Afternoon Pujas and Prayers.
January 26, 2005
Namaste my chelas all over the world,
For years your Ma has been calling the steps that go down to our Ganga THE MANIKARNIKA GHAT OR TIRTHA.
It is said that any one who bathes in the Manikarnika Ghat bathes in all of the Ghats of the world or all the Holy Waters of the world.
TO LIVE IN THE CONSCIOUSNESS OF BLISS OF THE MANIKARNIKA IS TRULY TO LIVE AS AN INTERFAITH SEEKER OF TRUTH OF THE HEART.
Mother Kashi is the River and Light of Liberation.
This is why when one does our MONTH LONG WORK STUDY, their lives are changed forever.
So many are on their third and fourth time Here in their Mother’s Home.
We have offered the ash of so many of our dead to our Mother Ganga.
They grace the Mother River’s Breast as She holds them close to Her.
Lord Shiva imparts different Mantras of the River Goddess to those who sit before the Guru.
Going all around our Holy Grounds today, I was reminded of Kashi in Mother India.
Our Linga called out to your Ma and your Ma heard Shiva’s Call.
In the very center of Kashi in India is THE VISHESHVARA LINGA..
This Linga of Light houses Lord Stanhu.
What a privilege to be living Here on Mother’s Sacred Soil.
In KUTI DARSHAN, your Ma taught MOTHER EARTHS TRIDENT TWO, DANCING ON THE ASHEN ONE’S CHEST.
It is such an ancient puja so ancient that your Ma got lost in it.
Kali Natha Yoga increases spirituality and stimulates Liberation.
It is the Yoga of Lord Shiva and His Nathas.
By doing Kali Natha Yoga, ( many take it when they come for their month long work study) one finds that depression can be relaxed.
It also increases the Feminine Energy.
The gentle tapping of our Mother Kali’s Rhythm Drum was so vivid and together this morning.
We all carried the same breath and the same rhythm.
When we breathe,in Kali Natha Yoga The Prana becomes all colors and at times one can see it.
This ancient yoga can energize and expand all types of bodies.
Even if you have to sit in a chair you can do this Yoga if taught by a trained teacher.
One will find that they are more intuitive.
Remember the lines in our Kashi’s Song and Poem that belongs to all of us.
SACRED YOGA TAUGHT ON DIVINE SOIL.
KALI YOGIS HEAR THE MOTHERS CALL.
CHANTING OM, THE BODY MOVES IN YOGIC DELIGHT.
DANCING THROUGH THE FULL MOON NIGHT.
GRACIOUS CITY.
HOLY WOMB
SACRED KASHI
BABA’S HOME.
Yes my chelas, this Gracious City is indeed our Baba’s Home.
And Kali lives Here you know!
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma Jaya
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
