On January 27, 2021, Bhagavan Nithyananda Paramashivam gave Bhava Samadhi Darshan of Dakshinamurthy. 

This means that we all had the opportunity to experience the profound silence, teachings, healings and blessings that this deity bestows on all beings.

Dakshinamurthy sits under the sacred Banyon Tree of the Dhyanapeetham Bidadi Campus, Bangaluru, India and all residents of the campus have the opportunity to spend as much time in the sacredness of the Banyon tree and with Dakshinamurthy as they desire.

I have stayed at the Bidadi Campus many times and it was a daily ritual for me to walk to the Banyon Tree and connect with the ancient river of energy flowing within her, then to climb the base on which Dakshinamurthy sits and gaze at Dakshinamurthy face to face. It was known to me that He would answer prayers, listen to complaints, and radiate stillness and peacefulness.

Do you have songs in your head? Yesterday I listened to sea shanties being sung live from some talented acapella musicians. Although Sea Shanties are not something I go out of my way to listen to, I have heard that they are going viral on tic-toc, and that some Scottish lad just signed a contract with a big label. So when I was working on my website, a facebook notice popped up and indicated that a "Jack Salt" was going to be singing Sea Shanties Live.  

For the last few days I have had an image of some huge energy or creature rising slowly up out of water. As I "see" the image in front of my eyes, I also feel dancing in my body. The music that moves my arms, feet, hips and head plays in my mind until I take the time to hear it on a speaker. I never know what my favorite song will be - some inner DJ decides and presents it to me. Today, as music was building in my system, the vague image of a creature rising up coalesced into a picture of a whale breaching magnificently. I could feel its power in my muscles as if I was rising up.

​I have lived in some remarkable places.

Hey! This is the same outfit Brian was wearing when I met him on the plane. He must have known how it caught my eye the first time.

We were going to meet in New York City - exactly a year from the first time we met on Republic Flight 77. Getting to NYC was a true gift from Pegeen, Moira and others - just so I could see him again after four long months.
