Hands are expressive, holding clues in every gesture of what lies within the heart. There is nothing as beautiful as flamenco dancers hands. Gypsies came from India a thousand years ago and with their migration brought unique character to hand mudras that have been around for thousands of years. We learned hand mudras and though the clarity of the fingers fade, the words do not:
Bound within space and time;
by your grace knowledge dawns;
and dispassion is attained.
Understanding the reality of creation;
immersed in Om;
liberation unfolds.
Returning to the self;
with senses controlled;
I offer my mind and heart to thee in complete surrender.
If yoga is a cessation of the fluctuations of the mind, the yoga Sutras invoke having a still mind. Chitta is mind stuff, Vritti is a wave or undulation. Narodaha is a negation of what came before.
"Chitta, Vritti, Narodaha"

Bodhi Svaha
The great Laama spoke these words just before he died. They speak of the great beyond, going to the great beyond, beyond everything and even further. Svaha means the going and coming, to AWAKE. These words speak of the deepest truest love. The love that exists beyond all else.
