Morning Pujas and Prayers
August 17, 2011
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
Your Beloved is always Here in the internal present.
We live and we die, we live and we love and we die again.
We live and we find composure and peace in our life.
We live and we find composer love and peace and we find Samadhi and then we never die, we return by choice.
Living in the moment is who we really are.
Letting every thing go that we do not need we can find all that we seek.
We can learn in our life and love the energy of being alive.
Even in the midst of grief.
We can always find the sense of grace.
This is what is said is our true nature.
Being immersed in the wonder of life we are ready for the transition of death.
This is how your Baba Neem Karoli taught your Ma and yet what I truly learnt is to always hang on to His Feet through life and death and life once more.
The Capacity to know you are never alone comes from the patient heart.
Every thing is in us.
Being aware what is in us and becoming aware of the feelings in the body.
The awareness what is in the mind allows the seeker to see what is truly in the mind and changing negative thoughts to positive thoughts.
Being aware of the breath it self, breathing in a long breath you are aware.
Breathing in a short breath you are aware.
Your practice seeing things clearly.
Paying attention to the breath you become aware of the quality of mindfulness.
You become aware of JUST NOW.
Yet you can bring your future any future into the now by saying all I want is on the way.
This is how you can enjoy your journey of being joyful.
It is all in this moment now.
Mindfulness brings balance and any thing you ask of the Universe it will be on its way into the now.
The poet Robert Frost exclaimed ANY THING MORE THAN THE TRUTH WILL BE TOO MUCH, JUST WHAT IS.
And yet what is can always hold what will be and both will meet in the now.
My dream of having a place for those who have reached their senior years to live and play and learn and teach has come to pass.
My dream is our living in the now and so much more for the future.
I just heard that by next week we will be filled with my original forty folks that was my dream.
And now I place my dream in all your hands, Help us keep it going and I think, no I know that we are going to need more homes for so many want to come live in BY THE RIVER.
I miss every one of the beautiful people in By The River and I will do any thing to give them every thing We can.
And so I am asking you if you can write grants or know how to fund raise get in touch with By The River’s Office or Kashi Office and live your Guruji’ dream.
The fastest way to find joy and liberation is to serve others.
I am so proud of our Ashram and the way we have served and always will serve in all my Ashrams around the world.
Walking on the beach ( yes to the astonishment of my chelas your Ma can walk on the Beach again after so many years, thanks to Shawn and Jess and the way they teach Egascue They not only gave my life back to me, they are also taking care of many of my chelas who also see the difference in their bodies ) walking on the beach I am taken back many years ago when as a little girl of five or six, four folks of African decent took me into their lives and gave me life.
Big Henry Old Hudson Chicky and Chews, were my first teachers.
I can still see their reflection in the great ocean at Brighten Beach.
They protected me from 1945 and onward and taught me how to share what ever I had.
We kept each other alive and that was the secret of our laughter when laughter was hard to find.
Even at the risk of their lives they took the little white girl into their world under the board walk.
And gave me all that I am now.
So you see they live in my moment and will live in my future as we all serve.
On August 30, at 6 PM Jess and Shawn of Egoscue will hold another YOGA NIGHT FUNDRAISER.
Kali Natha Tantric Yoga will be taught by my Shakti Durgaya.
Every one loved the last one.
And I will be Home soon after to hear all about it
Take care of our beautiful Ashram THE HEART OF THE MOTHER.
I had promised to write to you all over the world every day and I have kept my promise and will keep writing the Darshan Line.
My Ananda Devi Jaya ( my Andala ) is moving into the BY THE RIVER.
Auntie ( as every child raised on our Ashram knows her) will be bringing Her Ma’s Essence and Her Ma to By The River
I know that every one will love Her as I do.
She has given and given her heart and soul to Feed Every One Program and will continue to do so.
GET READY BY THE RIVER.
I am thrilled and happy she is going.
My Pioneer child and now that I can walk, I will be going there even more.
Visiting my dream your dream, our dream.
I love you all so very much.
Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Jai Laxmi Ki Jai
Always at His Feet Of Our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
P.S. Remember my chelas, you get this line unedited and straight from my heart to yours.
Mistakes and all.
The words are Darshan.
