from Tom Fenstermaker
To Ācārya:
(My personal impressions and thoughts about the impact Ācārya, BYD and its staff, and these teachings have had on my life.)
Ācārya, and his teachings around Yoga Philosophy have been instrumental in guiding me through the transition from the service phase of my life and onto the journey toward Realization and Enlightenment. These teachings have shown me how to move forward and apply these truths in practical and sacred ways in my day-to-day life, all the while deepening my silence practice in the hope of quieting my mind. The point being that I will be better prepared for my final transition at the end of this lifetime. How sweet and blessed is that!
It would seem that BYD and its staff have served as a powerful tool constantly clarifying Ācārya’s teachings into a sort of layman’s language that I can better understand. Also, BYD is like the vessel that holds and presents all these teachings in one location that can be accessed with the touch of the keyboard, opening the door to a rich and extensive variety of resources. It feels like a good family and home!
