Om Ganesha,

Namaste my chelas.

I want to welcome our Trenay (sp) to our Ashram.

I all ready love her deeply.

She makes my heart smile.

How do you like this for a welcome?

I also want to thank my Marcia for taking care of her Ma.

Now Our Shody has to study every thing!.

I want to thank My Vajra and Family and your little card is so true.

OH MY GOD!

I want to thank every chela for making Kashi what She is today.

I must thank our Amritha who for thirty five years has been there for Her Ma day and night no matter what.

I do not think I would be alive with out Her.

And of course to all my Homies, ( I got this from my Granddaughter Tina ).

You know who you are.

My Shody who is my life.

And all of you who work so hard for every intensive we have.

And all of you who do not shy away from hard work even after so many years.

You see my chelas, this is our time, the most exciting time of our lives.

And it is up to all of you to welcome every one who comes Here to our Sacred Kashi.

Every one of you must ask what it is you can do for our Mother Kashi.

Some times some of you forget.

Take a look at who served this Intensive and a look at who asks our Achariya Durga Das what they can do.

Thank you my Kimti Jaya for helping make Kashi Great.

And now we have the Yumuna and the Ganga and beneath all of Kashi The Three River’s Merge In the Guru chela’s hearts.

Let us start our New Year by running toward our Mother Kashi and helping Her to live forever.

The few can not do it all and the all must do it all the time.

You have asked HOW DO I GET CLOSE TO THE MOTHER.

So now I am telling you.

Put Mother Kashi first and foremost and your lives will change.

Work for the fruits of this Teaching and this will keep you all in the moment.

I am so grateful to be able to do so.

I hold every one so close to my heart.

My heart is the mirror in which you truly have to see yourselves.

Let us all work even harder to serve humanity through our hearts bodies and hands and Souls.

WE ALL CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.

I love you all.

Love Ma

Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai

Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba.

P.S, My Bhakti Camunda and so many of you, start this day by asking WHAT CAN I DO TO SERVE KASHI.

My Ma’s Jaya, I want a letter or some kind of communication every day you travel through Africa.

EVERY DAY if possible.

Now I will continue my morning pujas and prayers and say every name, every one of your names no matter what I am doing.

I am grateful for our Kashi and our Raja Ma’s smile.

And a billion other things, even the hardships which make us so very strong.

AND THE HEALTH OF MY CHELAS.

NOW LET THERE BE WORLD PEACE

I wonder if I will send this ?

YES HERE I GO.

In other words ALL OF YOU WORK HARD AND COMPLAIN LESS.

This is my Puja and this is my Prayer.

Love Ma
