Namaste,
This is the time of Swami Nityananda’s birthday.
Swami Nityananda is Ma’s teacher and one of the great saints of India. He prepared Ma to be with her Guru, Neem Karoli Baba.
Baba is also one of the great saints of India.
Swami Nityananda taught about the Chidakash, The heart Space over the head.
This is a space where you have true love and care without your ego getting in the way.
This is Swami Nityananda’s teaching about detachment.
This next recipe will be a prasad served for Swami Nityananda’s Birthday Celebration Puja.
It is a delicious recipe with no added sugar, gluten free and vegan.
Thank you Ma and Baba and Swami Nityananda for your Grace.
Love Swami Rudra Das
Always at the Feet of my Guru, Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati
