Kundalini Splendor

(The following is from Lawrence Edwards (Kalidas), who is the founder and director of Anam Cara, one of our most valuable spiritual institutions):

Dear Friend
Valentine's Day is the pure celebration of LOVE! On other holidays we celebrate objects of love, but on this day we exalt LOVE itself. What a delight! And so many forms to delight in - amorous love, platonic love, brotherly love, sisterly love, love of parents, love of our children, love of pets, love of life, love, love, love, divine in all her forms!

However you celebrate Love, may the love in your heart be as radiant as the sun, warming you within and shining on all!



All There Is, Is Love


Love is the cure, for your pain will continue to give birth to more pain until your eyes constantly exhale love as effortlessly as your body yields its scent.
Rumi



The Flames of Love

Let the flames of Love cleanse you
of all clinging to illusions.

Let Love illumine the Truth.

Love is the most sublime path.
Love is the most profound meditation.
Love is the highest attainment.

In Love - the fullness of compassion.
In Love - timeless patience.
In Love - unbounded awareness.
In Love - all is illuminated.
In Love - vast spaciousness.
In Love - form and emptiness embrace.
In Love - I and Thou disappear.
In Love -

Kali's Bazaar, p. 31
A newly released collection of poetry by Kalidas.

(Note: the above book is now available on Amazon. I was honored to write a blurb for this book. Here is what I wrote:

In “Kali’s Bazaar,” Lawrence Edwards, Ph. D., offers us what is rare in our modern world--a dedicated pilgrim who speaks the authentic language of desire, hope, and union as he approaches the throne of the Invisible,“Kali,” the divine all knowing Mother of all that is . Spoken as the true devotee, he allows us to witness through the power of sacred poetry the profound adoration of and day to day interactions between the small self and the Great Wisdom Being who guides and protects. Such perspectives are rare in our modern age, though they were once prevalent in certain parts of the world. Kalidas (servant of Kali) reminds us that such dedication is timeless and true devotion occurs in all eras and geographic locations. To read these verses is to undergo a deep infusion of Divine Love.
