What a blissful video, with a chant I love and have been practicing for a long time. When I saw the lotus necklace on Bade Baba’s
murti, I felt it was a message for me to be like a lotus.
Even though I live in this “muddy” materialistic world, I can focus on practicing gratitude towards the Guru, and in so doing, make my heart and life as beautiful as a lotus.

Bade Baba has been a powerful presence and company in my life. Whenever something seems to be going wrong or is missing, no matter how big or small, I go to his images and photographs. I read and listen to his exact words. They are always brief, yet full of comfort, and they always provide me with precise guidance and help.

Gazing out my kitchen window this morning, I saw my neighbor, a beautiful young mother who is seriously ill. Spontaneously, I began to pray to Bade Baba for her well-being and for her family. As I prayed, I was filled with a powerful, deep emotion, and I knew with certainty that Bade Baba had heard my prayer.
This prayer flowed into a sense of gratitude for Bhagavan Nityananda's immense grace. I went to the Siddha Yoga path website, where I found this exquisite video in which the images of the clouds remind me that Bade Baba is one with the universe. Contemplating my experiences of the prayer and the video, I saw that the healing vibrations of divine love flow eternally through Bade Baba into all of creation.

As I watch and listen to
Koti Koti Pranam, the delicate and sweet music of the voices and instruments melts my heart, and then my senses seem to blossom like flowers.
I feel I can see waves of Consciousness spreading out from Bhagavan Nityananda to the entire universe.

This perfect introduction to Bade Baba's Punyatithi is breathtaking, with such exquisite images of Bade Baba sitting in his Temple. My ears are awake to Gurumayi's voice, my eyes are astounded at the splendor before me. I am overwhelmed by the sheer magnificence of it all—the flowers, the gold leaves, Bade Baba in rich deep blue, with a lotus pendant on his chest and floating lotuses in front of him. I am feeling all this emotion but strangely I am also very still. This is being in the presence of Bade Baba.

Because I had to be away from my elderly mother who was critically ill, I started to pray to Bade Baba with my whole heart. I asked for his blessings for my mother to be peaceful in the hospital all by herself. In my heart, I told my mother not to be fearful, and to see herself as the same light as Bade Baba.
Suddenly, I heard Bade Baba's voice from within, saying, "I am with her." With those words, I could almost sense a change in my mother's breathing to a place of easefulness, and I had a vision that she was bathed in a sea of light. Minutes later, while I was engaged in singing this chant,
Om Namo Bhagavate Nityanandaya, with Gurumayi, my sister called with the news that my mother had just passed away.
Upon hearing this, I felt very calm and still, as I continued to perceive Bade Baba's tangible presence all around me. I am very grateful for Bade Baba's grace and compassion. This affirms to me that Bade Baba indeed hears our prayers in the temple of the Heart.

No one has ever touched me the way Bhagavan Nityananda has. I never met him in person; he merged with supreme Consciousness even before I was born. But the day I saw his picture at my first Siddha Yoga
satsang, tears welled up in my eyes. I cannot describe the feeling that shook me then and which is still there, stronger than ever before. Such is the power of this divine being. In him I see the sun, the moon, the stars, the universe and Shiva.
As I write this, I feel the stirring in my heart. I see him smiling at me.

As I sat for meditation yesterday evening, a wave of bliss swept through my body, and I became aware of the presence of Bhagavan Nityananda. Later, when I went to the Siddha Yoga path website, I was delighted to see that the celebration of Bade Baba’s Punyatithi had begun.
As I chanted Om Namo Bhagavate Nityanandaya with Gurumayi and gazed at the golden murti of Bade Baba, my delight expanded, as well as a feeling of awe at the blessings that come through the grace of a great being at the time of their punyatithi.

What a beautiful invitation I received early this morning—to go on a pilgrimage to Bade Baba’s Temple with Shri Gurumayi chanting the namasankirtana called Om Namo Bhagavate Nityanandaya! As I entered the Temple, I felt a deep stillness and equanimity. It brought me so much delight and satisfaction to spend time with Bhagavan Nityananda. I offered my koti koti pranam to him.
