waiting 300 years? for one "in the news"
Guests and All,

The rows and rows of chairs are moved
reshaped
something never seen before in richmond temple santuary
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
what wonders are possible after 30 years!
almost like one richmond woman devotee brought PY back to
life...
[a woman whose grand dad was with PY, maybe something survived these years from her grand dad in spite of the fear farm]
sitting/circled in his chair on sunday afternoons in encinitas
almost like Kamala was still the ordained minister of PY's at richmond....open, warm and unstructured

what is all this about?

for what i believe is the first time, an acsension sevice...we're talking any service....

in the front half of a temple, chairs are in a circle
deva and atman sat on the level with us in the circle, company men, almost human
deva in street clothes
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

what is this all about? after 30 years? a circle in the santuary
~~~~~~~~~~

now are we waiting 300 years for an annual financial statement, ?????????
~~~~~~~~~~


after a decade or more of a voluntary league appeals gathering our money and reportedly spending 100's of millions on property and 10's of millions on accounts and lawyers

~~~~~~~~~~`watching our money go occassionally to a few things besides million after million after million for lawyers~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`

waiting 300 years? |I

Can someone translate for me? There was a meeting at Richmond with chairs in a circle. A few monks there. They talked about finances?

Re: waiting 300 years? for one "in the news"
Lemme give it a whirl, KS. <Ahem> For the first time in 30 years there was a service at the Richmond Temple in which chairs were placed in a circle. Devananda and Atmananda were a part of the service and they sat with all of us in the circle. It was an ascension ceremony.

This was wonderful and might have been possible because of the efforts of a woman devotee whose grand dad knew Yogananda. It reminded soulcircle of the old days when Yogananda would sit out in Encinitas surrounded by devotees.

At this rate, soulcircle figures, we'll get public financial statements from SRF in about 300 years. (Sounds about right to me):rolleyes

Did I get it, soulcircle? If it was an ascension ceremony, was it possibly for Katherine? Was the woman to whom you were referring who made it happen possibly Katherine? Speaking of her, how has everyone handled her death? A suicide is a terrible thing, but to have someone you know die by jumping off the Golden Gate bridge is all the more shocking.

You got it just right
Guests and All,

Sometimes another person besides KS has mentioned needing a translation

It is so helpful to see you are right on the money.
Yes, yes, yes ...the ascension service was in a double circle of chairs with two monastics in the circles with all.....not pontificating from a pulpit on high

It was Katherine's ascension service, and the one I'm guessing created a circle [not Carol Katherine] for the first time in an official scheduled service in richmond since purchase [that i have ever heard of] in ' 74 was a former housemate for maybe 10 years of Carol Katherine's

We are still close to the sadness and shock of her suicide.
My wife was at the service and was glad for it.
Several knew Carol Katherine better than I and were in more recent contact with her.......yet my fond feelings were true,
and i have cried, as i have said she is loved by many.

I would have gone but for the second time my daughter and I rallied in San Fran [San Fran's was on Sun....because Sat the city hosted 500,000 in the annual Chinese New Year Party]
It was good to see all who turned out for a sane world, and empowering people

the first time all three of us marched in san fran...this time my daughter and two of her friends and three others rode in on bart to a great day.....a time to free the world from this period where until yesterday there was a 50-50 chance of nuclear bombs

i hope the nuclear option is behind us now, Daniel Elsberg spoke on radio these last two weeks saying that the moratorium over thirty years ago indierectly stopped Nixon [who at that time was in a 50-50 chance of using nuclear] from going nuclear...some of the news, documents and facts about this indirect impact on a president, in a similar moment over 30 years ago........some of this reasons for the indirect halting a president's finger on the nuclear cmae out only in this last year!
here's to hopin the criminals [both our emporor and the global oil industry behind him] don't bomb children for oil with our tax dollars

i would apologize for the diversion, yet world war three against poor nations [in this case a nation, half of whose population is 15 and younger] and against our freedoms at home is hardly a diversion

{two banners "blondes against a dumb war"
"if broccoli was iraq's biggest export, we wouldn't be here"}

laughing with you :rollin

isn't it true that many of us are here because in becoming strong within our lives, we found courage unending, "fear fears us"

~~~~~ one thing we are here about~~~~~~

~~~~~~is being "empowered," versus being sheep~~~~

circle

p.s. and YES YES YES, how did you miss it KS?, waitin 300 years for one annual financial statement from srf.......where OUR money goes

srf mails an annual financial statement to all
Guests and All,

this "In The News" entry is post dated

we are descendents of soulcircle writing you from california in 2303, three hundred years after his last post in this thread

in this year, a "long-awaited" one

in this year of 2303, we are all receiving financial statements of all of srf's holdings and their income and expenses of this last year

there is a hint that three hundreds years from now in 2603, they will discuss thrusts and efforts [to be humbly taken] to solve some of their more serious failings and problems,
the organization shows promise of being less structured, and more open and warm by the commencement of the coming millenium the year 3000

imagine ;)

NOT!!!
OOOPS,

It was not an unstructured, warm and open srf ascension service

Contray to what I have reported above

It was NOT a circle, it was a semi-circle

The monks did NOT sit among the people as mortals, the stood in front facing the semi-circle pontificating

I apologize and am very sorry

Am told that the devotee who she had lived with for 11 years said very little

So what i thiught had happened, never did

As far as I am concerned what hope i had is gone now for all time with such a closed secret non-fellowship

My only remaining interest in srf is my wife's involvement and friends there, and that it is a part of my past

Am asking for any ideas you may have about giving some entrance point for people [whether they read the AY, or come across kriya in any fashion] other than srf

other than ananda

like a site online with vast original writings of PY and asking jnanananda for example, if he knows of people on the west coast and around the country who are ready, free of any organization, unstructured, warm and open.....who will

~~~~WHO WILL GIVE KRIYA

onward!

other kriya teachers
I explored other kriya teachers. Some who lived on the west coast. I can't say that I would recommend any that I met. (a sad fact)

Re: other kriya teachers
What about Mother Hamilton's group or the Church of Self-Revelation in Maryland? And also Bob Raymer (sp?) up at Oliver Black's Golden Lotus retreat? I know nothing about these groups but they come to mind as places where people might look for getting Kriya from people in Yoganandaji's line. Does anybody here have any experience with any of these groups?
