Om Ganesha
Afternoon Pujas and Prayers
Feb. 4, 2011
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
The lotus flower is not compelled to spread its fragrance.
To spread its fragrance is in its nature.
When the lotus of the heart blossoms it naturally spreads the fragrance of love and Shakti to all who come in contact with it.
When the Guru opens your heart the true flowering occurs and the person is not conscious of it.
She does not say, oh you take this love or you take this love, this happens because she just is.
Love does not happen it is always there.
This is why so many come before the Guru and become silent in the stillness of the Guru’s eyes.
Everything is transformed into flowing love around the Guru.
One soon becomes permeated with the higher qualities of the universe.
To be with such a person is to feel a love for the Mother take over your being.
The Guru’s Love simply happens, it is not done.
When I see my chelas walking our sacred grounds from my window overlooking our Ganga, I just let them feel the Mother Ganga and our love is shared by the moment of now.
This is pure energy and this is known as NOW.
Unconditional love is gentle and non aggressive yet when the Mother’s chela is threatened then the Mother love is fierce loud and destroys all who wish to hurt her children.
When you work through love and let love penetrate your Being you become very strong and yet at the same time very sensitive to the feelings of others.
One transcends his lower energies in the presence of the Mother.
The simplest lessons one can learn on this path is that Shakti is very powerful when combined with love.
When you close your eyes and begin breathing slowly in and out.
Your ego mind races with thought darts that are designed to lead you out of the relaxation of following your breath.
In Darshan The Mother stands between you and your ego thoughts and takes out of them any false energy they have.
The ego thoughts only has the false energy you yourself gives it.
As you breathe in and out of your heart center in a form of slow motion you can feel your self going more and more inward.
And one day in a split second it is only you and the Mother.
She exists only for you.
And nothing at all can come between you two as you are truly one.
This will happen with practice, I promise you my chelas.
The time will come when time is meaningless and all places are no place at all.
Samadhi is a dream with no dimensions at the gate of the Mother’s Garden.
And you stare internally before the blazing of light with in.
The Love of the Mother arches over you in perfect quiet and stillness.
There can be no sharp edges of ego thoughts.
Each day I call on my Mother Laxmi and invite Her in to our Ashram, Its holiness is yours, I quietly say with love on my breath.
When the night is darkened one can see the light in Mother Laxmi’s eyes.
She brings us all comfort and joy.
She is not a guest on our Ashram, we are Her guest in life and death.
I try to capture Her many blessings of Her eyes in my paintings and that is why Her eyes draw you into to them.
Gone out of your heart is the cold beat of being alone.
I look over our Ganga as I write these words and still after so many years I am astonished at Her beauty more and more.
I look at the Murties and watch the Shadow Gods of the afternoon dance in love with the Ashram Kashi. This Sacred Ashram Of Ours Is an experience of bliss for all who come Here.
I love you my chelas and love to share my life with you.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Jai Laxmi Ki Jai
Always at Her Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
