Om Ganesha,
Evening Pujas and Prayers
July 21, 2004
Namaste my chelas,
This very second feel the experience of being in the moment with your Guru Mother.
Listen for a sound, any sound around you that has always been there and you just didn’t hear or just kept it part of your life that you pay no attention to.
Close your eyes now and listen for a few minutes.
When your eyes are open again you will feel a new awareness.
Just a simple exercise to bring you more present in your body.
A moment to find out what is happening now.
After doing this a few times you will notice that becoming aware of different sounds will become spontaneous.
This is also an art of developing reverence for the world around you.
When you are reverent you are touching the FEET OF HUMILITY.
Lack of Humility is the connecting Karma of THE CUBBY HOLE OF PRIDE.
Humility stills the body and then of course the mind follows.
Life is a whirl wind of color and chaos.
When you can still the mind your breath becomes part of nature.
You are the holy and the holy is at the base of all of us.
When laughter sleeps then sadness takes over.
Beauty of heart becomes visible with every moment when there is appreciation of life.
When you can become one who is able to become inside of you then you are becoming aware of the language of the Gods and Goddesses.
When the heart is broken in many pieces, become aware of the sharing moment of sound and movement and love.
When the heart is broken one can not stop living as when the heart was full.
I knell to the ground before my Baba’s Feet, and there I share in the Beauty of His Being.
All color seems to birth itself before my eyes.
I shudder with anticipation of the touch of His Feet against my lips and the vibration of Mother Earth becomes waves of different frequencies.
At times when I look over our Ganga, there is a Light coming from our Baba’s Murtie, a visible Light going into the bowing chela before their Paramaguru.
In happiness or tears the Guru’s Light will always be there for the chela to absorb.
As the day grows slightly paler and Mother Kali is making ready to gorge Herself on Karma there is a continuous inward change in the chela’s Being.
There is a recovery of spiritual love waiting for the Touch of Mother Kali to awaken.
And so I ask you to listen to a sound which you never paid attention to and this is the beginning of Awareness of sound.
There is almost no need to close the eyes to hear now what you could not hear a second ago.
Sound is always reaching toward you and the ear is its destination.
The dwelling place of the Devas and Devis stretch in a dance of color as one does Kali Natha Yoga.
There are many differences in the Cubby Holes.
My Durga wanted to know about INDIFFERENCE AND THE DESIRE TO BE RIGHT.
When one is indifferent to life then he is so deeply entrenched to the thought of not expressing the least amount of caring and there is no thought of being right or EVEN THE DESIRE TO BE RIGHT.
Now close your eyes after you read these next few lines.
See if you can feel the presence of your own glistening white inner wisdom.
DO NOT TRY, JUST LET IT HAPPEN.
Write in your journal what you felt.
Perhaps you only felt a certain calmness.
Calmness is the first step into feeling the positive Karma of the Cubby Holes like the sun’s rays coming through the smallest crack of the Sacred Space.
Space is of a neutral color, not quite white and not quite beige
What is the color of space?
There is no color, there is only the Sacred Space that one can feel with calmness.
You can find this calmness through deep breathing for a few seconds before you act out a thought.
In this Positive Space there is a pulsation’s of such an innocent love.
AND THEN THE FEAR OF BEING TO OPEN COMES AND ONE STEPS INTO THE NEGATIVE PART OF THE SPACE.
As you learn to breathe deeper and more often than not, the breath will breathe you you will find such a soft and eloquent calm.
When you think that The Gods of Happiness has passed you by then deep breathe and awaken the Shadow Gods of your beings which is made up of both darkness and light.
A naked simple life will have you drinking and devouring your own sadness and depressions.
There is such a substance of holiness that can be felt when you can conquer even a second of leaving the Cubby Holes.
Learning about the Sacred Spaces is like having a blue print to your life that you draw yourself.
At times the Sacred Spaces seem to be places of shelter instead of a Karmic Net.
Do not be fooled BE AWARE.
The Spirit Of Life is in you even in the death of the body.
My chelas, become acquainted with your own Karmic Spaces.
Do not get frustrated, just enjoy learning and soon you will become very aware of all of life.
To be unaware is to hurt your self and others and to also become quite lonely with out noticing this until well up there in your life.
Do not let empty spaces scare you, it does not have to be filled with mind stuff, only love.
You all have it in you to come closer and close to your self and your Guru Mother.
I am always on your breath, you only have to breathe deeply to feel me.
The heart is Light and deep.
I ask The Mother Laxmi to fill you with Her LIGHT.
This is my Puja and this is my Prayer.
MY PUJA AND PRAYERS ALSO GO OUT TO OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE.
I ASK THE LADY TO ALWAYS WATCH OVER MY OWN WILD IRISH ROSE MY MATA RAM JAYA WHO TURNED 75 TODAY.
SHE HAS BEEN WITH ME FOR OVER 25 YEARS AND I LOVE HER SO VERY MUCH.
A VERY SPECIAL LADY ON THIS PATH OF OURS, THE PATH OF OUR BABA AND OUR MOTHER IN ALL HER MANY FORMS.
Love Ma Jaya
Tenzin Yangchen
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet, Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
