"My Kingdom is not of this World" - Part 4 (and final)

Namaste. I have just returned from a delightful week in Western Orissa, India, re-discovering long-forgotten gems from the authentic Kriya Yoga tradition of Paramahamsa Hariharananda. I may expand on this in future posts.
For now, I am happy to let you know that the fourth and last installment of the podcast on the New Testament is now available. Come and find out the distinction beween Meditation and Contemplation in the East and the West, and re-discover the four steps of Lectio Divina--Christianity's original meditation technique.
Happy listening!
Love and blessings,
Swamiji

"My Kingdom is not of this World" - Part 3

In this third installment of our meditative journey through the New Testament, we come to the Gospel of John and the special emphasis that this Beloved Friend -- as Lord Jesus referred to him -- placed on the Logos.
Happy listening!
Love and blessings,

"My Kingdom is not of this World" - Part 2

Yes, I had to skip a week in my postings due to traveling to our little school for poor children in Champawat, in a very remote corner of the Himalayas where electricity is a myth, telephone connection a distant dream, and poverty very real. But more about this in a later post. Back in Haridwar, I have just posted the second installment of our meditative journey through the New Testament.
This week: The disciples gather their field notes; Four Gospels, four teaching styles; The Gospel of Matthew, manual of knowledge; The Gospel of Mark, manual of action; The Gospel of Luke, manual of devotion.
Happy listening!
Love and blessings,
Swamiji
