Om Ganesha
Morning Pujas and Prayers
Nov. 5, 2005
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Bathing in the Ganga is like being reborn in the Moment of the Mother.
The River is said to be auspicious beyond measure.
I love that I am able for the past thirty two years to bring the beauty of the Ganga to all of you.
It is said that the God Shiva Viswanatha bathes in the Ganga daily.
And that the Goddesses Gori and Anapurna also bathe in the flowing waters of their Sister Ganga.
In India the Manikarnika Ghat creates the joy of death in life and the joy of life in death.
There is no Tirtha that is like the Manikarnika.
Just like there is no city like Kashi.
And so my chelas live on the banks of the Ganga and step into the Ganga from the steps of Mother Manikarnika on our Sacred Kashi Ashram.
So close to the cremation grounds of our Soul Here in Kashi and in India in reality of our bodies.
Last night I took my chelas into the depth of surrender to the Inner Guru Mother in the cave of their hearts.
It was there that the Mother could be felt in the moment and in the space of no time at all.
One could feel the Darshan of the Mother Ganga as they sat in our Dattatreya Temple.
And then the joy of The Yamuna raced through us all as we became the essence of the Gopis playing with our Beloved Krishna.
All this in one Darshan.
You see my chelas, each Darshan at the Feet of the Guru is always full, simply because it is She who sits at the Feet of Her own Beloved Guruji.
I often feel that our Baba has lead your Ma Here to show you the beauty of the self when the self is filled with devotion.
The Bhakta is complete in herself.
The joy of devotion is the joy of the Mother Her Self.
It is She who is the beginning and the ending of life and death itself and yet one can feel both at the same time as they sit in Darshan.
My God How I Do Love This Sacred Ashram Of Ours!
I give thanks every moment of my life for the privilege of living on Her Sacred Grounds.
My Pujas and Prayers go out to our Mother Kashi.
Take them close my Mother, closer and closer each and every day.
This is my Puja and this is my Prayer.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
