Earlier I did the Ten-Step Kumbhak then Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev during Brahma Muhudra. Then Nandi Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on throughout the day.
During the holds I turned to Nandi. And he felt close. Just there, the way someone sitting next to you is there.
I think it is because the hold and his bhava are the same shape. Nothing moving. Nothing being ch…

Earlier I did the Kumbhaka breathing. Then Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev. Then Nandi through the afternoon. Then Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev during Brahma Muhurta until bedtime.
As I focused on Nandi's bhava throughout the day, all my anarthas for the entire afternoon came to mind. I meditated on how I can improve my Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana tomorro…

Earlier I did the Kumbhaka breathing. Then Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopishwara Mahadev. Then Nandi through the afternoon.
Today I noticed how much I want to be told I am doing it right.
I finish the kumbhak, I sit with her bhava, and some part of me is checking. Was that deeper than yesterday. Did I hold it longer. Am I getting somewhere.
Then I spent the day with Nandi'…

Dandavat pranams, Gurudev and dear devotees.
Earlier I did the Kumbhaka, then Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopishwara Mahadeva.
Then I went into the day with Nandi. The entire entire afternoon as best I could. I noticed, Nandi's bhava is easier to feel and carry throughout the day.
Gopishwara Mahadev in the morning, during Brahma Muhurta or before sleep needs stillness, needs me to sit down properly. Nand…

Again today. Ten-Step Kumbhak first, then Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev.
Her bhava this morning was the same as always.
Then the morning ended, and I went into the day. So I took Nandi with me.
Sitting in traffic, working, waiting for things. Whenever I remembered, I turned to Nandi's bhava.

Earlier, I did my best to practice theTen-Step Kumbhak as Gurudev has given it. It is difficult to do esp at the very beginning. By the end of it my mind was quiet in a way I cannot reach by just sitting down and trying.
Then I did Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev. Her bhava stayed longer than usual today.
But then the sitting ended and I had to get up and do m…

Today I did 3 rounds of kumbhaka Pranayama. As
I held my breath, I focused on Nandi. In my mind, Nandi sits outside the temple. Facing Shiva. Not moving. He has been sitting like that for as long as there have been temples. He does not go in. He does not ask to go in. He looks, and that is enough for him.
I did Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on that bhava. Not on Shiva. On the one…

Today while doing my breathing exerises, something came to my mind that I had never put together before.
Shiva is the greatest Vaishnava. I have sat with that for a long time. But he is also the greatest dancer. Nataraja.
Both at once. And I do not think that is a coincidence.
So I did Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on his dance. Not the power in it. Not the cosmos shaking. The …

Before brahma muhurta I did my breathing before anything else.
I used to skip this part. I would sit down and go straight into smarana, and then spend twenty minutes fighting my own mind. Chasing thoughts. Starting over again in frustration.
The breathing changed everything. The breath is not the meditation. It is what makes the meditation possible. My restless mind cann…

Earlier during the time of brahma muhurta, before light. I sat and slowed my breath first doing the breathing exercises. I gave thanks to Gurdev's teachings mentally, for the association of devotees. As soon as my mind became calm and stopped rushing. Only then did I begin Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev. 🙇🏽🙇🏽🙇🏽

Today I did Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana and dasanudas bhav on Shiva at the Ratha Yatra.
Puri is ringed by eight Shiva shrines. They stand at the eight directions, guarding the kshetra. The chariot rolls down the road and they do not move. They just hold the edges so the festival can happen.
And Mahaprabhu's mood on that road is the gopis taking Krishna back to Vrindavana. The …

Today I did 1-4-7-8 breathing while doing Bhakta-Bhava-Smarana on Gopeshwar Mahadev. Smarana felt longer and not choppy. I was able to focus longer and not fight my mind as often.
I did my best to try to feel her bhav. At the same time, I felt her bhav was reciprocating with the shanta rasa associates, such as the grass and flowers. It felt like a beautiful, endless cycl…
