Om Ganesha, Morning Pujas and Prayers November 25, 1999

Namaste my chelas,

I love you all so very much this beautiful Thanksgiving Dawn.

Look at your life this day, and give thanks to the Mother Kali. I give thanks this early dawn for my Sacred Ashram and my Baba who lives here and in all our hearts.

There is so much to be thankful for.

Count your Blessings my chelas.

Blessed is this Kashi of Annapurna. Blessed is this Kashi of the Gods and the Goddesses. Such Grace to live here. Such Grace to visit here. The Greatest Blessing is to be here. Kashi Kashi Kashi Ki Jai

Indeed this Kashi is blessed by the presence of the Guru’s Guru.

And now for our Morning Pujas and Prayers.

Would you believe that the spirit within you is a deep well of unbounded

energy? It is hard to believe when you are tired and worried from the chaos of the world. The ego which tells you, you are exhausted or tired, saps your energy or Shakti and keeps you with bent shoulders.

In this position in life, one can not find her deep essential God filled nature. Ignorance becomes a mystical veil of the ego. Ignorance actually is a disease. By calming the mind in meditation the Pranas flow freely through the body and all tension ceases to be. The mind can only be calmed through meditation. Can you think this moment, how much greater your life can be if all tension was gone.

Think how it would be without stress.

If you breathe a little deeper this day and breathe out a little slower from that deeper place, you would find yourself replenishing your energy. Constant deep breathing can change your life almost instantly. Chaos disappears during deep breathing and the breath fills you with fresh Shakti of the Mother. Try this today as you go about your life. I ask the Mother Laxsmi to fill you with Her breath of Prosperity. Breathe and be aware of your breath my chelas. Breathe and be aware of the Mother’s Breath my chelas.

Give Thanks for all that there is. Give Thanks for the Guru. The Guru gives thanks for Her Guru and all her chelas all over the world.

Remember your Ma this day as She keeps you in Her Heart. These are my Pujas and these are my Prayers. I love you all so very much. Love Ma Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
