Om Ganesha,
Afternoon Pujas and Prayers
January 5, 2011
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Mindfulness is being aware of what is happening in the present moment.
It means, my chelas, to notice the flow of your life as you are walking talking or anything you are doing in the moment.
What ever you are doing observe what you are doing.
When you are mindful your whole day becomes a dance.
Mindfulness brings the great qualities that you have to the surface of your life.
You all have begun a journey a journey into the mind.
Be patient with yourself.
No matter how long you are all on the journey you can always start again in the moment.
Like this moment, how are you breathing?
Is the breath longer on the in breath than the out breath?
Are you forgetting to breathe?
When you begin to pay attention to what you are doing, your intuition is sharpened.
Ask the Mother Laxmi what you can do to quiet yourself.
Here is the sun or here is the moon.
Here is my food and here is my drink.
You will find your self as still as a day with no wind.
Your own intuition can teach you in the quiet of your life how to judge how you feel at any given moment.
There are times your own intuition is whispering to you to slow down or speed up.
See the Mother in the clouds.
You can only do this if you are looking at the clouds.
See the Mother in a flower, you can only see this if you look at the beauty of a flower.
Feel the Mother besides you at all times.
Feel the Mother this very second in the center of your chest.
Your own breath will take you to your heart.
Look up at the sky and you know that the moment has come to greet each moment as a gift.
Listen to your body, teach it to live with joy.
Here on our Sacred Kashi there are so many places that forces you to appreciate life.
The Ganga Herself is a reminder that the Mother exists.
Ask the Mother to pour into your own heart the waters from Her heart of kindness.
Tell yourself that you are a gift of the Mother to your self.
The Mother will never throw you out of Her heart or Her life.
You are Her child and She is your Mother.
In the Moment there is only one chela and one Guru.
It is just you and your Mother.
Breathe Her In.
Feel Her deep inside your Being.
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Always at the Feet Of The Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
