What gives you 60% of what is necessary? JASUTI: Could you give us some new suggestions on how we can increase the intensity of our gurushakti practices? GURURAJ: That’s very easy, don’t do gurushakti. I’m joking, you know that. Gurushakti is something indefinable. It is the power of grace that you are drawing unto yourself […]

There shall be many doubters
