J: Well this was an oldie but goodie so to speak, when I had an experience of being with Guru Dev (Brahmananda Saraswati), I recall having a strong current of bliss throughout my body during the entire time- three or four days?.

J: Just that prior to my experience with GD, I had focused on having such an experience intensely through prayer, desire and intent for many years. *Deep prayer for many years was key*. (Deep prayer= linking the center of the heart with the mind's intent, and lifting it upwards). Prior to the full blown ecstatic experience I would have glimpses off and on. Then as so often happens when our prayers are answered, the result far exceeded my expectations. It was probably very similar to the experiences you've recounted here of flying or of Barry's recounting of that guy walking on air, in that it felt as real as any physical experience. In fact more so, because my attention was fully engaged, there was also a full experience of darshan or whatever that feeling is called when you are in the Guru's immediate presence. At the same time, so very very natural and familiar. And I saw and experienced somehow the living image of Guru Dev beside me in great detail, color and length of hair, height and shape of body, facial features and expression, color of robe including intricate stiching on hem of garment, the whole thing, though I can't explain the mechanics- It wouldn't have been captured on videotape, though, because it was in that intra dimensional space. > R: > > > Somehow now that I think of it this does not seem so different > > from > > > the specific enlivenment of the various devas and rishis etc. > > within > > > the body during a puja or yagya.
