Launch of the Oneness Meditation Eye Deeksha
Slide show of photographs taken during the D.C. event
Doug Bentley, Oneness Guide for North America traveled from India to inaugurate the new Oneness Meditation in Washington D.C. on January 27 -28, 2012. In a very high state of blissful meditation, he transferred the blessing in just a few minutes to hundreds present at a Oneness event and at a public event. Many experienced high states, feeling of peace and bliss, quieting of the mind, and deeper meditations to name a few.
He continues his tour of the USA and Canada and is now completing his visit to the communities in Southern California in private homes, at concerts, in libraries, and other public venues.

What follows are excerpts from the initial feedback from some of the trainers who attended the event in D.C. The full feedback listing is at http://www.onenessuniversity.org in the blog section of the lower right section of the page. It was an historic event for over 500 trainers, blessing givers, and attendees from the public. This marks the launch of the Oneness Meditation in North America, Russia, and South Africa and sets the stage for what will soon be given in many other countries begun through the guides from Oneness University initiating some of the trainers in the various countries. This initiation process is scheduled to begin on February 29, 2012.
I was not physically present. There is a change in consciousness just being linked to people who where there. Silence, Joy.... Easily move into a state of expanded awareness and quiet. Far less mind chatter. When I speak with people who were there, I feel a shift in my consciousness and a "high". It is contagious. It's so hard to describe much of what I experienced; it just doesn't match with words. It was so beautiful to share in this wonderful community, but the highlights for me were having Bhagavan visit with us by Skype (almost more joy than I could bear!), and the Oneness Meditation itself. After my first time through the meditation (I confess I went through three times!), it was just mandatory that I go to my room and lie down for a half hour to try to integrate the energy at least a little. But it was pretty overwhelming. I would say the best description is that I began to feel Amma Bhagavan living inside of me in a very real way. We prepared food together, talked about my life and how I might contribute, laughed, and Amma anointed my head with oil. Jesus also appeared and sat with AB and myself, which made me gasp, as I had felt so close to him earlier in life, but not as much lately. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Immediately upon entering the hotel, I felt surrounded by the loving presence of our Oneness family, and this continued throughout the weekend. The Grace was palpable from the start, and only grew as the weekend proceeded. The Oneness Meditation experience was very deep and profound. I went to three sessions, and each time, at the tail end of Ananda Mandala with my eyes closed, I saw a great Light Being in front of me when Doug came in the room. Ananda Mandala gave me powerful sensations of experiencing my energy body and chakras in a whole new way than ever before. The eye deeksha filled me with such joy and bliss to see AmmaBhagavan's love pouring from Doug's eyes. I felt like I was lost in a huge swirling energy of love flowing from me to Amma Bhagavan, and from them to me, laughing and laughing all the while. And then, the integration period took me into a profound state deep stillness. Now, three days later, life is very ordinary, but at the same time, I continue to experience a core of stillness and ever-present joy. My mind will not engage for any length of time in worries or stories, and I know that absolutely everything in my life is the Divine revealing itself to me. I feel peaceful and at the same time invigorated, ready to continue with joy and passion on the path that is presented to me. Amazing experience and such total joy was felt and still in the same state today...2 days later. I feel as if my connection to the divine has just soared off the charts! The total environment was wonderful and can't say enough to those involved in making this a huge success. I felt a deepening of peace and a broadening of my awareness. It is still unfolding, I feel I am having deep changes, but I have no words to articulate what I am feeling. I recently got back from India, so having this opportunity to get together with all my fellow trainers and share in that incredible energy was amazing. One fascinating phenomenon I experienced was that due to several reasons, I got very little sleep while I was there. Normally that would have ruined my weekend, put in a fog, and made me really grumpy. None of those symptoms were evident; it didn't matter at all that I was running on fumes - AmmaBhagavan kept me running and feeling like I'd had 8 hours each night. Of course the highlight of the weekend was the OM. [Oneness Meditation.] I had high expectations going in and I wasn't disappointed. The most profound effect was the virtually complete cessation of all thought; truly extraordinary in my life. This was followed by a stillness, calmness, peace, and joy, the likes of which I've never experienced. I had to leave immediately for the airport, and that was a real challenge as my brain was simply not functioning very well. It's now 3 days later and I'm still in this beautiful place of peace and joy, and I'm completely saturated with gratitude. I was helping as a volunteer at the event in the DC area and was in the back of the room during the initial Oneness Meditation Session (there were 4). It was the most incredible experience. I have been at several large Oneness events and participated in many different types of meditations but have never seen the impact on a room that the Oneness Meditation had. Without even participating in the process, I could feel the divine energy sweeping through me. I did participate in the process in a later session and enjoyed it immensely. Comparing a hands-on deeksha to the Oneness Meditation is like comparing standing in the shower at your home to standing under a waterfall. At the Oneness Meditation, I felt tremendous bliss and love pouring to all of us. I couldn't contain my tears as I knew that deep healing was taking place. I felt and continue feeling this effervescence in my body and this energy clearing my eyes and third eye chakra. I continue to feel so much joy and love. I really hope that many people can benefit from this amazing benediction!! Tejasaji to a skype audience in the U.K. on February 4 about this new deeksha: "Because we are right now in 2012, this year is very important. We have been waiting for it and working for it for the past so many years, and AmmaBhagavan have been waiting for it for twenty-three years. Twenty-three years of their hard work they are giving it out as this Deeksha now, which is full of power, and people are moving into amazing states and experiences, and when people keep attending this Deeksha, it will be easy for them to get awakened. So that's what is going to happen." Immense gratitude to AmmaBhagavan for the magnificence of this divine benediction!
