LIVE VIDEOCONFERENCE FROM URUGUAY TO COLOMBIA
It was wonderful today to share Isha's darshan live with a group of our students in Bogota, Colombia. Isha answered all of their questions, live. Here in Uruguay, we have over 130 students from around the world participating in the mega intensive, on saturday, we will be transmitting directly to Mexico, and we are organizing the same thing for other cities during the mega intensives of January and February.
Here are some photos of the students excersising, and the teachers showing off their new hats in the kitchen!
In he kitchen, from left to right: TANTRA, LAKSHMI, MAKARI, SANKARI,BRAHMA, GANESH, ANANTA, GANDI
And the aerobics class in the tent led by Maitreya, with everyone having a great time trying to coordinate with the music! In the front, you can see Parvati's beautiful daugter, who is here for a visit from New York.
Every afternoon at 5pm, after practicing the consciousness excersise, some go to the tent to do aerobics, while others excersise in the morning chi kung class.
Today, a group are going out to ride horses down the beautiful beaches of Costa Azul and Bello Horizonte. They will be able to experience unifying in group whilst on horseback, a very special experience. Then they will stay at the ranch for coffee and cakes! I tested them the other day, and I assure you that they are quite delicious. Later I'll be posting more darshan: todays was great fun, really beautiful!

DARSHAN WITH ISHA IN INTERNATIONAL MEGA EVENT IN "LA I", COSTA AZUL, URUGUAY (EXTRACT FROM TODAY)
THIS IS ISHA'S INTRODUCTION TO TODAYS DARSHAN...
When we’re children, we perceive our parents as gods. Then we begin to see their humanity, and we start to pull them off their pedestals. We start to perceive them as people that limit us, control us, abandon us; there’s a multitude of things that we perceive as wrong with our parents. Sometimes it’s one parent, sometimes it’s both; it just depends. But gradually, they start to slip from their pedestal.
We go through stages: our parents are god, then they become awfully human and we start to blame them for all of our shortcomings, all our problems. We start doing therapy, we start to try and heal the mother within us and the father within us, and we start to create our parents outside. It’s true, isn’t it? We marry our parents, we give birth to our parents, we go to school with our parents; in fact our parents are everywhere. Because our parents represent the initial separation; the initial separation from unconditional love. That love that is so complete within itself, it wants for nothing. That love; that love. We spend our whole lives looking for that. And of course, as you’re starting to realize, the irony is, we are that love. That love is in you and we’re coming home to that love now. That’s why you’re here.
How do I come home to that love? I focus on it; I focus on the love. And then I start to express the resentment, the disillusionment, the abandonment; all of the different aspects that I judge out here, and in my head. I express them to let them go and I see them everywhere. This is a process that takes time, but it’s a very short period of time if you do this system 100%. Not just the keys; they’ll take you so far, but they’re not going to give you absolute freedom. There are other aspects of consciousness which are equally as important, and those aspects form the Isha System. Removing our masks, being vulnerable, opening ourselves to receive love. These are all things that are so difficult for humans t do, because we are always protecting ourselves, guarding ourselves; we don’t trust other people. Why not? Because we’ve been taught not to: through our life experiences we have created separation. We’ve created the vulnerability of the human experience. It’s our creation, although it doesn’t feel like it is. We feel that god is like a puppeteer, and we’re like marionettes that are dancing. But we’re not controlling the strings. We think there’s someone else controlling the strings, and we feel like victims to our circumstance, to our experience. We become victims. But none of it is true. You created everything. You created you parents, you created your dramas, you created your separation, you created your abandonment… you created everything so that you could be human.
A STUDENT ASKS...
What is being real?
Just to remove your masks, to feel your emotions, to express your judgments. This is a great environment, because here everyone is playing the same game. We all create our parents everywhere, our schoolteachers everywhere, our children everywhere! They’re everywhere. You’re going to create them coming to you, and you’re going to be able to express, and you’re going to be able to let go, and you’re all going to be playing the same game, because you’re all focused on giving to each other. Is it easy? No, it takes courage. But it takes courage to be free. To be passive, to stay the same; that’s easy, but ultimately, the masks have to go. They have to go. You have to speak the truth. You have to be real, with the desire to let go. Not to change the outside; just to let go. I express this to let go. Then the love grows. I express this to heal the separation, then the love grows. Why? Because it’s an illusion. Everything is you. Everything is me. You love some parts of yourself, and other parts you don’t love, but you will; you’ll love it all, but from your heart, not intellectually. From your heart.

