Today is the feast day of Bede Griffiths, also known as Swami Dayananda - my Guruji.
He ran the Saccidananda Ashram, Shantivanam, a Christocentric Ashram, in southern India for most of the second half of the 20th century before his departure from his body on this day in 1993.

Pray for us Dayananda.

Come along to this FREE online day in June and discover a deeper sense of reality to live in in your everyday.

Amen! And before you complain that Ram Dass wasn’t a Christian, show me where this statement contradicts the Gospel. I’ll wait. 😇

In the story of Palm Sunday we are reminded, by the entry of Christ into Jerusalem, to approach life without ego, to set aside our ego in all we do to truly embrace spiritual enlightenment. The humility of Christ in this story is an example to us all to follow and embody.
Happy Palm Sunday!

Today I am at Saint Columba's House, Woking, teaching the final of 4 seasonal days on the Divine in Nature. Today - Winter.
Looking at teachings of the Divine in nature in Christian history, and what Winter can teach us. Looking at being well rooted, and facing the dark and harshness of life.

Part 3 of 3:
Down the stream:
There's a natural flow to life. Go with it, don't fight it.

Merrily, merrily...:
Don't take life too seriously, enjoy it.

Life is but a dream:
This physical reality is only a passing aspect of a greater existence. Make the most of it, don't waste it.

Part 2 of 3.
Row, row, row:
You need to put some effort into life, but not over do it.

Your boat:
Just your boat. Don't worry about other's boats, or what they are doing, just concentrate on your own.

Gently:
Take it easy, don't over do the effort, especially not due to others' expectations.

Part 1 of 3.
There is a deep and profound poem which can help you balance and regulate your life and reduce overwhelm.
Explanation in other posts.
The poem is this:
Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily, life is but a dream.
