Los Angeles, March 27th, 2012- I attended both days and I am still in bliss from the memory of it all. The first day I was so excited and nervous, and I had spent so much time trying to figure out the perfect question to ask them. From before they even walked into the room, I felt their presence. It was amazing when they walked in, all my senses were intrigued. I loved the talk, It was all very enlightening, and I did get a chance to ask my question. The answer that I was given by Baba went straight to my heart.
Later that day my friend and I were doing the karma clearing. Before the karma clearing, we sat and had a very long conversation on ways of bettering ourselves to be able to control and use our minds to help us get to enlightenment. We also discussed how karma works, and things we can go to help prepare us for enlightenment. It was so amazing, I loved every word they said! The whole time I was just absorbing all the information and meditating upon it, trying to engrave every word in my heart. We then got to learn some breathing exercises and meditations to help balance our elements and dualities. After that we stayed in a state of meditation and got our karma clearing. During the karma clearing I think I saw into the future. Or maybe it’s just that I was in a state of no time.
We felt really good after and even went for a walk before bed, which was nice. Then I had a small meditation before bed to prepare myself for my mantra.
The following day was the day I received my Mantra, and it was the most beautiful day!
The sky out was full of clouds and it began to rain really hard during our lunch break, but my friend and I still decided to go get some food in the rain, well we got soaked because it was much much windier than we had expected! But by the time we made it back to the hotel drenched, we couldn’t stop laughing! We had so much fun, we felt like in some way it was just perfect for the occasion. When returning back to the room there was a leak in pretty much every room in that floor, and they were contemplating on whether or not to move rooms, frankly my friend and I didn’t mind, we ourselves were all soaked already! And then, Yogmata spoke up, and said that we would just do it there, Baba agreed when he walked in, and the ceremony continued.
I really do feel as though I have been born again, after receiving my mantra. During the ceremony I felt like never before, and saw visions of Krishna, and some symbols. It was just all so amazing, even the drive back home, the sky was all clear and the clouds looked heavenly with the rays of the sun shining through.
I am really grateful for my experiences and really hope that many people discover what I have.
Thank you so much, and I hope to make it in June. － L.G. in CA
