In these times it is important to share our joy and enthusiasm with each other…to create balance with the gifts of the spirit that lift us beyond the things of the material world.
So…I felt to share with you today this story I came across about the late Robin Gibb (of the 80’s band called the Bee Gees) and his wife Dwina Gibb in a book called : What is Spirit? by Lexie Brockway Potamkin.
Robin and Dwina shared a spiritual path in their marriage. Each had spiritual experiences at a very young age. Robin experienced the spirit through writing music as a child and Dwina through prayer and trying to visualise a clear picture of the Divine
Robin has been known to say: “Music is my religion…I get from hearing a piece of music what many get from religion. To me it is a very powerful spiritual motivator.”
After the death of his younger brother Andy, Robin became even more aware of his own spirituality. He knew that “the body’s life was very short, and that Spirit was forever. It made me feel that time on Earth, in bodies, should be valued… to nourish the spirit”.
Dwina shares: “that I had always been guided by Spirit…and that when I was very young, I desperately wanted to see God. I didn’t quite believe this image of a big fellow with this big black book writing down good and bad deeds. I had a vision at the age of 8 that changed my mind to thinking of God as the cycles of life. The concept of God as a judge slipped away because I wanted to feel love. Even though I loved life when I was young and still do, I have always felt disassociated, like this wasn’t my real home. Luckily, in time, I was guided to a teacher who brought me home to God through a spiritual practice of mediation…and in 1998 I committed to the path of being a Brahmin through the Brahma Kumaris World Spiritual University. My yogic practice as a Brahmin brings me the experience of being one with all that is. Many forms of yogas teach about enlightenment and reaching the light. In this practice you can be in that light, see it, listen to it, feel it, and find knowledge–fast. You don’t have to sit in a cave for ten years. In a moment of silence, it is as if I plug into a battery~~and everything flows. This has brought me total, unlimited love and happiness.”
This is the form of yoga (Raja Yoga Meditation) that I share each Wednesday evening @ 6:30 p.m. on a small group conference call. To join us, give me a call @ 808-639-9436.
Now is the time for fully awakening as an embodied spirit.
With Love and Respect,

Enjoy Robin GIbb singing the debut of “Mother of Love”- a song he composed for Dadi Janki at Wembly Arena, in London. Dadi Janki was a great Raj Yogi~who shared the knowledge of the Brahma Kumaris with Robin.
Robin’s beautiful song : Mother of Love!!!
Dadi Janki left her mortal coil at 104 years old in March, 2020.
Aloha Beautiful Soul,
Thank you for visiting Enlightened Answers. These writings are my on-going churnings of deep spiritual studies and reflection upon the self - Along with this, there is constant meditation. Both meditation and daily attention to spiritual study which leads to awareness of the self have immeasurably nourished me and increased the joy of living and serving I'm able to experience in these times of great and sudden change.
It has also been my fortune to be situated in the Hawaiian Islands in the midst of the Pacific Ocean where I landed with my son 31 years ago. The past 25 years, I've been on the oldest, northern most, and serenest island of Kauai.
Many don't realize that Hawaii is made up of a chain of seven islands- Kauai, the Garden Isle, is situated at the top of the chain and is often called the "crown" of the Hawaiian islands. Kauai is also called the Island of the Golden Light, and the Island of Discovery for good reason! Truly this is where I was led in order to discover the wonders of the inner golden light ignited by the Supreme Light. It is here that I continually reinforce the awareness that- I am a peaceful, loving soul, a being of light*- just as you are. This journey has led me to surrender the rest of this life to the Divine Beloved, the One who loves unconditionally and who teaches the method to return to our original nature of purity, love, wisdom, & altruism. Through these writings- I am building a fortress of light with the pure intention that others may strengthen their own light.
For over fifteen years, I've had the fortune of traveling to northern India- to the state of Rajasthan- where the Brahma Kumari World Spiritual University is perched atop Mt. Abu.
This wonderful oasis of light is also called Madhuban which means Forest of Honey. It is a pilgrimage place dedicated to the Remembrance of who we truly are -- eternal souls. This awareness also brings us into the natural relationship and remembrance of the Eternal One- the Creator God- Beloved of All.
I go to Madhuban to meditate and study in a fully spiritually charged atmosphere where others are there for the same purpose. We are a spiritual family who enjoy solitude, as well as unity. We enjoy delicious spiritually charged meals, beautiful gardens, angelic music, and communing with like-hearted souls from across the globe. Madhuban is a pure, divine container that serves those who wish to live according to the highest spiritual codes. It is a place designed for souls to have a deep, rich, and loving meeting with the Supreme Soul. My annual journeys there have enriched my life immeasurably, beyond words. I've become a peaceful soul who honors the peaceful soul of you. I am a lover of Truth and hope that you are able to glean deep soul answers from these writings. Take the jewels that touch you, make them your own, and share them, for "giving and receiving freely" is a good part to have at this time of great transformation.