Video extract from Isha's new DVD: Darshan II
On a recent trip to Puerto Madryn in the south of Argentina, the incredible scenery left us open-mouthed. But it was the presence On a recent trip to Puerto Madryn in the south of Argentina, the incredible scenery left us open-mouthed. But it was the presence of the majestic right whales that truly took our breath away.
Isha was so inspired by their power and presence that she decided to create this DVD, "Darshan II", presenting these beautiful creatures together with some of the best moments of her discourses about consciousness, accompanied with sprinkles of her heartfelt music.

ISHA IN THE "RECLUSORIO ORIENTE" HIGH SECURITY PRISON IN MEXICO CITY, WHERE 954 INMATES AND PRISON AUTHORITIES LEARNT THE ISHA SYSTEM
The seminar in the prison went way beyond our expectations. Not only that, but it also went beyond the expectations of the authorities. We expected 600 inmates to assist, and 954 came, many of them having to sit on the stairs to fit in the auditorium. It was incredible. Their careful attention and receptivity were deeply moving, words cannot explain the feeling in the room. The prison directors felt it too, so much so that we have already confirmed another event with Isha's presence for next June.
The inmates who had already learnt the Isha System put a huge effort into helping us organize the event, and when we met them, we could see clearly in their eyes that they were unifying: they were shining, and you could feel their integrity, and when they had the opportunity to meet Isha, apart from the gifts and food they had prepared for especially for us, they took advantage of her presence to ask her questions, but not just any old questions: profound questions worthy of darshans. It was plain to see how much they had grown. I asked them to write their testimonies for us, and thanked them in advance, as thanks to their experiences, many other prisons in different countries are opening to share the System with the inmates. They agreed, saying that they wanted the world to know that they are experiencing freedom while in prison! They also asked to receive direct support, so we have organized weekly support meetings for them too. It is so wonderful to know they are wanting more.
You can imagine the tears falling down my face. What else can I say?! I think words cannot express more than I have already said.
We have just received confirmation that we have been invited to teach the System to 200 women in a prison in Santiago de Chile: the consciousness revolution continues expanding faster and faster!
I was saying to the teachers today that what I love is that we are such a freely moving foundation: we don't depend on anyone to organize our actions... as we don't receive financing for our outreach programs, but self finance everything through our public seminars, we are able to give and give without limits, move without limits and whenever we are invited somewhere, there is no need to wait, no bureaucracy to get in the way, and I love that freedom.
More to come soon

Some words from Isha
"There is nothing more fulfilling than uncondtional love of self, and when we experience it we can extend it to every aspect of our creation. When we love ourselves unconditionally, all the fear dissapears, and you experience union with everything. It isn´t a subtle experience, it is total. it´s the greatest thing that can ever happen to a human."
Isha simply teaches people to love themselves: "We all know we have to love others, but how can we truly love another if we are incapable of loving oursleves? Self love is not selfish or arrogant, it is the base of a truly healthy and complete relationship with life and with the world."
"Unconditional love of self allow everyone to achieve absolute freedom. It is the greatest gift I can give to anyone: to allow them to have their own experience. To allow them to have their own full expression of humanity. To allow them to enjoy the roller coaster of life in all of its diversities and contrasts."
May these words dance in your heart today. I imagine many of you were like us on friday, waiting for the interview, which unofrtunately never appeared, but we have been told it will be airing tomorrow (Tuesday) in the evening news on CNN en Español, at 10pm in argentina. for local times, visit http://www.cnn.com/espanol/ and look for "Panorama Mundial" in the evening slot.
Big hugs until next time
