Everything Bodhi teaches reflects in his own Beingness. His words are profound but his actions speak louder Lessons, modeling how to live a humble, holy life. He truly walks the Words of his Beloved Gurudev, Agartala Maa and Baba Lokenath! His warm smile, no nonsense approach, meditative countenance, insistence and encouragement ever teach us Self-reliance, integrity, moral values, Truth, Love and compassion. Always serving humankind, from underprivileged kids to corporate management, he is the instrument of his own Teachers and the Ascended Masters, bringing us both his Grace and Blessings and Their’s! He is the epitome of non-Doership and humility; to truly Be in his Presence is to finally find Home.

This past week I asked Baba a question about how to respond to a dear friend who was dying and very concerned that she had lost her faith. Baba’s advice was very helpful and profound, and it seemed to really make a difference to my friend and she died in peace. Thank you, Baba, for your heartfelt and wise answer to my question.

The human being I am today with all the good saatwik habits, good health, etc. is the result if the holy Grace of a Father and Guru in One whom we lovingly call as ‘Bodhi Baba’. When I had first stepped into Lokenath Divine Life Mission a few months back, I had been completely unaware of the most divine feeling in all of the universe and about my life’s very purpose. He has opened my eyes, dragged me into the path of Light and Grace transforming my life in its entirety. I am glad that I found Bodhi Baba as my Guru; he’s not only the Father to me, but to thousands of people whose lives he has changed.

It has been around a year that I am connected with this ashram. Lokenath Divine Life Mission has brought a vast change in me. I turned from a very much negative person to one who is living a healthy lifestyle and is now satisfied with himself. From yoga to satsangs, fellowshipping to realisations, LDLM has sprouted that seed within me which Bodhi Baba watered himself, with Baba Lokenath being the sun, and this ashram along with its lovely youth group: the earth or very foundation which has helped me thrive in my personal life as well. The aura that resonates from Bodhi Baba and the beautiful mandir of Baba Lokenath is bound to change your perceptions for the better, only if you are ready to be open-minded.

Being with Bodhi baba and living out what he shares and teaches is about experience and not words.  However, I am happy to say here how grateful I am to get to be with Baba when he is in town and through his daily teachings, which are always such a loving combination of tender and tough, though somehow never with judgement, always speaking directly to the inside of me with messages that help right in the moment and continue to reverberate if one chooses to live them.  I am grateful to you Baba.

had the good fortune to meet Bodhi Baba when he came to Chicago to talk and lead breathing and meditation at Lurie Children’s Hospital years ago. Then we got to know each other better when Baba and Sue visited InterimExecs and we talked about how to build the website and daily emails. I cherish his Moments of Mindfulness emails and as I write this I am reading #3,185! Bodhi Baba is a wonderful blessing in my life every day. His words and presence are just pure love, practical, kind, aware, always meaningful.

বাবা, দীক্ষা মন্ত্র--অপূর্ব ।এত গভীর তত্ত্ব যে এত সুন্দর করে বলা যায়- অভাবনীয় ।কোনটাকে best বলব চেতনার সাধনা শুনে মনে হয় এটা বাবার সব থেকে ভাল,count of blessings শুনে মনে হয় আ হা কি আকুতি ভরা আবেদন।গুরু পূর্ণিমা শুনে মনে হয় এ যে অন্তরের কথা।দীক্ষা মন্ত্র শুনে মনে হয় মুক্তির সাধনা।সবই সেই তমসার ওপারে জোতির্ময় দিকে নিয়ে চলেছে। what can I give- মনে মনে সকলের মঙ্গল চাওয়া যে একটা act of giving আগে ত ভাবি নি। কতো মানুষকে আঘাত দিয়েছি কথায়,বোধি বাবা কেন তোমায় আগে পাইনি ? তাহলে ভগবানের বাগানে আর একটা ফুল হতো। প্রারূব্দ্ধ ।না চাইতে ভগবান এত দিয়েছেন।gratitude জানাবার তাগিদ ই অনুভব করি নি, তবে বাধ্য মেয়ের মতো তোমার কথা শুনে আরম্ভ করতে দেরী করি নি।প্রণাম নিও। ভালো থেকো।
