I am so thankful for this beautiful darshan with Gurumayi. It makes me feel that the Guru really wants me to imbibe her Message for 2025. I am grateful to receive this transmission of grace, which is helping to keep me focused on my sadhana despite whatever challenges my mind wants to take so seriously. The preciousness of my time on this earth is becoming more apparent to me, and I’m certain it will continue to reveal itself throughout the year.

Such a beautiful picture of Gurumayi and what a great surprise! It sent a wave of happiness to my heart. To me, Gurumayi’s picture radiates the understanding and wisdom of how to be in time—fully human and yet timeless. It supports me to face whatever lies on my path with serenity and equanimity and to greet God’s world with love and the knowledge that I am the Self of all. May this insight light my path ahead.

Gurumayi’s Message brought me back to the present moment. I often think I need more time, but reflecting on it, I realize what I truly need is to spend time more intentionally and with clarity. For me, the best time is always the time in Gurumayi’s company, when I visit the Siddha Yoga path website and read her teachings and see her photos.
 
This morning, I had a dream with Gurumayi. I was waiting in line for darshan, and when I finally stood before her, we shared a big hug. In that moment, time seemed to stop. I was able to share so much with her, especially the changes unfolding in my life. It felt so real and so special.
 
I experience that Gurumayi always makes time for me. She visits me in my dreams, in my thoughts, through her photos and teachings, and through her love. I am deeply grateful to have Gurumayi as my Guru.
 
This year is already filled with amazing moments.

When I saw the golden topaz, my heart leaped with anticipation. I excitedly opened the page. Beholding Gurumayi, my heart became drenched with love. And these words arose: timeless beauty, timeless teachings, timeless love, time and eternity are my Guru’s grace.

As I receive the darshan of my beloved Gurumayi through this photo, I know I am “in the presence of time” and in the presence of God. My breath frees up and my heart is filled with love and gratitude. I feel so blessed to be here at this precious time when I can receive, study, and apply Gurumayi’s teachings not only for myself but also for the betterment of the world.
