Om Ganesha,
Morning Pujas and Prayers
April 1, 2009
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Let us not complain that we serve too much, let us serve more for there is so much more needed.
When the world loses anyone who has served as tirelessly like our Kali Priya all over the world and especially in Africa, then She should be remembered and honored.
The tears flowed yesterday and once again I vowed to keep serving those with AIDS and those who are in need.
I am sending my own Ma’s Jaya’s letter, this will tell you a little bit about this great woman.
Serve my chelas and honor Mother Earth and your self.
Rest well my daughter, Kali Priya we will all honor you with our works and our love
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
Namaste Ma, I am sure that Yashoda has told you that our Kali Priya passed away this morning in Zimbabwe. I spoke with her daughter who told her that “Ma loves you” before she passed. Kali Priya was a true warrior goddess in the fight against HV/AIDS. She fought for those living with the virus to be heard, recognized and represented on the local and the international level. She touched so many lives in deep and profound ways. She was actually a huge figure on the international AIDS scene. Speaker/ trainer at every single international AIDS conference, a country consultant for the Global Fund, AIDS representative. She taught her Long Term Survival Skills workshop on almost every continent. However, our women’s project in Uganda was the only one to follow up for 4 years in a row so that we had the opportunity to actually train trainers who will continue her work. She was so proud of our program. She was a natural born teacher. The women loved her! She loved her African home and identity. My heart is broken but I celebrate her life and her contribution to so many. She was really like a sister to me. You know I met her briefly in 2001 at the UN in New York and when I found out who she was and what she did I literally stalked her via email to get her to agree to partner with us to help the rural women in Uganda. Thank you, Ma. Kali Priya loved you so much. We had planned to bring her back to Ma and Kashi this year. Your Ma’s Jaya
