Thank you very very much for these beautiful pictures. Snow goes together with special silence, and somehow I can feel it just by looking at the pictures.
I have never been to Shree Muktananda Ashram, but through the pictures the sacred abode feels more real to me. And it feels as if the whole Ashram—objects and buildings, nature and people—are smiling at me, embracing me, inviting me.
Thank you so much for this warm reaching out to me.
Happy, happy New Year 2013,

My heart is filled with yearning looking at the pictures of snow-covered Shree Muktananda Ashram. So beautiful. Thank you. I felt like I was there in the quiet beauty, looking at those wonderful sacred places. It made me think of times I have spent my New Year’s holiday there and how the quiet beauty would take me deep into my heart and make the slide into meditation as easy as a sled riding down a snow-encrusted hillside. Thank you so much for all the generous sharing.
And Happy New Year to the World Sangham.
Thank you, Gurumayi, thank you for sharing so much love with us and giving us so much to contemplate, allowing us all to visit with you!

How perfect to experience New Year’s Eve with a virtual visit to Shree Muktananda Ashram, decorated in its wintry wonderland. The holidays this year were made complete through these special gifts of images, shares, and teachings, wrapped in the sparkling spirit of the sevites, topped with the most exquisite bow of Gurumayi’s darshan. And then, even more blessings to ring in and resonate for the new year, with A Sweet Surprise.
Thank you, and a beautiful New Year 2013 to all!

Thank you for posting such beautiful pictures of Shree Muktananda Ashram. Actually, it is not snow we are seeing. Have a close look at these pictures. It is grace showering over there. And the sevites at the Ashram are really enjoying the grace. Look at their faces: how glowing they are!

Thank you for these beautiful pictures of Shree Muktananda Ashram in the snow. There is such beauty and stillness. The love and enthusiasm shows on the faces of the sevites and children. Serenity and joy welled up in my heart as I watched the slideshow. My favorite is the picture of the temple with the Guru’s flag flying on top. I saw the flag as the flame of the puja tray during Jyota se Jyota Jagao. It lit the flame of my heart with love and devotion. I eagerly await A Sweet Surprise tomorrow!

Seeing the snow covered Ashram, I was drawn deep inside and experienced being there once again. The stillness and peace reflected in the pictures brought me great joy! I offer my salutations and gratitude to Gurumayi and the Siddha Yoga path for this experience.

This winter season has been the best of my life; I have the good fortune to be here at Shree Muktananda Ashram as a visiting sevite. This week I saw snow for the first time in my life, what a wonderful experience! I was really excited, I felt just like a child! It has been a wonderful experience to offer seva shoveling outside of the buildings.
Thank you so much, Gurumayi, for this unforgettable experience!Puerto Vallarta, Mexico
I’ve just come back from preparing the hall at the SYMC in Perth with other devotees, for A Sweet Surprise Satang tomorrow. It’s 105 degrees farenheit here in Perth! We’re having a heat wave and it’s been so for the past week. To see the beautiful snow was so cooling to my mind, to my soul, so delightful! Seeing all the familiar and new shining faces and hearts of the sevites in Shree Muktananda Ashram burst open my heart. I am doing seva, you are doing seva, we are all joining together wherever we are in the world, as we prepare to receive Gurumayi’s message for 2013, to guide and uplift our lives.
