A little poem
What if the babbling brook was not permitted to babble
Nor the whispering wind able to sigh
What if there was never any opposition
No friction, no resistance, no struggle
What if all the stones were as the river rocks
Smooth, even, and flat
What if we loved our spirit more than our life
Than what prayers would we need.
The play continues, the wheel turns
And we feel that we have never been here before
We fear tomorrow, as we fear the unknown
We hold fast to the wavering reed
As the current of false impression (Maya), glides over us
Here in this stream of life.
(Dan Allen)

Vishivanath
An 18th century yogi who lived on the Hindukush mountain in northwest Sind (now Pakistan). Said to be the guru of the Sufi, Sachal Sarmast
(1739-1829) who composed the following verse:
I recognised the yogi who of his own accord entered my abode.
He had dressed himself in the garb of an ascetic as an artful device.
He had long yogic tresses and his body was smeared with ash.
His flute’s melody entranced my soul.
God had brought about this union between me and the yogi.
For him I have now sprinked perfume and musk:
It was he who revealed to me the entire mystery.

Gahininath
This Nath yogi was a disciple of Gorakhnath
. He spent much of his life in the caves and shelters of the hills of western India, including several years at Brahmagiri, near Tryambakeshvar, in what is now Maharashtra, where there is a cave known as Gorakhhagimpha. Whilst staying there, Gahininath took as his disciple a young boy, Nivritti, who accidently entered the cave.
Nivritti achieved his realisation, and in turn became the guru to his brothers, Jnaneshwara, Sopandev, and sister, Muktabai.
There are Maratha traditions that report a connection between the forefathers of Nivritti and Jnaneshwara and the Nath yogis
, extending over four generations, which include a reference to Gahininath being the guru of Vitthal, the father of Nivritti and his brothers and sister.

Saint Brigit
Goddess of the fire.
She was Protectress of smiths, healers and poets.
She was the High Mother Goddess of Ireland and survived Christianity.
(from the website, Shrine of Brigit)
In the Christian tradition, Saint Brigit of Kildare
dates from the 5th century (d. c.525CE), however the legends surrounding this saint link her to the earlier pagan goddess, Brighit. In Celtic mythology both share similar characteristics, relating to agriculture, the arts and fertility.So it is likely that the early Christians in Ireland
appropriated the earlier legends and presented them in the person of a Christian saint.Tales and Poems of Brigit

The Hyderabad yuvashakti in coordination with the local district yuvashaktis and elder sahaja yogis are planning an extensive follow-up schedule so that the new realized souls might get established in the collectivity.
