Hello namaste
Hello, I am new. I love everything I have read so far. It is unique to find truth discussed in a way that preserves it, rather than uses it, so to speak.
A little about me. I was raised Mormon. I have been a seeker all my life. I converted to Sanatana Dharma in 1999, when I received shaktipat from Swami Chidvilasananda. I was so privileged to have lived at Shree Muktananda ashram for three years. When it was time to leave, I asked my guru to remove illusion (what was I thinking? )
Since then my sadana has been INTENSE purification through intense karmas, i.e. the circumstances of my life have been very trying and EXTREME. But at last I am in a new place. Mostly one of "recognition," which is bliss.
It seems perhaps I have finally reached a point where I notice every time my ego tries to take credit for "attainment" (whenever possible, lol). Thus, I don't hand my merit and progress right to my ego. With moments where my ego falls away, I am beginning to realize there are many many seekers who have attainment, and almost all of them have a great deal more than my own dedicated but modest beginning.
I am looking forward to participating in HDF, thank you for taking a moment to learn about me. I appreciate it very much!
