Steve, I've been there just once, together with other devotees during a convocation. We sat on the ground to meditate and I remember the extraordinary feeling of peace that fell upon me in that occasion.
Dr. Lewis is buried at Forest Lawn also and the ashes of nuns and monks are at the far left hand side of the enclosure where P.Y.'s crypt lies. Also Daya Mata is near the entry door closest to P.Y.'s crypt. At one time I spent quite a lot of time on those grounds. I was truly blessed being there. I believe a girl friend thought I was morbid. However since she never seemed to be friendly a short time after-till now-i may have been blessed by having her taken out of my life from forces higher then myself. It is a practice of monks to do spiritual practices at burial grounds and I spend quite a few years with a girl friend who liked to spend hours at cemeteries and to commune with the spirits their. We r reminded of spiritual things at cemeteries since the physical body has released into a spiritual body.
I believe there is something to meditating with trees as well-a practice I have been much more involved with since being in Michigan. I know that we need wood but I really believe that 🌳 trees are living spirits themselves and it is blessing to have them around...they always seem to help meditation.
