Rudi & Swami Chetananda - An Introduction
Rudi
& Swami Chetananda: Swami Rudrananda's (Rudi's) teachings involved coming
to an understanding that "everything is a part of perfection and must
be taken in a state of surrender; it must be digested and transcended."
Rudi says that all experiences become spiritual exercises, and difficult
experiences in our lives force us to change the patterns in our life that
keep us from complete realization. Rudi emphasizes the role of the teacher,
or guru, to serve as a role model and catalyst for spiritual development.
His spiritual disciplines included both sitting meditations, yoga, and awareness
of the energies affecting us all the time during any activity. Moreover,
all barriers must be broken down and all energies must be utilized for spiritual
unfoldment; thereby, all experience becomes our teacher. |
