My pride and joy

In case I haven't expressed it clearly enough, I wanted to make absolutely sure that each and every one of you know how incredibly proud I am of you for the committment you've made to this cleanse and immersion process. For most of us this was difficult to arrange and a herculean effort to maintain in the midst of juggling the 108 things we have going on at the same time. In witnessing yourself stay steady and committed while life, old habits and temptation continue to swirl around you (something you may have doubted your ability to do), I believe you have taken Hanuman*-like leaps on your spiritual path.

I am completely floored by the cohesiveness of our kula and the strength and inspiration we're finding for and from each other.

Bravo sweet yogis, bravo. We have done something extraordinary and in harvesting the fruits of our labors we can share our bounty with others. We are making a change in the world, starting with ourselves.

We are the ones we've been waiting for.

*Hanuman is a Hindu deity that epitomizes courage and strength who leapt across the ocean to demonstrate his devotion to God. While non-Hindus might find it odd to worship "a monkey", for Hindus, the idea is to worship the astoundingly righteous attributes represented by Hanuman that even most humans find hard to practice, such as devotion and virtuousness.
