God Intoxicated
I happened across this forum while doing a Google search on "bhava" and was delighted to find the thread by iridescence discussing madhura bhava, one of my all-time favorite topics as a lover of God. To introduce myself: I am a Sister in the Community of Francis and Clare, a nondenominational third-order founded by Fr. Scott Baldwin at All Saints Episcopal in San Francisco. Although I am formally Episcopalian, my theology is somewhat universalist and I also have a great deal of affection for Hinduism and Buddhism. I began practicing yoga 35 years ago in 1977 and while I believe that yoga is all One, my own personal orientation could best be described as "bhakti/tantrika." I am a yoga teacher and holistic wellness counselor. My teacher is Mark Whitwell (Heart of Yoga). I probably will not be spending much time on this forum because I am already quite extremely busy, mostly on Facebook and at the Advanced Yoga Practices forum where I belong to a wonderful sangha. Feel free to send me emails. Love to everyone!
