Meditation is beautiful like an autum leaf.

So you can become most beautiful when you are about to be like an autum leaf.
The famous Saint Lahiri Mahasaya said:
You have to seek God in the summer of life.
Only then he will be with you in the winter.

At the age of 110 Bassi Gulam was still in his spiritual flowering! So growing old in meditation is not that bad. In the West we glorify youth.
We want to be eternal partying teenagers with wrinkle free faces. I talked with one of my
students in the school I work. It was her 20th birthday. She was crying: My youth is over! I am no longer as beautiful as before. So it is not a good long term investment to put your money on the body. The good news is that if you start in an early age
to "aware" the eternal source, you can experience
the grace to leave this world just as beautiful as
the autum leaf you can see just below.
A human life can thus enjoy 3 harvest seasons:
First the blossoming of a perfect body, then the flowering of emotional and intellectual
intelligence and finally the gift of entering the
hidden spiritual garden of old age.

Bassi Gulam Sant - A Timeless voice from timelessness

down from the Himalayan mountains
to cremate him

Two weeks after the pictures you see here were taken, Sant Avaduth Bassi Gulam left his body as an act of consciouss will.
He was working in the fields when he stumbled and broke his leg. Then this gigant spiritual oak tree decided to let the leafs
fall to the ground. For me this moment was a breeding ground where cosmic seeds from this old dying star gave birth to new stars.
He was sitting on his couch in yogic posture as far as his broken leg could allow him. He then began loudly to recite a mantra:
Ram ram ram ram ram ram ram

The mantra became like a whisper as his mind turned inward and back to the source.
In a spilt second everything stopped - it felt like even nature stopped....
Bassi Gulam left a body breathless...

Die 2 live

Saying hello to a little flying Soul

Serene & Majestic - a rare spiritual tiger far away from the spotlight of publicity.

In Spirituality life blossoms at the very end.

Bassi Gulam is telling about his life. He lived 40 years in a remote cave in the high regions of the
Himalayas. Many of his friends still meditate in these caves.

In this moment Bassi Gulam was actually crying of joy.

These hands hold the secret of life
