Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers
June 4, 2006
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
If I had the rest of my life to speak of yesterday and the beauty of my chelas getting together the most magnificent Bandara, I would not have nearly enough time.
This is an open letter to my chelas who worked so very hard to create a day of paradise.
They came from all over the world to honor their Guru Mother, young and old and I was in awe of all of them.
The next generation, my babies who use to sit on my knee the way our Little Natha does now.
They spoke with the elegance that I could only dream of.
The tent was straight out of a Hollywood set.
Bamboo trees abound.
Of course you know only a gay chela of your Ma could make something so magnificent.
Every person worked from the heart to bring love and joy to hundreds and hundreds.
I have never had a celebration like this before.
THIRTY YEAR CELEBRATION.
So much acknowledgment from the Community and from the Mayor whom I love.
My girls Bhavani and Kali brought smiles and joy to my heart as I made them sing my favorite song, SHIT MAKES THE FLOWERS GROW.
They were great.
I had to hide from my Radhe and my Tara as they told your Ma not to have my girls sing my favorite song.
You should hear my next favorite!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And then my Sampuran spoke and I lost it completely.
He spoke of my best friend my Yogaji and how much I loved Him and He Me.
My God, I miss this wonderful man’s form in my life and the life of my chelas.
Yet I know He was there with all of us and His children and His Son Sampuran who is such a big part of my heart.
Then my Andrew spoke with such simpleness and love and bhakti that the tears just came to my heart.
I looked over at His students and all of them were so proud of their Teacher and whom I call their Guru.
We honored our Andrew Cohen and he honored all of Kashi.
I watched as my children and his children video the whole Bandara and I had to laugh as where the different cameras were pointed.
My grandchildren were such a pleasure to have with me.
My Tony Cho spoke like the man he had become and I was so proud.
Our Soo Se leaves for Amsterdam tomorrow and I already miss him.
All the young adults touched me like never before.
Love, Love Love that was the deep essence that flowed like a river and touched every one.
Love Love Love was the essence that rose above the high white tent and covered us all like our Baba’s Blanket.
Love Love Love was felt like great quantities of golden waters flowing from the heavens.
The whole day and night held the secrets of the great universe of the now and the now is and always will be Kashi.
The Gods and Goddess opened their hearts of graces and grace flowed upon us all.
And then the band played, our Andrew’s band UNFULFILLED DESIRES and I went right into ecstasy. I held on to Andrews wife Alka and I just could not believe my ears or the way each band player had conquered their instruments.
Andrew was a genus on the drums and I was so proud.
A great performance and enjoyed by everyone.
AND THE GOLDEN CAKE THAT MY BEAUTIFUL CAKE DIVAS MADE!
Beautiful and delicious.
The only cake in the world that the Guru Mother could do Pujas to.
And then the Sanyasan Ceremony.
My beautiful young men became achariyas.
The whole night was dedicated to these two young men who have been with the Guru Mother since they were very very young.
Now they became achariyas and they learnt how to bless and to serve in the moment of Kashi holding them to Her Heart.
There is so much more to write and I will.
Yet right now I must say to my chelas, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I have taught you to reach for the stars and now the stars over our Blessed Kashi fall upon you with all of their gifts of love and life.
And I must thank our Baba.
Before I knew you this life, my Baba I did not truly know unconditional love.
Now I give the merge of your love and mine to all the chelas all over the world.
I am filled with gratitude for the way we all live our lives on Sacred Kashi Soil.
And this is just the beginning.
Nothing is empty and nothing is full, there is only the Mother Kashi growing and giving.
I love you my chelas, with all my heart.
Feel this love always and forever.
This is my Puja and this is my Prayer.
I love you.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
