Om Ganesha,
Afternoon Pujas and Prayers From Our Sacred Kashi Ashram
Feb. 27, 2009
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Many years ago I use to play my music to take Karma and keep hearts open.
Over the years my Nirmal kept me in beautiful music of my choice.
Now it seems as I listen to the music it is for my own enjoyment and also the taking of karma,
The two seem to mix together.
And together it comes out into the atmosphere bringing joy to the human and spiritual heart.
Meditation has become our music and our music became our meditation.
The sweet sounds of the Classical to Diana Washington and to Arlo and so many others merge together and leaves our hearts open and full.
Kirtan is the sweetest music to the seeker’s ears and I am proud of my Kirtan Wallas and my Amba and all who visit us and sing to the Mother.
I realize that I mostly write the Darshan Line to the voice of my Arlo and so many others.
And then to listen to the Gods and Goddesses sing to each other and to the Formless is still the best of the best.
As meditation invites you back into it, you begin to make your own music.
Yes my chelas meditation does indeed invite you back and many times you can not refuse.
It is like making a date with your Beloved, a date that you look forward to all day and night long.
I shared jazz with our Saraswati Ganga Ma more than any of you knew.
She knew the great ones and tomorrow we celebrate her life at her memorial.
Yet I always will celebrate with every note of music I hear.
Our lives are a continuous flow of love.
I probably would not be Here in the flesh if it wasn’t constant monitoring from my own Amritha who has never stopped taking care of her Ma up to this day, no this second.
I love you my Amritha
I love you all.
Experiences weave itself with in one another.
And Bina was there for it all.
I watched as my Chandra Devi desperately tried to save lives, save my children from AIDS.
And the music is heard.
The music of life.
About 25 years or more ago it would by just me and my Swami Anjani and my Shanti Mayee making music in the back, ( your Ma of course on the drums )
And how many times have me and Swami Durga Das and Swami Laxman Das danced till dawn and went to eat the biggest breakfast you could eat as the pounds went up.
( where else would they go ) always under the watchful eye of my Yashoda.
There were no division of experience, I was taking my children to God and Goddess and they were coming.
Did you know that my Arlo and I use to walk in the middle of the road in New Jersey when we were there for the birth of my Grandson Jai
I can go on and on, perhaps I am getting older or the experiences are repeating themselves so one could understand better,
Sushi Pie would stare at my hair in L.A. and finally screamed out in front of every one, ( i wont say what she said ) and took my hair over.
So much is new and yet so much is the same as you all grow closer and closer to the Guru Mother’s Heart and the Baba Neem Karoli’s Feet.
It is all music created by the master Hanuman
And I get ready for Darshan and the second weekend of Kali Natha Teacher Training Course.
I am loving it more and more, and my Shakti is doing a splendid job and the Teachers are receiving such a great and intimate teaching
My chelas I am going over in my heart and my mind all of your names like my Twameva and yet I can not find the time or the space to write about you all.
So consider your self known by the Mother more and more deeply ever day, just ask my Raja Ma Jaya
And our Naga Baba our Billy who is always with his Ma.
I remember taking a picture of me and my Achariya Shiva when we both turned fifty laughing that we made it together now soon we will both be seventy.
I better stop writing so I can get ready for our Darshan
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
