Many times I have heard people say something along the lines "in lap of existence" Well today I had a very interesting experience involving that sentence. You see today I was sitting with a few devotees in the main Sanctum Sacturum of the temple, to be precise I was talking to one lady while playing with her (totally adorable) nine month old baby named Sharvi (which means divine in Sanskrit, because Swamiji appeared when she was born, because complications where happening, so she truly is divine.) Anyhow, so i was there in the temple. Actually I think this started the night before, ridiculously tired I was getting some things ready in the temple for an event that occurred today. So all day today and last evening when ever I was in that main part of the temple, I kept feeling like I was.... encased. I have heard the expression from Swamiji, his main disciples, and devotees alike talk about being in LAP of existence, but this was different, it was like I was being fully embraced by existence. The energy of that place, Anandaswara's energy, Swamiji's energy, was holding me. Keeping me steady, it was so.... intense. I don't even think I can fully describe the feeling. OK it was like this: the energy was surrounding me as if a person holding, gently, keeping up, guiding me. It was so amazing I really felt that existence was taking care of me, it would always be there for me.

In the lap of Excistence
