Namaste my Chelas, I write to you with a broken heart. My heart had been heavy since the beating of Matthew Shephard. We are all here in Sanibel and I find myself wanting to do something that will and must make a difference, This young man could be one of my own children, any one of my Gay children. I have feared for my children for many years. I have prayed for God to keep them all safe. This hate must be stopped. As soon as I get home to my beloved Kashi which is a haven for those who have been prejudiced against, I will think of something for all of us to do together as a group across the country. I remember holding my Children as they were dying one by one, to my breast. This fight is ours to win, this fight is everyone’s to win. This is not about gay or straight, this is about hate. I have lost most of my family in the holocaust. They have said that it could never happen again. It is happening. It is happening all over the world. I am being quite raw now, as my English Harry would say. WE CAN NOT SIT BY AND LET THIS BE YESTERDAYS NEWS. I will get in touch with my Shambo R and my Big Durga Das and see what we as people of God can do. It is enough!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am afraid for my babies. Old or young you are ALL my babies.
I can only hold you, Ma’s Judy and Mara Tara and tell you at this point I your Ma, your Guru, need all your love and support. There is no need to teach you of God and Samadhi or Mother Kali or even Baba if you will not stand tall and take a stand. It is time now to look deep in your heart, not just now because of Matthew, but always because we are human beings on a path. I hold you all so close to me and to our Baba as I touch the feet of Mother Kali. I will be in touch, I love you all, and want all my children safe. Love Ma
