ICODA HOLIDAY: Shaktinipata (Grace Descending) Day

SHAKTINIPATA (GRACE DESCENDING) DAY

1 August

Celebrating the descent of Grace in the disciple’s life

“Grace is experienced by everyone, but recognized by only a few. If you’re breathing, you’re in Grace. To be allowed to breathe, is a specific form of Grace. Grace-based miracles make up the very fabric of all of our lives, yet are commonly unrecognized, unappreciated and unacknowledged”.
~ Swami Premodaya

“You must make yourself available to Grace, attractive to Grace, vulnerable to Grace, receptive to Grace. You don’t get Grace—Grace gets you”.
~ Swami Premodaya

Premodaya recommends 2 things, at minimum, to celebrate Shaktinipata (Grace Descending) Day:

• feel the powerful awe that arises when one truly recognizes it as an actual fact, that Grace really descends into the genuine spiritual seeker’s life;
• recognize the miraculousness of God’s greatest gift: Discipleship.

And if so inclined, get together with other disciples and enjoy celebrating together.
