Someone mentioned Hawaii today and my heart sank. I started feeling really worried, and I can't explain why.

At least I can take it as a sign to pray for the people there, and pray for peace.

Really I would like to pray for peace with all nations and sectors of the world... Though I am not always aware, I know the rising tensions are that we have not been this close to nuclear war in a while.

Digital warfare, chemical warfare and nuclear- are all very real possibilities right now creeping their way to our doorstep. Many people are suffering.

....

Brother Turiyananda once told me that the Chinese would attack us with submarines, and that Paramahansa Yogananda had told that to a monk. I asked Brother Bhaktananda if he had ever heard the Master say that and he replied No he had not himself heard that. Returning to Brother Turiyananda, he responded; “If Brother Bhaktananda told you that, you listen to him. He is the highest monk on the hill.” But I do remember the way Brother Bhaktananda said it with a rise in his voice that “I” didn’t hear him say it.’. Curiously Brother Bhaktananda twice made the comment in Sunday church services that if the U.S. was attacked’ the aliens would come to our aid.’

I really can’t sufficiently or accurately describe how it felt to be around such people. They were so sensitive and could sense your thoughts, desires and feelings. They seemed to know what you were going through without explanation. Even to the extent of knowing your relationships with others. Brother Bhaktananda knew all about my relationship with another woman, with very little I had to say, and Brother Turiyananda commented about the people I brought to church service. I look back and think to myself…. What incredible empaths. It seems much more important today to be able to show such understanding to and about others. It’s a definite expression of spiritual awakening and empathy.

I've had the great fortune of meeting Brother T once in my life, and it was the first saint I was allowed to meet in this life on a personal and intimate level. It is hard to describe how I felt. It was during my only visit to Lake Shrine in LA, back in the day. Brother T passed on, only 10 days after taking his time for me in a very personal chat that took almost one hour. I still keep cherishing that moment today.

Here are some nice audios and video-recordings with pictures of Brother Turiyananda, for anyone interested:

Thank you 🙏 so much. I was blessed to be in his presence for many years. You have to scroll down in your  post here to hear him speak. But just to hear his voice again reminds of the power of his divine presence.

Yes. Same goes for Brothers Bhaktananda and Anandamoy whom I've been able to listen to and receive their blessings during lectures and services, back in around 1990-91.

Just yesterday, I again listened to an old 1993 lecture of Br. Bhaktananda on the SRF website, which brought up some fond memories in me, too. 🙏

Did you ever come to the states? Or did you attend services in Europe?
