Just logged on from an ýnternet cafe ýn Alanya, Turkey and clýcked actýve topýcs.
To my surprýse the date of last log ýn was 23rd Oct 2006 - so who ýs ýt ???.
Then agaýn why should I be surprýsed, thýs ýs a global revolutýon.
Happy Birthday Yogani! 
And much respect for everything you have done and are doing.
Christi.
happy Birthday to AYP and Yogani!
Thanks for creating a place I can call home before I actually or hopefully reach Home (HEAVENS)
Since I discovered your site I feel safe and comfortable
I would like to thank you for all those supporting well structured lessons
and to you especially for promptly answering my emails and giving me support in general.
May God bless you for all your hard work !
Question for David and many happy returns of this anniversary of the birth of this awesome series of lessons indeed Yogani! (in reverse order, i.e. first the congratulations, then the question for David:-)
David: you speak of exactly 3 years ago when the first lesson was posted - Would you happen to have the exact time? As an astrologer Iâm curiousâŚ
Thanks in advance!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOGANI & AYP !!!
Words fail me, right now.
Hey.
Stop with all the laughinâ, anâ cheerinâ, would ya?!
Whew. All better now. Geez, that was kinda scary!
Though in all joyous seriousness, I will say:
Yogani, you and AYP have allowed me to incorporate practices into my Sadhana which have produced results that were not forthcoming even after years of practice with other systems.
I daily enjoy more love, awareness, peace, bliss, ecstasy and specific awareness of ever-expanding divine creative power - to degrees I did not even conceive possible, even a year ago â and in many cases, did not even conceive possible as recently as three to six months ago.
And candidly (if ironically ⌠) â I was skeptical, when first I first discovered AYP â the tools seemed so basic.
Who knew??
I have a sneaking suspicion that Yogani, at least, may have had ⌠a sneaking suspicion!
And, as seems to be the case with some regularity ⌠⌠Yogani is right in a couple of key areas (per his comments in this thread) -
*AYP is All of Us!
A reality to be celebrated, for sure â and one to be remembered continuously in a spirit of gratitude, reverence, service, fun and satsanga (truth acting âtogetherâ in a group), responsibility and duty (I would humbly suggest).
AYP is in its very beginning stages
As a group of dedicated sadhakas, as a satsanga, and as a global educational system and movement â weâre barely getting warmed up.
Creating and seeing the results, for each of us â and all of us â is truly too exciting for words (YES â even for me! ).
Itâs a lot of fun â and promises to be even more so!!
(And hey, if intermingled within that fun is a little enlightenment, and some staggering levels of spiritual evolution â well now, that sounds pretty good to this olâ kirtanista, anyway âŚ!)
So, like ⌠THANKS YOGANI â and THANKS to All of You / Us (AYP) â and again:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOGANI & AYP!!
AYP = All that Yogani has created â and all that we are creating.
Jayayam, Aum Shanti & Namaste,
Kirtanman
*Jayayam = Joyous Victory and Honor to This!
PS - 3 years, huh? Didnât some dude in the Middle East minister for three years, a while back? Hm. Wonder what happened to his teachings? I wonder what the results of those teachings are now, compared to how it appeared things would go, at the end of those three years? Hm. (Can AYP possibly grow as powerfully, dynamically and unimaginably as any of us can foresee? Or ⌠can AYP just maybe ⌠just maybe ⌠do so in ways far beyond what any of us can foresee? Iâm just sayinâ âŚ)
PPS â 11/02 â or 02/11 as Europeans render it (I think) â seems like a nicely auspicious number â all kinds of possibilities, when considering apparently duality, or dvaita (2), and non-duality, or advaita (1) - and the great non-Selfness of it all (0). What do you get when all those numbers are present? Clearly ⌠AYP! (Among other things ⌠or not-things ⌠) So, for any âfun with numbersâ types around here ⌠just thought Iâd mention this âŚ
Yogini, that I donât know⌠Iâm not sure if Yogani knows either, but you could ask him. (Maybe send him a message by clicking on his name.)
Shanti, you have shown such artistic talent that you have just conscripted yourself to make next years birthday cardâŚ
Hi Yogini:
The Main AYP Yahoo group was started on November 2, 2003 (no time available). There was a false start with nine lessons, which were deleted (donât remember why â no dates or times available). The first lesson (#10) is time stamped âSun Nov 16, 2003 11:45 amâ eastern USA. Hey, we can celebrate again in a couple of weeks! 
Not sure if you can do anything with that astrologically, but that is what it is. Oh, and I should also mention that the first draft of the Secrets of Wilder was written much earlier in 2003, so the writing started before the writing started, so to speak. As is so often the case, we just pick a date to remember and celebrate, and the stars will accept it. Or did the stars do the picking in the first place? Will we ever know?
Well, here we are anyway ⌠in the NOW. We have always been in it.
Thank you again, All, for your kind wishes. It has been and will continue to be an exciting joint effort!
The guru is in you.
I donât quite fit in with all the nice folks here . . . . . but HAPPY BIRTHDAY regardless!

:grin: :grin: :grin: You are not getting away with that mister!!!! :grin: :grin: :grin:
I could never write as well as you.. or be as organized as you.. You do a wonderful job.. I just put in a bunch of smileys together and had fun with the fonts.. so you don't get away that easy :stuck_out_tongue:
PS: Sorry Yoda, you post did not apprear the way you wrote it.. somehow.. once you post.. all the spacing is lost.. that was a lot of effort too. Great job... :slight_smile:
I only came to AYP and this forum about a month ago. I am happy to have found it. What better way to use a first post- Happy Birthday Yogani and AYP. And Thank You.
Welcome to the forum StevelbâŚ
Thank you for joining us.

This anniversary is fitting for the season of thanks giving and the unconditional love of the christ light.
Yogani, my gratitude to you grows daily with consistent practice.
God bless you.
Love love love, Hunter
Yogani,
Thank you very much for this incredible information that you have shared with us. I spread the word whenever I can. May all who seek their true nature find ayp.
Bill
It feels strange to say thanks. Your inner guru drove you to write lessons which our inner gurus drove us to follow. And the whole point is that this inner guru intelligence is impersonal. It is one. It is all there is.
But Iâm not enlightened yet, and I still labor under the illusion that some guy out there wrote these and I, a separate being, benefitted from them. So, from deep in the samsara (and steeped in the delusion of dualism), I gratefully thank you! And I look forward to such notions fading as I lose my sensation of separateness and cease to resist my inhabitation of this eternal momentâŚ
P.S. this would be an awfully appropriate time for folks to support this teaching via PayPal. Iâll start by paying .00001% of the billion dollars AYP has been worth to me.

Yogani and AYP
Ageless - yet Eternal
Thank you for making it possible to manage âon my ownâ - even after the fire started burning inside. Thank you for offering the world a space - and a tool - to share, understand and rest in love with our Being. The poem below was written in 2004. With the help of AYP (including all the beautiful contributions from people on this website) ; the weeness turned out to be seen as the open door it is⌠through which all is perceived as vast and all-encompassing.
True Age
How old am I ?
How old am I really?
How long have I truly
expressed myself freely?
Not long. Not long at all
Iâve swam in one place through most of my life
No more can I say I am grown and tall,
when for years I did not walk the knife
This is not my mistake
In fact, now is the point where I see
that you canât blame a phony for being blind to the fake
Now, at least I am me, though naked and wee
Happy Birthday AYP and Thank You Yogani.
