Alter Americana from Dharma in Dallas

Today let us honor our precious teachers who remind us of our divine nature and guide us toward ultimate freedom!

OM BOLO SAD GURU BHAGAVAN KI, JAI!

“The aim of yoga is to realize that we are all connected.  We share one heart, one consciousness, and one Divine Source.  Yoga’s method is to provide us with the experiences that help us grasp this.  To realize that we are all connected, it is helpful first to connect with another person.  In the yogic tradition this connection is experienced through a relationship with a guru, a teacher who facilitates the awakening of unitive consciousness.  By acknowledging a guru, you connect to those who have trod the path before you.  In doing so, humility dawns and awakening is
possible.”    -Jivamukti Yoga Book

“The guru tradition is based on humility and appreciation. The respect a student gives a teacher is not for the teacher’s benefit; it benefits the student to acknowledge and bow to another because this opens the connection to the Self within the student. It may help to think of the Guru as a force rather than a person” -Jivamukti Yoga Book

I bow to the lotus feet of Sri Sharon-ji, Sri David-ji

as well as Sri Dharma Mittra, Manorama Devi and Edward-ji Clark-ji!

Thank you for everything!
