Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 >From SwamiJ's newsletter: Within the city of the body, there is the heart, and within the heart there is a little house. This house has the shape of a lotus, and within it dwells that which is to be sought after, inquired about, and realized. What then is that which, dwelling within this little house, this lotus of the heart, is to be sought after, inquired about, and realized? As large as the universe outside, even so large is the universe within the lotus of the heart. Within it are heaven and earth, the sun, the moon, the lightning, and all the stars. What is in the macrocosm is in this microcosm.... The Self resides within the lotus of the heart. Knowing this, devoted to the Self, the sage enters daily that holy sanctuary.

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2004 Report Share Posted May 26, 2004 Namaste Ardis, As far as I know, we havent had a newsletter in a while. I'd be curious to know what Chris is referring to as well.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 I believe "SwamiJ" is a different swami from "Swamiji" AKA Satyananda Sarasvati.

Guest guest Posted May 27, 2004 Report Share Posted May 27, 2004 Ardis, It's not Swamiji, it's Swami J., short for Jnaneshvara Bharati.
