Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers
August 30, 2005
Namaste my chelas all over the world,
Looking at the T.V. one can feel the pain and confusion coming through.
Every station has another heart wrenching story of some one lost or hurt due to the hurricane.
New Orleans has been a favorite City of ours for many years.
We know many people there.
The way one can help besides the obvious is to pray with a full heart for those who are hurting.
When one prays the prayers go out into the Vibrations Of The Universal Mother’s Love and touches all who are in deep pain.
A certain feeling of peace can come over the one who prays and does not falter in their prayers.
What I mean by this is that there is such a deep seated seed of the ego’s desire that the ego brings to the lower mind the feeling of IF I PRAY DEEPLY FOR SOMEONE ELSE THEN I CAN NOT PRAY ENOUGH FOR MYSELF OR MY OWN..
This is a deep false hood that the ego gives in silence and watches it take effect in prayer.
The ego will hover over one until its demands are heard.
The way out of this is to be very generous with your prayers.
Talk to the Goddess with in your heart.
Cry with the Goddess with in your heart.
Laugh with the Goddess with in your heart.
Ignore yourself when negative thoughts come in.
The body follows all lines of thinking especially those that are horizontal and thought over and over.
Your goal is not so much as to have your prayers answered the way you want them answered, it is to place your love and trust into the heart of whom you are praying to.
As you breathe in and out deeply notice how the mind begins to wander.
This is natural.
Do not try to stop the mind, just try not to be affected by it.
Notice as you sit if your uncertainty comes racing in.
Just keep breathing and begin to enjoy the breath.
Even this moment as you read the Words Of Your Guru Mother, feel how much the breath means to you.
Now you are becoming aware.
It is awareness of the breath that is the first step to understanding that you are not alone.
The way the Mother trusts you with Her Words, trust your own breath to bring a calmness to you.
It is the Mother who listens to your prayers, She listens and She hears.
All things the Mother creates is in a timeless space less moment which you can share.
As you watch your breath, say to yourself, I AM NOT ALONE, THE UNIVERSAL MOTHER IS ALWAYS WITH ME.
Feeling the breath coming in and out say the words for 11 minutes.
Feel the Mother with you all during your day and night,
This is my Puja and this is my Prayer
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
