Gangaji/Easier to read

[Guest guest]

This is the Gangaji/Eli post easier to read:

 

dear Leela Family,

 

I just returned from the Silent Retreat with Gangaji and

Eli in Baden-Baden, Germany. 580 people came together for a

week of deep realization. The silence was so profound at

times that I could hear the trees singing Silence.

 

Baden-Baden is a small town built around a healing spring.

It was first used by the Celts and then the Romans built

the first bath on that spot a few thousand years ago. I

have never been in the middle of a town where people can

come together, men and women, young and old, to bath as

naked babies in the holy water. All around were signs

reminding us to be silent. To sit silently with everyone in

the warm waters was a revelation.

 

Baden Baden is only a few minutes from the border with

France and after the retreat we drove to Strasbourg for

lunch one afternoon. It did not matter the country or the

people, it was clear that consciousness was seeing itself

and loving itself in all its forms.

 

The first day of the retreat we were issued passes that

gave us discounts at many of the local places, like the

baths. The passes had a picture of Gangaji and Eli and a

quote from Papaji on the back.

 

That first day two new books came out in German and debuted

at the retreat. One is the German translation of Gangaji's

newest book, Freedom and Resolve. The other is called the

Flame of Freedom, and is a book of interviews and photos of

Eli and Gangaji. A three tape video set of the interviews

was released as a companion to the book.

 

Gangaji and Eli worked so beautifully together. With full

love and respect one would sometimes complete the other's

sentence. They played together and with us and revealed the

teaching in the form of two humans in loving partneship.

Many people were moved to see a man defer to his partner in

loving devotion. Gangaji's deep purity and Eli's lazer

clarity worked so well together in exposing the lies and

revealing the truth.

 

One evening we all chanted Ramana's holy name for over half

an hour. This was a new experience for me and for many of

the people in the retreat. The bliss of Ramana broke open

so many hearts that evening in a completely unexpected way.

 

It was my first time in Europe but it seemed so familiar. I

have been in all of Gangaji and Eli's retreats together but

it all seemed so new.

 

I hope you find this sharing useful.

 

love, kris
