Om Ganesha,

Namaste my chelas all over the world.
First of all my big brother Mel, Kali Giri and my self want to thank you all for your pujas and prayers.
There were moments that we thought it was over.
What a fighter.
Mel is in good spirits though very week.
He fought being in and out of a coma like state and his right side paralyzed.
80 years old and still working.
What a guy.
After months of being in the hospital he is finally home with his lovely wife Ellen who takes such good care of him
Thank you again
Well I did it again another video darshan.
You guys are so excited about it and my Swami Smoky Dhumavati has been bugging me as well as so many more, ok so now what?
Last night was Papa Joe’s 90th Birthday and it such a pleasure to celebrate it Here at Kashi Ashram.
Papa Joe has been coming Here for such a long time and we all love him to pieces.
He is part of my dream of our By The River.
So many so sick and so lonely.
By the River will take care of of those in need and will be right Here on Kashi.
Last night’s Darshan was filled with the joy that our Papa Joe is still with us.
My Naga Ma watches over him like a Mother with her child.
For this I am grateful.
One of my chelas whom I love very much has asked me to explain WHAT IS DARSHAN?
The word Darshan is a Sanskrit word meaning sight.
One receives Darshan by sight of the Deity or Guru or who ever their Beloved is.
The Guru teaches the chelas who come to Darshan the meaning of Devotion and faith.
Thus the chela has the awakening of Kundalini as the spirit of the Mother begins to rise from the base of the spine in the presence of the Guru.
I myself have the Darshan of my Guruji every moment of every day.
Darshan is the moment, a moment of sharing time and being initiated into the Sight of the Guru.
Prana that is shared when one is in the presence of the Guru stays and flows through the chela more and more each time they are with the Guru or in the thought of who ever their Beloved is..
Last night my chelas were in the presence of the Guru all over the world.
Words alone can bring heart sight to the chela’s heart.
Being seen like video Darshan is indeed a blessing for the chela.
What is hard to understand and yet so true is that the Mother Guru can see all Her children any time She wants to do Pujas for them and Prayers.
Thus even though at times the chela can not see the Mother Guru, it is the thought of one’s Beloved that brings Darshan to the heart of the chela.
This Darshan Line is indeed prasad for the heart and the Soul.
Darshan can be felt in the very bones of the chela.
When sitting before the Living Guru one finds them selves flowing more and more in the moment.
I will write more about Darshan in the near future
I love you my chelas.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
P.S. As you all must have noticed is that I send many Darshans to my first born Dee whom I am only 17 years older than.
She and my Chris has become such a big part of our Kashi Family and soon will be here once again.
You who knew the little girl thirty six years ago are still astonished that she is a Grandma and a dam good one at that
What bliss this is being a Great Grandma.
Ok ladies get your knitting needles out, Our Miss Dee is going to give Knitting lessons, she has been knitting since she was two, I kid you not, OUY VEY.
My Chris will be with me during the men’s intensive while his wife will be knitting away.
