IN HONOR OF MY TEACHERS
I offer my heartfelt reverence and deep obeisance to my beloved teachers, who have shown me profound truths and gifted me with courage and clarity in the pursuit of my path. My main teachers are my ancestors, of both blood and spirit, who have guided me through every step of the way and taught me about the wisdom of Gaia, bringing me into learning from Her. My Sat guru, Babaji Nagaraj—guides my soul’s journey, teaching me about my dharma. With equal gratitude, I honor the presence and wisdom of Sri M, Neem Karoli Baba, and Haidakhan Babaji, whose teachings illuminate my way. I am profoundly grateful to Bhola Banstola, whose dedication to his craft has profoundly supported my healing, uniting me more closely with the spirit of shamanic practices. Each of these teachers has opened doors to deeper understanding, revealing the unending path of learning that awaits, and I remain humbly receptive to their guidance.
Bhava or Bhakti is a spontaneous feeling that arises in the heart. If you think that Bhakti can be cultivated, it’s not possible. Anything you cultivate is not original. It is your own cultivation, your creation. – Sri M
