Hi Dada
Thank you so much for your presence at the Retreat and the meditation practice you were able to provide: I know that it had a profound effect on some of the participants (in fact some regard it as life-changing!). It is much appreciated!

Hello everyone! I have returned to Australia. I have a nice flat in Lismore. I hope some of you can come and visit me!

I sit quietly alone within my mind.

I am within the Divinity.

Divinity is meditating on me.

I unite my mind and heart in rhythm with the mantra, a word which brings me into absorption with my own Divine Self.

BABA NAMA KEVALAMA—–My physical, mental and spiritual energies are directed to the nearest and dearest One, my Supreme Self.

All my actions are the fruit of my longing to be one with the Divine.

As they arise in my mind, I give the Divine to them liberating them from their cycle of repetition.

I merge every desire in Divinity.

I breathe in and Divinity is within me.

I breathe out and Divinity is everywhere around me.

Our relationship becomes more and more intimate.

Divinity is with me. Divinity is near to me. Divinity is embracing me. We are twins.

I expand, my boundaries dessolve and everyone and everything is within me.

The universe is my body.

My mind holds the universe within it.

I and the Divinity are one!

I am.

I don’t have to do anything.

I don’t have to be anything.

I am Joy and Peace.

I open my eyes and see the world around me as the expression of my own Self.

I experience the emotions of the world as my own.

In my own special way I give my self to all and all give themselves to me.

What do you want

to see

to feel

to hear

When you get there?

Singing a particular mantra (word infused with the power of Unbounded, Universal Consciousness ) repeatedly while feeling the presence of Divinity within me and everywhere around me is called kiirtan.
Mantra exists as sound in the physical world. At the root of every emotion or mental propensity is sound. So when I repeat mantra repeating the sounds that make up the mantra I experience a sensation within me as the sounds resonate with my body and mind.
To experience the inherent power and validity of the mantra I suggest that the mantra be sung slowly. At first you might want to repeat the mantra as it is sung normally, that is, as you would sing a song. Then I suggest that you try to sing the mantra so that each syllable is sung longer, increasing the time of each syllable every minute or so.
So if I were to sing Baba Nama Kevalama, I would sing each syllable for perhaps 2 seconds at first. Then after a minute or so, I would increase the the sung syllable to 3 seconds, then four seconds, then five. As I sing each syllable I feel the sound of the mantra penetrating my body and mind with its vibration.
As I continue to sing the mantra ever so slowly I may also imagine, see or visualize Divinity as I conceive Divinity to be in my own personal way.
As I sing the mantra still longer and with full concentration on the sound and conception, I feel myself in relationship with Divinity. Divinity is everywhere around me. Divinity loves me as I am. Divinity embaces me and holds me as I move along my own path. Divinity and I are one.

Information from Dada about his workshops:

1. The maximum number of people that I can properly take care of in one seminar is 15.
The room should be cozy and confidential with everyone sitting at the same level, all in chairs or all on cushions. I will need a white board, a cd player, an essence oil burner and some nice essential oil to make the atmosphere open, for example, frankencense, lavender, eucalyptus, rose or sandalwood.

2. I have traditionally needed 12 hours to conduct the seminar for 15 people. It may be two days, Saturday and Sunday.

Each person needs at least 20 minutes and some people may need as much as 40 (not everyone), depending on the issue and the process of resolving it.

3. I give an introductory presentation in lecture format which takes one hour. You can download and photocopy the lecture from my website. Click on Articles, then click on Madhuvidya, select all and copy to Word and print.

In the second hour I will pass around a stuffed animal and each person will be invited, perhaps with some dialogue from me, to explore issues that may be distrubing them at present.

The third hour is an audio, visual and relational experience of the mantra.

After these three hours the process of giving 20-40 minutes to each participant begins. Each participant will have the mantra sung to them by all the participants in a circle. Each participant will enter into dialogue with me. Each participant will be engaged in a ‘conversation’ between their issue and their self.

4. When everyone has completed their personal time, there will be some collective closing of the process and evaluation.

5. If youwant to make a flier, go to my webpage, click on events and then click on the three choices: What happens at a workshop?, What have people said about them?, Contact me to organise one in your area. Use the information in any format you choose with any graphics that you choose.

6. I charge for the seminar.

I’ve used Dada Prana’s mantra healing method in my own meditation and spiritual life. I found it insightful, practical and easy to use. It bridges the divide between spirituality and inner therapeutic work. Transformative…..

Personally I found this to be practical, inspirational, emotionally deep, and spiritually awakening of devotion. The margiis in Dada’s workshop - both senior margiis and newer margiis - had a very +++ response to Dada’s workshop. This workshop for me brought up the same emotions I had with my PC with
Baba in Switzerland and my experience at Mahaprayan in 1990.

I would like to start a discussion about satsaunga. Anyone like to give some input? What is it? Have you even experienced it? Is there anything about satsaunga that you expect or expected. Have your expectations been realized? What element of satsaunga do you think has been left out? Let me hear from you!

Hello thought! How are you today? Glad to see you. Are you a strong thought today or a weak thought? Have you had any contact with other thoughts recently?
Welcome to my mind. I am glad you found a mind that was friendly to having you around. Would you like to get some spiritual energy today? I can imagine that it isnt very fulfilling thinking about yourself all the time.
Maybe I could give you some injection of limitlessness! Would you like me to feed you some Baba Nam Kevalam energy now? Would you like it to be a warming energy, a vibrating energy, a visual energy or maybe a mixture? Ok!
Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam! Baba Nam Kevalam!

Any other thoughts around? Any thoughts want Baba Nam Kevalam too? Come and get it!!!!

When you do meditation two things happen. The mind expands and previous experiences from the past bubble up into your awareness. Those past experiences are bubbling up because your mind is expanding. So we can say that the symtom of the expanding mind is the awareness of past experiences arising during meditation or the experience of the feelings of nearness to Divinity. So when any thoughts arise in meditation it is important to acknowledge them. I would like to start a dialogue with people visiting this web page to see what people are doing when the bubbling happens. Anyone like to start? Dada
