Question
For Nayaswami Gyandev - read with interest your comments on listening to the sound of AUM from the right ear. Have you ever heard of a Guru kissing an initiate on the right ear? If so, it's meaning. Thanks.

Answer
Hello Sandy,
I’ve never heard of a guru kissing an initiate on the right ear, although I suppose it may have happened. Perhaps it’s even common in some lineages. It’s not, however, a part of Paramhansa Yogananda’s lineage.
So I can’t speculate on the ear-specific meaning, other than the obvious thought that it would be an additional offering of the guru’s spiritual vibrations to the disciple. One would hope that the disciple would receive such a gesture in a spiritually healthy way.
Blessings,
Gyandev
