As I approached my 60th year, I was extremely jaded and discouraged with the state of world affairs and disappointed with my own life. I fretted over world events every night. I complained about the weather constantly. I was unhappy with where I was in my career and I was experiencing difficulties with my job and my co-workers. I did not enjoy being around my family either and avoided getting together with them whenever I could. I had been engaged in meditation and a spiritual practice for many years. I had also been initiated but, for many years, I abandoned my meditation practice. As a result, the lights had dimmed on the spiritual energy inside of me. I longed to have this spiritual energy and my spiritual life rekindled!
So, after finding Acharya Kedar on the internet, I started attending the Supreme Meditation webcasts. I really enjoyed Acharya Kedar's talks and his sharing of the experiences of his own spiritual journey. I could easily relate to someone who encountered the same kind of challenges I had encountered on the spiritual path. I began applying the principles Acharyaji taught in the webcasts. I also received direct instruction from him for my spiritual practice. As the months went by, I began noticing a transformation in my life. I was much happier, much calmer. I began experiencing peace and I actually looked forward to getting up in the morning, for a change. I was readily performing the spiritual practices that Acharyaji taught- chanting, meditation, contemplation and reading of spiritual texts. I found that I was no longer at the mercy of my mind all of the time. If a negative emotion came up, I could stand back and watch it. I didn't have to become engaged and then subsequently upset by it. This ability to know that I am something greater and separate from my restless mind and nagging emotions has made a huge difference in my life. I see people and myself differently and I appreciate my life and the people in it in a much sweeter way. As a result, I have more compassion toward myself and others.
I have now realized for myself that Acharya Kedar is a living Master, a saint who has surmounted all the challenges in life that I have had to face. He is a living master of the spiritual practices and teachings he learned from his teacher, a Siddha Guru. It is clear to me that Acharya Kedar has reached the destination that I and so many others long for-- to know God fully within and to be able to remain anchored in this state of awareness continuously.
It is with this understanding that I registered to take a Supreme Meditation Intensive with Acharya Kedar. This is the main program offered by Supreme Meditation. It is a weekend meditation retreat in which Acharya Kedar awakens the dormant spiritual energy that causes meditation and spiritual practice to be much more spontaneous, while invoking healing. When Acharyaji touched me to awaken this spiritual energy, I felt so much energy surging through my body. I saw shimmering light and my hands and body began to tingle with this energy. As this energy coursed through my body, I spontaneously began performing a yogic breathing technique that stills the mind and cleanses the body of impurities. This breathing was doing its own thing. It was breathing me, not the other way around. I just allowed it to happen. It was quite intense. When the gong sounded us out of meditation, I was not ready to come back to the room. I just wanted to remain deep inside in my own bliss. I felt divinely happy!
I now know that there is a wealth, a true greatness, within myself and I recognize that this same greatness lies within everyone and everything. This is one clear result of spending time with a Siddha like Acharya Kedar.

Last last week I experienced how the teachings by Acharyaji are meant for every moment of one's day. After having a critical computer crash at work, Acharya's message from his weekly talks was echoing in my head. "Keep a quiet mind," is what I heard. Using methods that he has taught to quiet one's mind, I was able to find the solution to repair the seemly "unrepairable" situation. I am humbled by this experience.
During this weekend's Intensive I received a gift while contemplating the meaning of a teaching from Acharya. As I focused intently on the message of this talk, I began to experience the meaning as an actual experience in the moment I was focusing on the understanding . The experience contained the understanding of the lesson. I was feeling I was inside the concept of the teachings. The contemplation grew from the words being inside myself to actually participating in the meaning. I experienced a glimpse of the meaning of the lesson directly. I was in the meaning of the teaching. I am deeply humbled to have received this experience.

I never expected to take a Guru. In fact, before I met Acharya Kedar, I did not know why I would ever want to follow one. I did know that I was not experiencing God and I longed to know and experience God. When I finally admitted to myself that I needed a spiritual guide, I asked God to send me this teacher. Shortly after, Acharya Kedar manifested in my life. I now know that Acharyaji is a Sadguru (true Guru).
During my first intensive weekend retreat with Acharyaji, all the prayers I had ever said were answered. My experience began to unfold when Acharyaji gave me Shaktipat Initiation. He pressed a point in my back, and in that same moment, he dissolved every bit of anxiety, worry and fear that I had ever experienced, and continued to carry around in my body. I felt this as a wave of energy that washed over me and left me in complete peace and serenity. As I melted into this space, I sailed off into my first true, mindless meditation.

I wanted a deeper experience of God. I read the Supreme Meditation Web site. The teachings of Acharya Kedar posted there seemed to immediately mesh with what I wanted to know and understand. An extremely clear thought I had was that the Acharya concisely and directly stated the goal of the path and his teachings; that the goal is not simply liberation, going to heaven, avoiding hell, or living a good life; that the goal is to become totally free.
I was asked to share my most important experience of Supreme Meditation. If I ask myself that question the answer is immediate. I know there is a God and that God is inside of me. Every day, I have a direct experience of God. Sometimes sudden insights pop into my head from questions, prayers, or contemplations that I had several days before. There is no doubt that God answers each and every one of my prayers and questions.
Since receiving Shaktipat, my most profound experience is that, if I make the effort to engage in daily spiritual practice as instructed by the Acharya, I have an experience of God every day.
