Swami Radhananda describes how knowledge is attained by using the will to take action. Spiritual knowledge grows into awareness of the subtle aspects of life. In this satsang talk given during the YDC in 2004, she refers to the three month course as a ‘”radical step along the spiritual path.”
AUDIO
Entering the spring season draws the mind to thoughts of gardening, blossoms, warm light. Find a comfortable position, close your eyes and allow Swami Radha to lead you through your own inner Body Garden.
REFLECTIONS
1. Go for a walk and activate your five senses by paying attention to spring bursting forth. How does this awareness affect you? Cultivate a sense of gratitude.
2. Write your ideals, then choose one or two solid action items related to achieving them. How can you do this step-by-step? Do you need to re-activate an old ideal?
3. As gardening season begins, what kind of seeds/intentions do you want to plant? How will you nurture them over the month?
4. How do you activate your devotion? Is there a different devotional practice you can do or a different time, focus or perspective that will refresh your practice? Choose from the eight limbs of Yasodhara Yoga—Hidden Language, Dreams, Reflection, Dance, Divine Light Invocation, Kundalini, Karma Yoga, Mantra. http://yasodharayoga.org/yasodhara-yoga/
5. How can you inspire yourself to express peace, harmony, joy, trust, faith, love?
6. Easter is in April this year. Swami Radha explored the topic of Resurrection in a video from Easter 1994 http://vimeo.com/61737549. She asks us to resurrect our memory of the Divine by asking questions such as the following:
Where did I come from?
Why was I born?
What is the purpose of my life?
How was I born of the Light?
Why am I gifted with Consciousness?
