"The guru is Brahma; the guru is Visnu; the
guru is the
god Mahesvara.The guru is directly that supreme Brahman.
Unto that guru I bow."

With a humble, loving heart I pay
tribute to my blessed Gurudev H.H. Sri Sri 1008 Kisori-Kisoranand Baba
Tinkudi Gosvami, without whose example and
guidance Sacred Ecology 33 would not exsist. Joseph
H.H. Sri Sri 1008 Kisori-Kisoranand Baba Tinkudi Gosvami
"Those who meditate upon this immortal Truth as I
have
Declared it, full of faith and seeking me as life's supreme goal,
Are truly my devotees, and my love for them is very great."
Bhagavat Gita
DEDICATION TO BABA
H.H. Sri Sri 1008 Tinkudi Baba was perhaps the last of
his kind.
He belonged to the old school of Holy Personages who spent all their
time in Bhajan (loving communion with GOD). He lived in the wild areas
of the Holy Lands, not staying in any one place for long. He never
touched money and had no need for it. He kept no possessions...other
than that necessary for living the renunciant sadhu (Babaji) life in
Bhajan. Yet, wherever he went he fed and clothed the needy and filled
them with Holiness and Grace.
He was beloved by all...from the lowliest to
the most high...he was loved and honored, adored and esteemed, sought
after by thousands who wanted just a glimpse of him, wanted his
blessing, and for those wanting to witness that wonderful illuminated
smile he would give to those blessed with honesty, those blessed with
purity, those blessed with happiness, those blessed with life lessons
hard and cruel.
He showered hundreds of thousands with his
loving, compassionate grace. For those most closely connected to him he
was their holy shelter. With his loving, kind and humble nature he
showered Divine Love on his many disciples, creating from among them
many new Saints and Holy Ones.
So deeply surrendered to God, in love with
God, and in direct loving interaction with God was he that God invested
his soul with His own concentrated Love Divine. To Baba, a precious
jewel, I dedicate with loving devotion this humble endeavor too big for
me to undertake alone.
God, I humbly ask for your
blessings to purify my psycho-physical field and restore me to my
natural condition of Love, Peace, Joy and Wisdom!
