Happy 80th birthday to my Dad @haroldrosen We call him Pops. As you can see he is a Tennis Lover. Always has been since i was a lil kid. Today he spent his special day playing doubles in the morning and then he and my Mom @joan.rosen went to the finals of the Miami in Open in ft lauderdale Pops is truly hilarious, he’s got a rare sense of humor and still keeps me laughing every day when we talk. He worked very hard his whole life as a pharmacist and always took care of his family first and foremost. Now that he has been retired we are all very grateful for his good health and that he is able at 80 to spend his days doing what he loves at the tennis courts. I love u Pops. Happy 80th Birthday.

Neem Karoli Baba said: it is prayers like the Hanuman Chalisa that can change your fate. In times of challenge and difficulty, where can we turn for protection and shelter...to Hanuman...He is called Sankata Mochan, the remover of sorrow and suffering. We know life is the dance bw light and dark. The dark can be very frightening and overwhelming. We can turn to Hanuman for help. Regardless of what even happens with the election, starting Tuesday, we will show up every morn...ing for the HANUMAN CHALISA 40 DAY CHALLENGE on Zoom EVERY MORNING AT 8am PST.

I’m the little blond one on the right. Ocean City Maryland 1979 when I was 6 years old. We were always a beach family, total sun worshippers... and being as close as I can to the beach and ocean has pretty much guided my whole life. What a trip to see myself when I was 6. It sure is miraculous how this body goes through so so many changes. As we learn in yoga the Self though never changes. It is eternal, beginning less and endless, pure and untainted. This Self is our true nature. It makes me smile so big to see my parents in this picture. They were pretty darn hip. I love them so much. @joan.rosen @haroldrosen #BrotherCarlRosen #family #love

HAPPY GURU PURNIMA! Today is the full moon day(Purnima) where the Guru(spiritual teacher) is honored. When we realize we can’t do it all ourselves, we call out for help. This is where the guru enters into our life. The guru is the remover of ignorance so that we may live in love, truth, and wisdom. More than 2 decades ago in 1998 I had a dream in the middle of the night where I was sitting at the great saint Neem Karoli Baba’s feet. @maharajji.neemkarolibaba I was crying and... crying and crying. He was laughing and laughing and laughing. My tears weren’t tears of sadness though... they were tears of love and joy. Tears of affection and gratitude. Tears that I had finally found Home. Since then Maharaji has been living in my heart and been my spiritual guide. Through looking at his pictures and remembering his simple teachings on love and through Kirtan and Satsang we feel wrapped in His boundless blanket of grace and protection. Maharaji’s presence has been truly a sparkling jewel in my life. #gratitude #ram #hanuman #ma #krishna #taos #love #serve #remember #gurusgrace #kripa @ Neem Karoli Baba See more
