The Guru Comes To Town.

For the past several weeks I have traded my morning meditation for a brisk walk in an attempt to strip the a few more pounds of fat from my body.  When the awareness was there I also used the walk as an opportunity to observe the mind in action.  I can tell you that this can not replace seated meditation, at least at my level, as there are too many opportunities for distraction.  So moving forward I am making a commitment to wake up earlier for meditation prior to the walk.  A timely commitment, as my meditation teacher, has arrived from India for his annual summer tour of the west coast. I was introduced to Yogiraj Gurunath Siddhanath two years ago and initiated into Kriya Yoga by him.  Of him I will say this, if you have an opportunity to be in his presence, take it.  He is the real deal. Here is a taste.
