Shrii Shrii Anandamurti's Acharya Santbudhananda initiated me in Feb. 1979, in Philadelphia, PA USA. For some reason he gave me both the first and second lesson at once. I was then slightly above my body for one week. Witnessing the actions of my body, in a stressful job, but with zero stress, effortlessly. And a warm current arising up my spine in meditation. I was never the same again, deeply devoted to God, but went my own way. Shortly after Feb. 1979, I saw Santbudhananda once more in passing, but was not able to speak to him, and then I was told "he had left the organization." Santbudhananda, why did you go? Why did you give me two lessons that transformed me? sendarbi at geemale
