Namaste my Soma, Namaste my chelas
My Soma has been running the Art Fund from the very beginning. In a little while she will be moving to Atlanta and will be part of our Sat Sang there. I am sure she will have both my e mail addresses buzzing. I love her with all my heart and she has done a wonderful job.
Once many years ago in New York when I was with my precious teacher Hilda, Swami came to me and told me to take on karma by eating grapes. My Himalaya and I were just talking about this in the Ganesh room last night where the Painted Kali Readings take place. I use to keep a gigantic bowl in from of me and eat peoples Karma this way. It was great. Only I gained about twenty pounds and on bent knee I begged my Swami to free me from this way. Well I tried lots of ways. Baba Muktananda had the peacock feather thing sewed right up. It is like a pattern thing. He and I laughed about this in India. There use to be a Saint in India who smoked Ciggys all day long. Not a good Idea for this Guruji, Then My Baba after so many years came along and told me now that I was established as an artist and did so many one woman shows across the country that it was time that I did what I loved to do Paint the Mother in all her forms to take on the Karma. I was delighted though hesitant and boy did it begin to flow. The colors started to merge as I and the one in front of me grew together beyond duplicity. I do not let anyone ask me anything until the brush strokes the canvas and then the process begins. One feels differently at once. The Colors blend and merge and I do Puja to that form of the Mother for who ever is in front of me. I do not see what it is that I paint I only feel it in my heart. The one in front of me does not see it also. Then the painting is finished. I pour the tears that the Mother sheds right from the bottle of Paint into Mothers eyes and then lift up the living Murti. ( This is tears of joy or of the Ganga and frees the Chela from crying) The paint drips from the eyes and the Mouth and Karma is taken. Every one is spell bound and so am I. I then turn the Painting around and I am at times shocked to see the beauty that Mother Kali, or many other forms of the Mother has given me the great permission to paint. I am in awe of the Mother. It is hard for me at times to contain my self. It is said that even the Gods feel safe at the feet of the Mother. It is a very special moment for Guru and Chela.
Who ever can do it can have as many as they want. When they are dried, they are sent out to the owner. I feel like I am sending them one of my precious Murties. Then you should use them as a Murti. Himalya writes down all the things and meditations that I tell the one in front of me and that is sent also. The business ones are put up in our blessed Dattatreya temple where I give Darshan every night before our Mother Kali Murti. There the blessings and prosperity goes on and on. This blessing is always there. This blessed Kashi is always here.
The Painted Kali reading is the will of my Guru and your Sat Guru. The blessings indeed go on and on.So many have flown in from all over just to have this done. I love you my Soma. I love you my Chelas. You need to get in touch with Soma for now for an appointment. I do them early on Tuesday and after Darshan on Sat nights. There is nothing like it for Guru and Chela. I love you all. Love Ma

Namaste Ma, I know everyone has already said it, but I’ll add my two cents - THIS IS AMAZING I was going to send this to you personally, but realized it pertains to all your chelas everywhere. As many know, this January or so will be two years that you have been doing the Painted Kali Readings, so there’s a traceable and proven history of the power of this tool that you are now using. Again and again, people who are having their 2nd, 3rd, 4th…express that there has been immediate and incredible transformation from their previous reading(s). Many have told me that things really start moving - sometimes getting really churned up - as soon as they request one and I put them on the list. This sometimes happens even before I’ve physically let you know that they’ve signed up. What is happening once someone has signed up? Could you explain why this particular vehicle is so intensely effective, which is corroborated again and again. Also, people ask if it’s OK to have another one if they’ve had one recently. I simply tell people that they should trust their inner sensing. Is this right? Is it sometimes too soon? Thank you, Ma; these readings are an amazing gift to so many. With great love and respect, Soma
