Om Ganesha
Morning Pujas and Prayers
November 21, 2011
Namaste my chelas all over the world.
This has been such a wonderful week.
Once again I thank you all for my Tony Cho’s and my Sharada Jaya’s wedding.
And for BY THE RIVER EVENT.
You have come through for your Mother Guru and I am in ecstasy thinking how close you all are.
The River Paintings are a big part of our Lineage.
I sometimes forget that a lot of you do not know of many life times ago the Mother came to this life to walk with Her consort always.
Promised as a child of seven to be always with The Liberated Laxman, She went to the foot hills of the Himalayas and lived in Kashi receiving wisdom teachings from Her Beloved Swami until She was ready to receive Her Lord Shiva who is Laxman and who is our Neem Karoli Baba.
She lived in a small kuti with her protector Janaki Ma and received teachings every day from Her Swami.
These Teachings have stayed with Her for all of Her life times.
She use to call across the River to the other side of Kashi where Her Swami had His Temple.
SWAMI NITYANANDA DO YOU REMEMBER WHEN I CALLED ACROSS THE GANGA/
And then the time came for the Guru to claim His own.
And thus came the River poem which goes on and on.
UP THE MOUNTAIN THEY WALKED NOT HAND IN HAND FOR HE HAD TO SHOW THE CHILD THE WAY TO THE TOP OF MOUNT KAILASH.
WHEN THEY PAST WHERE THE TREES COULD NOT GROW AND THE LANDS OF FOREVER COULD BE SEEN, HE TOOK HER AS HIS CONSORT.
HE TAUGHT ME OF THE BURNING WOOD AND I KNEW WHEN WOOD BURNT INTO ASH, THE CHELA WOULD BE FREED OF KARMA.
SO THE CHILD SHED TEARS AS ANY MOTHER WOULD, SHED TEARS OF HAPPINESS AS THE WOOD BURNT AND SHE LEARNT FOR MANY YEARS AND LIFE TIMES HOW TO READ THE WOOD AND MAKE HER CHELAS TO COME TO FEEL THE EMPTINESS WHEN THE WOOD BURNT AND THE CHELA WOULD BE SET FREE.
A myth? maybe
A tale ? maybe.
A truth? definitely .
And so the river paintings has 108 Rams written by the Guru under the paint and the Shakti of the Mother and love of the Baba is all part of the River Paintings and the Teaching of the River.
So many have many different Rivers by the Mother.
You can not have too many.
When you receive the new ones I will begin to give personal meditations on the current of the Sacred River.
Also I promise to have paintings ready for your Christmas giving to those who also need to be aware of their own heart.
It would be my pleasure to do this.
For when I paint, I am always at the Feet of Our Neem Karoli Baba reading the burning wood and taking you deeper and deeper.
The Ganesha Paintings also have the Rams beneath the Paint and is a big part of our Lineage as well.
More to come later. Love Ma
Jai Kali Ma Ki Jai
Jai Laxmi Ki Jai
Always and forever at His Feet of our Neem Karoli Baba Ki Jai
