A Day of Mantrams for Peace and Healing: Sunday, June 28
Our 99th Birthday Gift for Christine Easwaran
We invite you to join us in a day dedicated to peace and healing in the world by keeping our mantrams going as much of the day as possible and if you care to even as you fall asleep. This will be our best possible gift to Christine for her 99th birthday.
On June 28, let’s all participate together in the BMCM Satsang Live. We will start writing the mantram at 9:40 before the program begins at 10 a.m. You can find your time zone here. We will make BMCM Satsang Live the centerpiece of our mantram day, and we invite you to join us.
On June 29, Christine’s actual birthday, feel free to write in here on the eSatsang if you would like to share reflections about your mantram day. We’ll share your impressions with her!
Continuing our study of the new digital-only issue of the Blue Mountain Journal, this week we will read Easwaran’s article “Nine Tips for a Crisis,” pages 12-21. In the article Easwaran says, “when we have an overriding goal, we find that many of our problems fall away of their own accord. Everything falls into perspective: we know what to do with our time, what to do with our energy, and it is easier to see all the little choices that confront us every day.”
This week, continue your effort to imitate Easwaran’s evening routine by turning off other media, reading the Blue Mountain Journal for a few minutes, and then going to bed repeating the mantram.
Read this article as if you and Easwaran are having a conversation. What advice does he give you, and how can you apply it this week?
As a spiritual bonus this week, we are pleased to share a five-minute video talk by Easwaran. In this talk, he refers to one-pointed attention as “divine education” which “gives you the greatest secret of learning how to learn.”
