ji’s visit will be a wonderful expression of Gurumayi’s connection to, and love for, the Siddha Yogis in eastern Europe.

Gurumayi has given this visit the title:

Intention, Chanting, and Meditation

Participants will explore these three essential practices with Siddha Yoga meditation teacher Swami Umeshananda.

Gurumayi visited Poland in April 1996 as part of the Mahayatra Teaching Tour of 1995-1996. Many Siddha Yogis and new seekers from Poland and neighboring countries in eastern Europe attended the satsangs held there. For over twenty years they have studied the teachings and engaged in the spiritual practices that Gurumayi taught them in that first visit, and their efforts have born great fruit. Since then, new seekers have been introduced to the Siddha Yoga teachings, and the lives of many have been transformed through the power of grace and self-effort.

Under Gurumayi’s guidance, Swami Umeshananda has cultivated a connection with the Siddha Yogis in eastern Europe over the years—through teaching visits, correspondence, and retreats. I was one of the managers for the teaching tour in 1995-1996, and I am delighted to offer seva once again as Tour Manager.

Each one of us, wherever we live in the world, can participate in this teaching visit by offering our blessings as we recite Shri Guru Gita, chant, and meditate. And we can share our blessings and good wishes on the Siddha Yoga path website.

Intention, Chanting, and Meditation: A Siddha Yoga Teaching Visit to Poland with Swami Umeshananda will be held in Serock, near Warsaw, from Saturday, October 14 through Sunday, October 22. Each day there will be Siddha Yoga teaching and learning events, including Shri Guru Gita recitation, question-and-answer with a Siddha Yoga meditation teacher, chanting, and meditation. The Global Siddha Yoga Shaktipat Intensive in honor of Baba Muktananda’s Mahasamadhi will be held on October 21, 2017.

I invite you to share the news of this historic event with your friends and family.

Warm regards,

Kunti Giron
Tour Manager

    Last night, I dreamed that I was offering seva at the Siddha Yoga Teaching Visit to Poland. I had a vivid feeling of being there in the sacred atmosphere, experiencing the devotion of the sevites and participants and the inward focus, reflected outward as enthusiasm, gratitude, and exuberance. In the dream, I felt tremendously privileged to be there, and this feeling stayed with me upon waking. 
     
    Today, I feel strongly connected with the Teaching Visit. As I go about my tasks, I’m sending my love, good wishes, and blessings to everyone participating. And I find I too am receiving its blessings.

    At the beginning of October, I dreamt I was at the local Siddha Yoga meditation center, and there were lots of people and great enthusiasm. A Swami was visiting.
     
    When I woke up, I remembered the dream, and I felt so much freshness in my heart, gratitude, and expansion of light and love.
     
    Then, when I opened the Siddha Yoga path website and read the announcement of Swami Umeshananda’s visit to Poland, I felt great joy for the news and for the synchronicity of the dream.
     
    I am sending many blessings for all participants and all those who are offering their support to make this wonderful event possible.
     
    Thank you, Gurumayi, for such a beautiful gift.

    For the past few days, I have been offering my recitations of Sri Guru Gita in support of the Siddha Yoga Teaching Visit to Poland and all the participants and also the sevites who are doing everything possible to make it a great success.

    As a result, my recitations of Sri Guru Gita have been so very sweet.

    It is very special to me to read about this forthcoming satsang in Poland with Swami Umeshananda. When I heard Poland mentioned during A Sweet Surprise Satsang for 2017, I felt drawn to explore my connection with this country since part of my family comes from Poland. I even bought a Baltic amber stone pendant to remind me of my bond. So now, seeing the invitation on the Siddha Yoga path website to participate in this wonderful gathering, and also seeing map of where my Polish family comes from, feels   surprising and beautiful.
     
    I send my deepest wishes of joy and love to the participants and organizers of the Siddha Yoga teaching visit to Poland with Swami Umeshananda.
     
    Thank you, Gurumayi, for your love and guidance.

    Reading this news instantly filled me with joy. I am so excited for the Siddha Yoga students and new seekers in Poland and eastern Europe. Many, many blessings and good wishes to them all.
     
    Thank you, Gurumayi, for your love and grace.

    This news brings me great joy and a tingle throughout my entire being. In 1996, I offered seva on the Mahayatra Teaching Tour when it came to Lodz, Poland. I can clearly recall the profound longing and love that the Siddha Yogis and new seekers in Poland expressed at that time.
     
    I remember reciting Shri Guru Gita for the first time with the Polish participants, for many of whom it was a new chant. As our voices rose up in unison from our hearts, sounding the first notes in the simple hall set up specifically for the Tour, they created such harmony! For me, everyone’s love of the Siddha Yoga practice of chanting had unified our voices in the most beautiful way. That recitation of Shri Guru Gita still resounds vividly in my heart.   
     
    I’m thrilled to learn of this news and send many blessings and all my support for all those who will come together in Poland—and around the world via the Siddha Yoga path website—to experience this historic occasion.
