I began, in theory, as His teacher. The reality is that I was the one learning the lessons. He teaches through example- peace, dedication, patience, integrity and gentle compassion. Looking back over the years I was so blessed to share so many experiences with Muniji. Many of these were the more ordinary, day to day events. It's these however, woven together, that made the fabric of our relationship.
One thing for sure, Muniji has had a significant influence on my life. He has graced me by including me in his party on his visits to the U.N., by visiting my family home and meeting my parents when they were in their 80's, by praying for them when they were in need, comforting me and soothing my fears for them when my father was dying , praying for my neice who developed a brain tumor in 2007 when she was 18 (she's survived surgery and is doing well, as Muniji said she would) and for helping me to see the world in a new way and granting me inner peace by his constant presence.
I always feel a smile coming to my face when I see him in my mind's eye. He has shown such compassion for my difficulties and laughed when I apologized for causing him more "prayer time".
What a blessing that we have a monk who walks the world with the sole purpose of devotion to non-violence yet still has the time to pray for the rest of us. I do not know how many times he said, "Do not worry, I will pray"... "Be happy".
Happiness is, knowing and being graced by His Holiness Amrender Muni Ji Maharaj
With great respect, humility and love,
