In the early morning hours of April 22, Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan charged the Golden Ball of Grace with their Divine Power and placed it in the Oneness Temple. Like a giant machine, the Temple was activated, pouring the energies of awakening out into the world. The energy here has been simply wonderful.

 

At 8 AM in the morning the people began to come for Amma and Bhagavan's darshan in the Temple. We were expecting 1.5 million visitors over a one week period, with approximately 120,000-200,000 passing through each day. There was a temporary tent city built with wells for water, food, electricity and toilet facilities for up to 200,000 per day. But, by noon 500,000 to 600,000 people had arrived with perhaps as many as 1,000,000 planning to be present on the second day. No one could have anticipated it.

 

So, because of the size of the crowd, for the safety of all involved, the official ceremonies have been postponed, but the Temple has been activated and the energies flowing forth from it are astonishing. I'll share my own experience as a example.

 

At the GC2 campus, across the street from the Temple, we were led in a special mediation and prayer by the Dasas to receive the descent of Grace which is symbolized by the Golden Ball of Grace which Amma and Bhagavan have placed in the center of the Temple. I saw my God! It was one of the most profound visions and direct experiences of Christ of my entire life, absolutely unlike any I have ever had before.

I saw my crown chakra glowing like a mountain of pure bright gold. Out of it burst forth and rose upward into the heavens the most beautiful and awesomely radiant tree of pure gold, the Tree of Life, with its golden branches reaching out in all directions, penetrating the universe. The trunk of the tree was a Man of pure gold, in a golden robe, with the face of a lion, and out of his mouth flowed the Word of Life. It was Christ, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, who is my Antaryamin (my Divine Indweller), and it was also me! He is the Vine; we are the branches. In spite of my feeble efforts to share this with you, His countenance and Presence were truly indescribable.

Whew!... I prayed that this same Grace would flow to all of you, that you might behold your own Divine, whether that is Christ or AmmaBhagavan or Yahweh or Buddha or Allah or Krishna or Pure Consciousness or the Light or whatever! This is the vision of Sri Amma and Sri Bhagavan, that those who come to the Oneness Temple might behold their own God... and all this happened to me across the street from the Temple! So, I know that you could experience this Grace wherever you are. There is no distance in the Spirit.

 

You could turn your attention toward the Oneness Temple, right now, and ask to experience this Grace. To prepare yourself, you could do Chakra Dhyana or some other meditation to clear and raise your energy. Then, keep your eyes closed, and invoke the Divine Presence in whatever way is comfortable and natural for you.

Let your attention be on your crown chakra (the center of the top of your head) and pray to receive the descent of Grace which is symbolized by the Golden Ball of Grace. which Amma and Bhagavan have placed in the center of the Temple. Then, just relax in meditation, or you could even lie down in Shavasan for 20 minutes or so (on your back with your arms at your sides, palms facing skyward, keeping your eyes closed). Let me know what happens.

 

Since darshans with Amma and Bhagavan became impossible to conduct in the Temple itself, today we went to the Oneness Temple in Nemam, to Amma's ashram, where we had the most blessed darshan with Amma and Bhagavan! We meditated and prayed with Amma and Bhagavan and received their Blessing for ourselves and for the entire group we represented by proxy, offering our prayers and yours to the Divine.

 

Tonight a small group of us met with Acharya Sri Anandagiri on the lawn back at the GC2 campus of the Oneness University. The good news is that we will be able to enter the Temple again in a few days!
