Today is a very special day in the history of the Divine Lineage Healing Center. On August 15, 2005, Divine Assistants International (which later came to be known as the Church of Divine Lineage and now Divine Lineage) was formally recognized by the IRS as a 501©(3) charitable and educational organization. We received word while in Penukonda. When we received the notice I immediately called Ramakrishna and we took the fax copy to share the good news with Sri Kaleshwar.
It was an early morning, and Swami was sitting alone, meditating in his rocking chair outside his private room, P1 on the 5th floor of the SW building. It was a very unusual place to find him at that time of day. We stood at a distance and waited quietly. Almost immediately he opened his eyes and motioned us over. When he looked copy of the official notification, he leaned back in his rocking chair and sighed deeply, smiling. He sat gazing over the treetops towards the Baba mandir for a long moment, then turned to us and said, “This is like giving a glass of water to a dying man in the desert. Do you know what day August 15th is in India? Its Indian Independence Day. Now it is another Independence Day, for the knowledge to finally come to the globe. There’s a lot of work to do.“
