My name is Elmarie van der Westhuizen, it says so on my driver`s licence. I have a spiritual name too ~ which is Nirankar Kaur, so does everybody in the Kundalini Yoga and Meditation world.
The meaning of my spiritual name ~ Nirankar : the one who sees God in all, from a formless Lord, the one who is beyond form, without form, the God energy which does not reside in any one place, but is everywhere at once and not bound by time and space.
Kaur : Princess/Lioness of God who walks with grace & power throughout her life.
(Kaur is a name that all women receive)
A dear friend of mine after listening to me explaining my spiritual name - put it very simple
"so you bi-locate"!
This specific blog is not about my spiritual name but my journey through the 90 day Meditation, which I want to dedicate to my girls in South Africa.
As soon as I heard the news of this specific Global Sadhana coming up I thought of my girls and decided that it would be wonderful to have them join me.
Taking in consideration that there is a 7 hr time difference, they have very stressful careers, working long hours, single parents, no yogic training, a little yogic experience, if you add all of this it really comes to = minimal free time.
I know the benefits of chanting and meditation and wanted them to experience it first hand. With that said
I decided to ask if they ll join me, in their own time and also to just do their best, if they can only afford to do 3 minutes, then so be it.
They both agreed and the jaw dropping bonus was when my granddaughter 9yrs old asked if she may join.
We created a chat group via smartphone technology which we used to check in daily for the next 40 days.
Wahe Guru ~ Wahe is a statement of awe and ecstasy. Guru is that which brings us from darkness to light.
Wahe Guru is the expression of complete ecstatic awe of the Divine, the Infinite Teacher of the soul expresses ecstasy through knowledge and experience.
As the days became weeks we all realized the value of the vibrational energy and pure love through the ethers. We encouraged each other, we shared emotions and helped each other through monkey mind days.
Our youngest member fell asleep sometimes, a perfect lullaby, she also did a solo 11min for her and her mom, one night when mommy was too sick and had no voice. She told her mom to just listen and she chanted her little heart out. I cannot wait for my other grandbaby to grow a little more, because I know he will love to be part of our group.
The ether tattva often described as the glue of all the other tattvas became a different glue to 4 souls closely connected by heart but 10 000 miles apart.
Every time I Chanted Wahe Guru....my heart filled with joy I soared, knowing the deepening of true love
between us. Much too soon our 40 day came to the end ~ they decided to keep on meditating daily choosing different chants as needed.
(I kept on going because I commited to 90 days.)
As I am typing this all I can really think of to say is Wahe Guru.
