Re-United with Swami Shiv Mangal Tirith ji

I was dropped at the airport on Wednesday the 24th. After taking
my seat I put on some Om namah Shivaya on my ipod and shut my eyes. Instantly tears burst into my lips with the image of swami ji in my consciousnesses. Just hours from now I will see him.
this is the part where many people who are not on a similar path will be able to really understanding my experience. What is a similar path anyhow? I need to warn you all that I am not part of a cult, nor am I doing anything religious. Swamiji performed an ancient blessing on me 17 years ago called shaktipat initiation. This is a scientifically studied as well as spirituality. It is also know as Kryia yoga, or kundalini yoga. What happens now. The chakra wheels after initiation spin quite a bit faster than then would without. Ther are only 2 ways to get your kundalini moving one is to seek out a guru who is qualified to do it or 2 do tons of hatha yoga and in about 12 years it will happen. Since my initiation 17 years ago life has taken quite a different path.
Now that I have experienced the worst of human nature on all levels, I have made a decision to live for love and not the other. Of course the other will happen, but now I am disconnected from it as well as the highs, bringing me into an appreciation fro the middle ground, this is the place where truth meets souls, light erases the dark and the infinite is present. This is a place that swami ji helped me to find within my self and there is only one suggestion from him. Keep meditating.
As i left the plane, I felt quite relaxed. Even though I had no idea where or how I would find him. i trusted that he said he would be there and he was. He first offered me his hand and shook it and touched his foot. I felt the energy STRONG! We went to another devotees house where we would stay the next few days.
Upon arriving, we would sit in the living room with Swami ji and other devotees. I immediately went into a grace filled trance. I was somewhere deep inside connected, burning, empty and full. I was sitting at the lotus feet of GuruJi! Guruji doesn’t say much. Many devotees come and ask questions and his answers are usually a nod or very short. I am too a center of attention since i am the only westerner in the house. Again I am trance back deep inside. Wow, I have a complete understanding of this path now and I am here to thank guru ji for it. We will sit at his feet for the next few hours and then to bed. I felt is was ot necessary for me to sight see, but since i have never been here and Mumbai is huge I asked what to do during the day. I told guruji its most important to spend time near him. He said please go to the museum, its your profession. So I decided the next day to go.

Derek- this is so beautiful to hear about time spent with your Guru- but will you share more? Now you are in dharamasala I think. What a journey you are having! I am so happy for you. Maybe because of your generous heart, it really feels like I am having this experience too- through your stories. * Thank you* & Love to you!
