Jai Shree Ganesha Jai Shree Laxsmi Ma. KI JAI
Letter from my Tony Ganesh. Namaste my Tony Ganesh. Namaste my Chela First I need to tell you how proud I am of you and second you need to know that it is time to come home for a little while. You need to sit by the Ganga and just breathe in and out and feel her beauty and the beauty of our Blessed Kashi. AIDS is not even begun to be over yet and this every one has to hear. It is the teens that I work with the most. My kids are in the street and refuse to see any one. They for a large part are infected and the others are not being safe. I hold them and love them and yes at times I lose them. I cry and beg and carry on but I never push them away. These are the lost souls. These are the ones that need us the most. No my Ganesh not every one is giving up. There are many good people who are ready to take the lead and keep our children safe or at least try to.My Chelas in LA go into the streets all the time in a large van and take care of these kids. Laxman and Tarini and my LA Sat Sang.and my New York Sat Sang, Big Durga Das’s crew. They also feed the homeless ones. They call themselves, under the bridges and into the streets in LA and Movable feast in New York. New York has its own River Fund. And they care, boy do they care. I never get discouraged, if I did then my kids who trust me and talk to me and love me would give up and then what. I can only go on begging and talking the talk and walking the walk. If you are able to travel so much, then some one is listening. I will pray and do Puja for you and your kids. God Bless you and keep you well. None of us will give up on these kids. They have to be educated. And if it takes a life time then so be it. I will go down trying. my Kashi kids are all trained to go to schools and teach other kids how not to get AIDS. For this I am grateful, May the light of God always shine on these kids. Your kids. My kids. Every Mother’s sons and daughters are so precious. I love them all. Love Ma

Namaste Dearest Ma, Thank you for this forum in which to learn from you. I cherish the opportunity and feel grateful. Over the past year my project for children with AIDS and I have been criss - crossing the country speaking to teens by the hundreds about living with HIV. (17 states over 2000 teens so far) Teens living with AIDs have shared their stories with these audiences, of how difficult the day to day life with AIDS can be in the hopes that those who hear their message will keep themselves safe from infection. What scares me though is how hard it is to get people to listen. It seems like people are losing interest in the fight against AIDS and are turning away - So many have said that “AIDS is no longer a big deal - you just take a pill and are fine.” or “Magic Johnson is cured so whats the big deal -its curable now.” After witnessing the truth of AIDS, I wonder how to help people (especially young people) realize the truth. We have seen that volunteerism is down in the world of AIDS and that over 15% of all AIDS organizations for children will close by years end. With infections in teens increasing this would be disastrous. It was your example that helped me to focus my energy on children living with AIDs for over 6 years now because I know it is the right thing for me to do, but lately I have never felt so afraid. We travel, speak,get on TV and radio, hold rallies in schools across the US, and England, tell the truth and it seems few want to listen and become involved. What can be done about this apathy. I can not imagine another generation having to face AIDS - I realize it is not my job to judge the result of my actions in this area - only to do what is put before me. But sometimes it is hard to keep going when people turn away so easily and kids put themselves at risk in spite of all the information they now have - straight from their peers who are living daily with this virus. How do I keep my balance? Are my expectations too high? What can I do to regain my focus and go on. The kids I know who live with AIDS can not quit so neither can I. JAI MA, JAI SHREE GANESHA, KI JAI! Love Ganesha (Tony)

Jai Shree Ganesha, Jai Shree Laxsmi, Ki Jai Namaste my Chelas, This monday morning i sit by my computer and wonder if this will be like Darshan where so many of you are afraid to ask questions of the Mother for fear of exposing your love, devotion, and truth. Do not wait for the Mother to write something to you. This is your time to get to speak to the Mother one on one. Come my Chelas. I invite you to hear answers from our Blessed Kashi. Indeed our Kashi is blessed with the blessing of Anna Purna. It is said that all who die here are merged with Lord Shiva. None starve here, such is the greatness of Anna Purna. I love you all. love Ma Shree Shree Baba, Ki Jai. Shree Shree Hanumanji Ki Jai Shree Shree Kali Ma Ki Jai.
