Om Ganesha,

Evening Pujas and Prayers

Sept. 21, 2001

Namaste my chelas all over the world.

For the past few days now I have been preparing you all for the beauty of Mother Laxmi Puja.

If you remember your lists from last year, you will find that so much has come to pass.

You who meditate on the Mother follow an ancient lineage of the Shakti Achariyas that date back beyond the dawn of history.

The sages of old bequeathed their wisdom and their prayers for the well being of those who were to follow in future centuries.

I ask of the Mother Laxmi to bring you all good health prosperity, love longevity and success in all you do.

I know in my heart that walking on our sacred Kashi Ashram the clouds of thoughts and negative feelings drift and dissolve in the vast sky of your heart.

The Mother Laxmi whispers to all of us rays of hope and joy.

Here is my place whispers your Soul, of Kashi.

My chelas, as you read these words know you have the strength of the lion and the joy of Lord Krishna.

Push past your thoughts and feel your heart, the heart of the Mother Laxmi.

This is the time of the Mother.

Tomorrow we celebrate the Black Mother.

And the Black Mother makes Herself known to us.

Sleep this night in the sound of Om.

Sleep this night in the arms of the Mother.

Know this night, that your Guru Mother lives for you and watches over you and loves you.

Love Ma

Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai

Jai Laxmi Ki Jai

Always at the Feet of our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
