Om Ganesha,

Morning Pujas and Prayers

December 23, 2006

Namaste my chelas all over the world.

And there they were, my children from all over the Country.

I could hardly get out of the door to the Dattatreya Temple when I screamed out MIRA SHYAM and then proceeded to pinch her cheeks the way I have done from the moment she feel into my arms and took her first breath and birth.

So did K.P. Hanuman take his first breath in my arms born in our Achariya Rudra Das’s room.

My kids are Home and more are to come, I can not name them all for fear of leaving one out being they are all my heart.

I almost ran back in for the emotions of love touched every one so deeply and I had to compose myself, yeah this tough Brooklyn Guru could hardly speak after hugging and kissing so many of my kids who were born Here or raised Here on their Sacred Kashi Ashram.

Looking at my sons one could only think what beautiful handsome young men they have become.

And now I wait for my Grandson to be in my arms our Tony Cho.

And then I looked at all my chelas who also are my children and I began to pray for their hearts never to be broke and for them to serve others.

And I knew they did.

It was a night filled with stars and joy and laughter and tears and one of the deepest meditations of the heart.

I missed my Soma Jaya who is healing beautifully and my Sister Jaya who is some fighter.

The silence grew thick and the rising smoke of all devotion touched us all.

I cried out to listening Goddesses to bless my chelas and always let their faces be bright.

Those rows of seeds just looked up at their Ma with such love that I could hardly stand it.

Yes I call my chelas seeds of The Great Goddess Kali.

For they are nurtured by their Baba Neem Karoli and their Guru Mother and they are growing upright and glowing, burning with compassion.

Each chela brings a new breath a new life to this Earth.

They are the sweetness of the Sun Gods and Goddesses.

We have all gone through so much together and each has put the Guru first and foremost and each are blessed and their families blessed beyond comprehension of the human mind.

The night was swollen with love.

So many nights and so many days at the Feet of the Guru.

I spend my life serving and praying and doing pujas for all my chelas and they in turn serve so many.

One could sense the lips of the Wind God caressing their brow as the Mother spoke of love and acceptance.

I truly believe that each chela helps the Universal Mother balance Her Earth.

So each day and each night I sing praises of my Guru like whispers rising from roots and lifting to the heavens.

I will never abandon you my chelas.

You are greater to me than my self.

I can not describe you for you are my life.

You are the fruit of life that Baba has given to me.

Let my words of prayers fall into Mother Earth’s Womb and rise up again each new dawn.

AND THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE HOLIDAY SEASON, SO MANY MORE COMING HOME TO MY ARMS AND TO SACRED KASHI ASHRAM

I bless you all with His Brilliance and His Joy Of Life and Death.

This moment, this new dawn on our Sacred Kashi this poet Mother penetrates any sadness and opens the windows of your life.

With my own hands I shall crush that which keeps you separate from your selves.

And kindness will know victory.

I announce the arrival of this Kashi Dawn to the heavens and below the gaze of the Goddesses Eyes you wait and you receive the closeness to your Guru and to the Ashram that has given you life.

I love you my chelas with all that I am.

Love Ma

Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai

Always at His Feet of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
