Yogacharya Miguel Bermudez returns to his true home

This morning at 2 am a very dear disciple and devoted Yogacharya of our Baba Hariharananda took his last earthly breath and returned to his eternal home to be reunited with his beloved master.

Yogacharya Miguel Bermudez had been initiated in 1975 in Bogota during Baba's second visit to the West, and had devotedly kept up the flame of Kriya Yoga burning in Colombia ever since, despite many problems and difficulties.

Miguel Baba was responsible for bringing back Kriya Yoga to Colombia when he invited Swami Prajnanananda and myself to do a program in Bogota in 1998 -- the first in 22 years!

Baba empowered Miguel Baba to be a Yogacharya a few years later, and he assumed his role with greatest care and devotion, all the while remaining in the closest touch with Gurudev Baba Hariharananda.

To honor this great soul and pillar of faith in the Latin American Kriya community, I am humbly requesting all centers to kindly inform their members and place his picture (which you will attached) on the meditation altar and hold a special service of prayers and puja for him.

I would like to also extend an invitation to all Bogota kriyavans and all people who loved him and have been touched by him to join me for a special celebration of Miguel Baba's service to the cause of Kriya Yoga next month (early July) when I return to Bogota.

Miguel Baba's life was and is forever intimately associated with the great mission of Gurudev Baba Hariharananda and the history of Kriya Yoga.

I humbly bow to this great soul and pray to God and Gurus to shower him with infinite Grace and Blessings forever more. Amen.

God bless you all.
Humble,

The Eternal Wisdom Alliance is born!

My shiny souls,

Loving greetings from Madrid, Spain, where we are having our first ever Kriya Yoga program! People are literaly driving from the four corners of Spain to attend this initiation--their love and sincerity is so beautiful.

Because of constant travels since Baba's birthday, I have not been able to keep up with the podcast or blog, but I am finally able to be near an internet connection long enough to share some beautiful news from India...

A number of monastics and scholars at the head of different schools, monasteries, ashrams, and research institutes (including this Swamito) founded the Eternal Wisdom Alliance in Haridwar in the Himalayas in April 2007. Through the power of this network of small but efficient organizations working on different aspects of human development, we are able to pool our resources together and offer a large number of classes in various parts of India (Haridwar, Uttarkashi, and Champawat in Uttarkhand; Varanasi and Allahabad in Uttar Pradesh; Mount Abu in Rajasthan; and Delhi, to start with), and, in the future, in Latin America.

Each organization member of the Alliance works independently, yet follows a common goal: the formation of inter-religious, multi-disciplinary students, who are comfortable with and adept at drawing from the best of prominent schools, traditions and knowledge without confusing the specificity of each stream.

See you there!
Blessings, Swamiji
