Om Ganesha,
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
I have been doing the Four by Four River Paintings in the morning hours when I do Puja to our Mother Kashi and our Sacred River.
The River Paintings are the symbol of our Lineage and they have been sold all over the world.
I don’t do so many any more.
So when I do do them, look deeply into the paint and see your hearts.
One only has to call our Usha or our Swami Ramayana Baba or our Brooklyn Anjani and I will let you know if I will paint them.
I have great pleasure in painting for my chelas.
So many letters have come in from all over the world about the River Paintings and how lives were changed.
The story about the River Paintings is of a Young Hindu Girl who waits for Her Beloved to come down the mountain and take her as his own.
Up the mountain they walked.
The older God Like Man, and the young girl.
You see He knew who She was and who She will be.
And all She could see or wanted to know was Her Laxmanji.
Looking through the window in the kuti one looks inside themselves and knows that the little girl is looking over the Ganga on the other side of the kuti for all of you just waiting and knowing.
These paintings are simple and alive.
One could hear the child calling out to Her Teacher,
Swami NItyananda, can you hear me calling you over the blessed Ganga"
He was Her Teacher and would cross the Ganga to do Pujas in the Temples on the other side of the Ganga.
Just a Little Story, Perhaps a fable or perhaps a truth.
So much more to the story,
So much more every moment of our lives.
Here are our Shiva Ratri Ma. Rukmini Jaya and Bhavani Jaya and our Ganapati Ma and our Sundari Jaya Paintings,
All your names have been painted in the painting with all my love.
These pictures were taken by our Swami Rudra Das while they dried beneath Kashi’s noon day Sun.
Many many hours went into the paintings, hours of your Ma in deep meditation.
My Bharavi Jaya always prepares every thing for your Ma.
Thank you my daughter.
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
