Answers to some questions Indira is asked about herself:
How did you become inspired to meditate?
When I was about 21 years of age I read a book called Medjugorje: the message by Wayne Weible. It is about the visions of the Virgin Mary that were being experienced and are still being experienced in Medjugorje, Bosnia-Herzegovina. The Apparition is said to have told the visionaries to spread the message which is to pray, fast, read the Holy Bible and partake in reconciliation (confession). I believed the messages were true as they came from young people who lived in a communist country. I had some idea what it was like to live in the communist country because I visited my old aunt in East Germany twice as a child. I didn't believe a group of young people living in a communist country such as The Visionaries were living in would lie.
I began an intense study of the Holy Bible which lasted many years and I began to fast on bread and water twice a week which led me to become deeply meditative as I would join my prayer to my fast. I also began to teach reading the Holy Bible to fellow Catholics who found it difficult to understand the Bible on their own. Eventually this practice led me to Israel on a pilgrimage at the age of 48 where in a deeply meditative state and after experiencing a trauma by the help of Shakipat, I experienced my Kundalini Awakening, incendium amoris or process of actualization.
What is your ethnicity?
I was born in Canada in 1966. My father was German originating from Hamburg. My mother was born in British Guiana, her father grew up as a Brahmin as his mother was an East Indian Brahmin but his father was Portuguese (Vincent). My mother's mother was one-quarter Scottish (Cameron) , one quarter Dutch/German/English (Van Battenburg now known as Mountbatten in England) and on her other side she was part African (Weekes) and French.
What is your religion:
Since I am a blend of many ethnic cultures I am also a blend of many religions. Although my father was confirmed in the Lutheran Church he was a devout atheist. My mother's mother grew up in the Brethren Church, the Christadelphian Church and the Church of Scotland but at the age of about 10 she was baptized a Roman Catholic in ordered to go to a Convent School. Although my grandmother practiced Roman Catholicism she never gave up her Evangelical - Protestant background and took me to a Billy Graham crusade at the age of 10. She would read to our family from Our Daily Bread a non-denominational publication every Friday. My mother's half-sister is a devout Hindu. Naturally I respect all religions but I myself practice my faith in the Roman Catholic Church.
Blessings, Indira
