Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Hi Anna, I wish to apologise if it appears that I am speaking for you in my post to Tony about the Inner Guru - my intention is to acknowledge the Inner Guru - from your earlier posts it is very clear to me that you speak for yourself. I feel a resonance in what you say re: Yogananda because I have those books as well and they touched me deeply.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 .. I feel a resonance in what you say re: Yogananda because I have those books as well and they touched me deeply. Love, james James, your love resonates in each email. Frankly, I am lucky, I don't get all the email because some of it bounces because of so much mail, so, I missed that one - laughing - nice little present - Love, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 21, 2001 Report Share Posted June 21, 2001 Dear James and Anna, Paramahansa Yoganandaji is my beloved Gurudeva. I first became a Kriyaban in 1980. I could never explain the endless gifts he has given me. He is with me always. He is my love. I have heard many people over the years complain about and criticize him, but it cannot touch me. I KNOW who he is. And I am happy you know him and love him too. With Love, Mazie Dearest Mazie, Now I know why your poetry has resonated so beautifullly and deeply with me since the very first time you posted, tears, bellisima! You have a heart of gold. Love, Anna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
