New blog: The Buddha in
the Garden
The Buddha is a symbol of the potential of every human being to find self-realisation through Yoga, meaning “union”; and the Garden is an allegory for the state of super-consciousness, known in Hinduism as samadhi, in Buddhism as nirvana and Christianity as heaven. I live just around the corner from my spiritual teacher and yoga master, Yogi Prakash Shankar Vyas, better known to his students as “Guruji”…
A Personal Note from Heidi Wyder:
I wrote and published Footsteps to Freedom, Four Spiritual Masters of Kriya Yoga and a Beginner in 2003 for the same reason that I wanted to establish a blog: Guruji is best understood through his own words, stories and examples, and I love to share his wisdom. Since my book was first published, many people have written to tell me how they could relate to my experiences as a ‘beginner’ on the yoga path: how they felt as if they had been reading their story.
It was humbling to know that it was never actually about me at all! Likewise as a ‘yoga practitioner’, in so far as life is a spiritual journey and we are united in many of our joys and struggles, I realise that it is a shared road. So if you’d like to know what I’ve been up to since Footsteps to Freedom and am doing these days, still wanting to learn all she can from a living “Buddha in the Garden” – please join me at www.kriyasource.net – and bring your friends and family along too. Hope to see you there!
