Karen expresses her thoughts in a wonderful poem:
NEW DISCOVERIES
Did you happen to know
I'm not so pure as the driven snow.
Driven yes, but not by choice
Compulsions are the way I hoist.
Squandering gifts too precious for words
Falling from Grace, back with the masses and herds.
So why you keep playin’ that tune so sweet?
The one that makes me shiver and shake
Out from my hole like a hungry snake.
And how many times will you take my hand
So tenderly guide me through this land?
Will you forgive my ignorance and blunders yet again?
For now I see it is only You I will be in the end.
Silly questions to a Being so beyond and akin
But I must know for this new found devotion blazes within.
What to give you in return?
Only me, but first I must burn.

Nanyar shares his most fruitful one year with Isha.
"Its not that I got enlightened, but I was initiated into a different dimension altogether. A dimension I failed to touch with all my scholarly reading, and half-baked meditation."

Chris shares his BSP experience with a poem.
"I come to sleep in your lap
Not for a minute do I think this will be an easy sleep of unconscious slumber
Full dissolving calls for potent alchemy
With thunder clapping and rain falling I am visited by the cosmic cobra many times.
She unfolds from my sacrum and pulses her way to my crown.
The powerful hiss surrounds me as my own hood unfolds and my spine reaches for the sky
Even in the midst of my dreams clarity strikes as the snake tightly coils my head and third eye, only to give way to having to probe her majestic mouth with my fear laden fingers
It is this final step and the culmination of the totality which offers me a peek into the bliss of our existence."

She felt worthwhile, valuable and loved

Ellen shares her experience of attending Shambhavi program with Sadhguru in Atlanta, USA.
"I am left with so many impressions........the smiling faces of volunteers, my first glimpse of Sadghuru; the delcious food prepared and served; the relay race at the park, hearing my own laughter and enjoying the comaraderie of my team; the challenge of keeping the volley ball up in the air; the playfulness of Sahdguru as he volleyed the ball in the air to help us earn points, so we could have our breakfast.
How this man draws people together is an absolute wonder and miracle to behold. In his own quiet way, he teaches us that we are all magnificent and if we choose to live a lifeless existence, then that is what we will have. It's impossible to describe how much love I felt in Sadhguru's presence; I wept as he walked by me at the close of the program. At the same time, how in awe I was of his steady manner, his inimitable patience and his ability to speak for hours on end in the same loving, clear way, and his uncanny gift of telling a story and making us laugh; how he caught us off guard (while some of us were getting drowsy) and distracted us -- in order to help us and to help each other!!!
At midday on Sunday -- my limbs aching and my brain feeling numb -- thinking I could not absorb one more word or move my body in any way - I decided I should leave, that I just wasn't up to this challenge. At the same time, I realized that this man would never have let me just walk out of there. He would have asked me where I was going, and then I would have crumbled. So, even without me leaving and him stopping me, I experienced what the outcome would be. I remained because I knew that Sadhguru would challenge me, and I knew that I would be no match for the love that he is. I'm so glad I stayed. I also realized what a pattern this has been for me; just before breaking through, I quit or let myself down -- not this time. I attribute this to the empowerment and love that Sadhguru imbued us with - it's inescapable. Believe me, if someone could and would escape an uncomfortable situation, it would be me. The only difference on Sunday was that someone in the room made me feel worthwhile and valuable and loved. Sadhguru's is to make the world a better place, person by person; then his love is truly limitless, and I've never run into that in a person before this.
Now a day later, back home in NJ this morning, all this is clear to me and if only one day later, after initiation, I have already realized what I now know, how much more incredible will the future be as I continue the practice. I cannot even fathom what the future holds, but I will tell you this - I am more excited right now than I have ever been about my life. I owe this to Sadhguru. Many thanks to all of you who volunteer your time and have devoted your life to his mission, which has become your mission. I bow to you and am honored to have been welcomed into the fold.
