My dearest Russian friends.
I easily see all of your beautiful and thoughtful faces as I write, just as if we were still together and sharing on the deepest matters of yoga and of personal life, but, even more wonderful was, and is, the sharing of the love of friendship that made us all smile with each other, and with the prospect of ever more sharing and mutual inspiration in the months and years ahead.
I see the couples with the partners sitting close to one another, drawn together by attractions and choices that are, in actuality, the glue of this entire Universe, the devotional magnetism that is Yoga, Way to Union, that is Life itself. I see the single people, some of whom have taken vows of brahmacharya to awaken the depths of yoga that millions and millions of yogis,, over thousands of years, have discovered and invite us to discover today. I see other single people, who long for partners and marriage and family, to grow with from youth to old age, only becoming more deeply in love with one another and with life itself.
Both of these paths, single sacred brahmacharya and couples romantic love grihasthya, have many challenging moments. I invite you always, when you wonder if I can be helpful, that you feel free to email me your questions. I will answer as best as email allows. But, more importantly, we will be staying in communication with each other. Indeed, email me if you are having great and wonderful experiences! Why not! Life is fleeting and love and questions are good to share together.
Svetlana has joined with Natalia Novak and others to help us create that future I just mentioned. They are creating a spiritually-attuned dating website to help the romantic searchers meet one another and then give them support in getting to know one another and strengthen their new love so that it will have a chance to blossom into a roaring fire of love and creativity. They are planning "mixers" with "get to know you" exercises that are always attuned to the depths of tantra, beyond common psychology and dating chit-chat.
We will have seminars and trips to India and to California and elsewhere, to nourish us all with good times and adventures together, Some of you might want to become Marriage Counselors to help others. We will have trainings for you. We will have Marriage Ritual Ceremonies for those who would like to celebrate their growth into marriage, and Birth Rituals to honor your families as they bring new life into existence in the Great Mystery. We will have Memorial Ceremonies to honor those who have passed away into another Great Mystery. Svetlana will hold her highly inspirational and love-filled yoga classes that embrace many paths of yoga, and the unique spontaneous yoga that emerges from Within.
In April, I will host a couples enrichment week in California that combines a vacation with morning couples group exercises on admiration, problem-solving, and pariyanga (romantic love tantra). The rest of the day will be free for exploring the amazing San Francisco area.
In June, we are planning a ten day trip to Puri, India for the magnificent four thousand year old Chariot Festival that symbolizes the awesome, moment-to-moment Creation of the entire Universe, as huge 65 ton chariots roll down winding Puri streets and four million people celebrate with amazement and reverence. We will also visit Goddess temples of great power in nearby villages and meet with saints and make new Indian friends.
We will also, of course, have seminars to continue this path together and pass on these deepest of teachings not just for the years ahead, but for many generations into the future, as our contribution toward the grand manifestation of the enlightened world culture of the One World Family, where all the mysteries of Kundalini and Divine Marriage and Family Life manifest everywhere. One brahmacharya yogi at a time, one happy couple and family at a time.
So, please email me immediately ;>) with your experiences and questions....I look forward to interacting with each of you in your joys and your challenges.
Love and Om Namo Shivaya,
Stuart
