The Road to Vegas
by V. C. II

You know, for those of you who read this and missed Rama in the body, its really not that bad. You avoided a series of complications.

For instance, Rama always said that you must not take the feelings of the energy in a meditation hall with him for granted. He believed that much of the energy we picked up while he was on stage was from other students. Rama actually said we needed to recall a private moment with him or a spiritual experience with him to understand his energy. The energy we felt in the audience, from his point of view, was not purely da kine.

He would encourage us to take showers after a meditation, no matter what time we got home. This way we could wash off the trivial energy of other students and feel the deeper energy that he transmitted.

Furthermore, studying with Rama in the body is really a gamble. It was the Kali Yuga and Rama was doing triage. He gave everyone empowerments and then let us crash and burn as we learned to deal with more energy and the fact that we weren't perfect spiritual angels.

Rama was not a normal spiritual teacher either. He always liked "dark light" as he called it. Meaning he liked to see Enlightenment in things considered dark. He claimed to be a warrior Eons ago before he attained enlightenment. Rama once said many evolved students might not do well studying with him simply because they didn't have this gnarly side. Rama was also very sexually active and sometimes loved very crude sexual humor - this turned off some people.

Personally I just thought Rama was only a well-intentioned spiritual frat-boy when I first read his literature in 1984. But then one day, golden light poured out of his book as I was reading it. This was before I had ever physically met him, and trust me, the experience was the bomb. My view of him was set and locked at that moment and hasn't changed.

The card handed to you is pretty good. You could be like Paul on the road to Damascus; whereas some of us were more like Elvis on the road to Vegas while we studied with him.

I have always copped a buzz whenever I stared at a RamaKrishna photo so I know your path is as powerful as you make it. Rama actually once told us that he had many students on earth who studied with him inwardly, some who might not even know they were.

I remember one night in Westchester County in 1988...Rama was late and we got the message to meditate in the large hotel ballroom, 200+ of us. Rama was going to meditate with us while he was racing down to Westchester in his Porsche. Well the meditation was very intense, the room was full of his power and golden light.

Later that night, since I was a volunteer that month, I saw Rama outside with Vayu walking him on the hotel grass...everything had been packed up. Rama asked me how I enjoyed the evening, I said something then I commented: "That was pretty amazing...the energy of the room while you were in your Porsche"...he shrugged in and smiled holding his hands out, "Well you know...". That night I realized that physical proximity, although helpful sometimes, did not hinder people outside of space and time.
