Dear Merciful Devotees and Disciples

[Guest guest]

Dear Devotees,

 

Please help me with this question.

 

I would like to know what can a person who has not been intiated do,

what sort of pratices and where should they begin?

 

Im 20 years old and have been learning about sanatana dharma for 4

years, It feels like i have an extreme connection to Shree Ma and

Swamiji and would like to receive initiation but I will not be able to

for some time.

Swamiji says that a person should " take initiation " . I understand that

to mean that I decide how far I want to take his teachings after I have

exposed myself to them, while asking whatever questions about doubts

that I may have over what I have read/heard/seen. It is the way I

regard him that is important. To me he is my guru, because he is

teaching me the things that are close to my heart, he is teaching me my

path through his books and his manner and attitude and through what he

has given to me and so many others. He is my exemplar, my ideal of

what a true sadhu is. I may have many gurus over my lifetime and I

have had several. But Swami Satyananda has taught me so much more

than any other Guru. I hope that I will someday attain the grace of my

guru's and his guru, Shree Maa's feet.

 

Om Jai Kali Ma! Om Namah Shivaya!

Kumari
