Om Ganesha, Morning Puja and Prayers. March 29, 1999 The Fog is heavy over our Ganga this early dawn. I think of a year ago when my sister Shirdi Ma, lay in my arms taking her last breathes. She would call me nothing but Ma the past few years. She had become Chela and wanted to learn how to die. Yet her last request to her Guru was for our Ganga Das, Ma she said, I do not mind dying as long as Ganga Das can be with you. She loved him so much. Her ashes grace our Ganga with the rest of my children who still live and breathe in my soul. The River flows toward love and truth. I bow to the Mother Ganga and all she holds. We miss you Shirdi Ma, my chela, my sister, my friend.
My prayers this morning go out to the Mother Bhuvanesvari. She is identified with the earth and being the earth Mother I would want her to bless my chelas with the ability to always want to meditate. This great mind of yours, chelas, is the key to inner expansions. No matter what form of activity one chooses to do if you meditate you will have an abundance of joy. I ask the Great Mother of the Earth to let my children feel the need to meditate on her form or on the form of any of the Mahavidyas. This will insure them great success in their lives. One can ascend the ladder of focusing and concentration through meditation. My Mother Bhuvanesvari, let my chelas know how to maintain the mental peace they will receive due to meditation.
You may say to your Ma, why do you pray to the Mothers for us Ma? I simply answer, The Mother will always come to her child, yes even your Ma is the Mothers child and I want you all never to feel alone in this life. Through all the forms of the Mother, you will find yourselves. Male or Female, you can find your self in the Greatness of Mother form, and so I beseech the Mothers to teach my children while I your Guru do pujas for you all in the moment as I sit at the feet of my own Guru.
In meditation you will be able to remove most of your vices and weakness. Meditate on purity and you will be pure. Meditate on the mountains and you will be strong. Meditate on the vast sky and you will have that vastness. The mystic consciousness is yours to watch unfold my chelas, this is my prayer for all of you and this is my puja, to watch your consciousness unfold like the lotus of God. I love you all so very much. Love Ma Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
