Conversations with Avant-garde Sages
NIRMALA: We traveled all over actually. We were in Rishikesh, a
beautiful place up in the foothills of the Himalayas, and then we
went to the home of my teacher's teacher, which you mentioned in
the introduction is Papaji, but he was no longer alive, he died
actually the day before I left for India.
WIZARD: I met him right before that, I was in India and I got an
invite to dinner, and met him. He was just sitting at the table
watching TV [laughs], grinning from ear to ear.
NIRMALA: [Laughs] That reminds me of how when I first
attended Satsang with my teacher, Neelam, my biggest problem
was that my cheeks got so sore. Because I was laughing and
smiling so much, it took a while to build up the smiling muscles in
my cheeks [Laughs].
WIZARD: Did you go to Arunachala?
NIRMALA: Yes, that was the third stop that we made, where we
stayed at Ramanashram for a month.
WIZARD: I've been there five times, and there's something that
happens when I'm in Arunachala. I'm not much on the woo-woo
stuff, but when I'm at that place, there's something, some
mechanism that my thoughts naturally cease, and it's really quite a
way to recharge. Trip went with me one time, and it was just
magical in every way.
TRIP: It was. I was coming off of a huge spiritual experience, and
then I had recently met Ganesan, and his teachings, I don't know,
everything came together, and I was on this huge spiritual high.
And so I had a lot of unrealizable expectations for my trip to India,
and they were exceeded, oh my God [laughs]. It was wild, because
we were with as group of people that all were in that space, so
synchronicity was just seamless everywhere, it was amazing.
