Experience of fragrance of incense sticks and a peaceful feeling, after chanting
    For the past few months, I have been doing spiritual practice under the guidance of the Sanatan. As a part of my spiritual practice, I have been daily chanting (repeating) the Name of my family deity, studying the Sanatan's publications and other spiritual texts. My spiritual guide recently advised me to chant, "Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram*" for 15 minutes everyday. Ever since, I have been doing so diligently. I have noticed that I feel peaceful when I do this chant. Last week, when I was doing this chant, I experienced the fragrance of incense sticks, despite not lighting any.

    [This is a spiritual experience associated with the Absolute Earth element (Pruthvitattva). A seeker often gets such spiritual experiences during the initial stages of spiritual practice to affirm his faith in the path, showing that he has undertaken the correct path.

Experience of learning Spirituality at a subtle level
    For the past few months, I have been doing spiritual practice under the guidance of the Sanatan. Currently I am in India, where I recently wed my fiance and fellow seeker, Mr. Pradeesh Raj. Shortly after the wedding, Pradeesh and I attended a satsang conducted by the Sanatan Sanstha. The satsang was conducted by an evolved seeker, Mr. Chandrashekhar Naik. Though he spoke in Hindi, the Indian national language, which I do not understand, I perceived the divine consciousness (chaitanya) in Mr. Naik's speech and had several other spiritual experiences, which taught me a lot at the subtle level. Later on, when I shared this experience with another seeker, I was told that during the satsang, Mr. Naik had mentioned that in Spirituality, only 2% learning occurs at the gross level, while the rest occurs at the subtle level. Thus, I was able to learn this teaching through actual experience.
