About

Shunyamurti

A photo gallery of Shunyamurti’s life trajectory would reveal an adolescent poet with a love of sports, a chess player evolving into a student of martial arts and philosophical curiosity, to a sixties radical and follower of Mahatma Gandhi and the path of nonviolence, an acid tripper, a lawyer, a serious disciple of a series of inspiring spiritual teachers, a pilgrim in India, a God-ravished renunciate, a doctoral student in psychology, a hypnotherapist specializing in working with those who had troubling paranormal experiences, the founder of a new approach to transformational healing giving birth to Sat Yoga, and now an old man facing death.
Shunyamurti is in a permanent state of gratitude to God for choosing such a mediocre instrument for the sacred privilege of transmitting teachings that can lead souls to spiritual fulfillment and freedom. Those teachings include not confusing the instrument that delivers the teachings (in this case the human body named Shunyamurti) with the Source of the teachings. The Source is your Self.
The organism was given the name Shunyamurti to emphasize that the body form is empty of essence. The Fullness belongs only to your Self. Everyone who encounters this instrument will project their own version of Shunyamurti. The projections can range from the divine to the demonic. But none of them is real or accurate, except as a mirror of yourself. How you feel about Shunyamurti will depend on how much Truth you are able to face.
So, is this really about Shunyamurti?
