October is now the month encompassing the anniversary dates of Swami Muktananda and our Beloved Guru Mark Griffin’s mahasamadhi. And, since Baba and Mark share the full moon lunar mahasamadhi anniversary, three profound cycles are built into the fabric of this time. In 2022, the Navratri cycle coincided with Baba’s mahasamadhi. And earlier this week, Diwali, the Festival of Lights, coincided with Mark’s mahasamadhi. Adding to all the fun was the partial solar eclipse this last Tuesday and the upcoming total lunar eclipse on November 8th. The two-week period between the eclipses is a time of tumultuous energies, and many astrologers say that the impacts of the eclipses set up an energetic pattern for months to come.
Pictured above is the new(ish) headstone at Mark’s grave site in the Hollywood Forever Cemetary. The photo was taken on October 24th at this year’s commemoration of Mark’s mahasamadhi.
