Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 The great Shakta guru (and a member of this Group, I am honored to say), Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Guruji), offers the following Shakta affirmations for us to try -- they are an easy way to begin letting Devi transform your life. Guruji notes ... Every one desires freedom, unlimited happiness or wealth. But when such opportunities do come, their memories, social status and fears of others disapproval become their handicaps. They bind themselves hand and foot by their own thinking patterns. They suppress their independent thinking and freedom and do not permit themselves unconditional love and bliss. They continue to spend their lives in misery. To overcome such self made miseries and to set you free, try the following affirmations. Read them every day and if you like them, make them your own. You will see your life change in perceptible ways: 1. My body is a temple. All parts of my body are made by Goddess and are divine. They are seats of all powers: manifest and latent. They are the real Sakti Peethas. 2. Sex is sacred. It is the source of life. Genitals are sacred. I worship them as Siva and Sakti. 3. Sri Chakra is located in all the female genitals at the clitoris. It has been called the Jewel in the Lotus. It is most sacred, and secret, yet known to every one. I worship the Sri Chakra, a circle of devotees to connect me to the source of cosmos. 4. Whatever whatever sins I committed, I did in a state of ignorance. Then I was in a hypnosis. Now I am awake. This awakened being did not commit those things. I do not feel shame, nor will I punish myself for what I was. Past is past, gone for ever. I forgive myself, as I forgive all others the wrongs they did to me. Now I can laugh at my mistakes, and others ignorance. Is a five year old less than a ten year old? All are evolving. I don't have to hate ignorance. Darkness cant be where light is. 5. I love myself. I deserve love. I deserve riches. I deserve joy, happiness, health. I have them. I share them. I will see people's happiness. 6. I will think of Goddess always. In my sadness, in my pleasure. More so in my pleasure, because that is when I tend to forget Her. 7. My mother, father, guru, guests, relatives and friends, and all help me; I express my gratitude for their help every day mentally and through actions. I will serve them with compassion. 8. Even my enemies have life; and life is Devi. So I respect them, forgive them, and try to look at their point of view and make friends. If I can't do it, I will love them all the same, do not reject them, but maintain a respectful distance. My love does not expect that they should love me in return. It has no conditions attached. I share because I like sharing. That is all. 9. Expressing love through thought word and deed are the sure means for unlimited abundance, health, and pleasure. It is my birthright to enjoy these good things of life. 10. In every outgoing breath, my anxieties and worries are getting out. With every incoming breath, peace is coming in. I am happy here and now. I have plenty of energy flowing through me. I am enjoying bliss, energy, wealth, love and pleasure independent of external circumstances.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2003 Report Share Posted August 18, 2003 My warmest Welcome to Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati to Shakti Sadhana, and Thank you; for your presence here have indeed bring honour and blessings to us all. And thank you to Devi Bhakta for posting this very powerful affirmation. "I forgive myself, as I forgive all others the wrongs they did to me. Now I can laugh at my mistakes, and others ignorance. Is a five year old less than a ten year old? All are evolving. I don't have to hate ignorance. Darkness can't be where light is." It is said that it is much easier to forgive others than our selves, for it can be very painful and sometimes distressful. Sometimes just to say : I forgive ! I forgive! can be very difficult to do especially for some people who are tactile. We need to have to do sometime practical in order to get the message across our head. IS there any practical techniques that we can do, for this "forgiving" to take root within us. I attend a Goddess Circle Seminar once and the methods suggested by the coordinator of the Seminar is that to write it down in a paper " I forgive such and such …." Seven hundred times for a period of seven days, and then tear these into pieces and throw it into the rubbish bin. I hope my question make sense, still very early here, a beautiful sunny day and the sun is shinning right through my room. These question just pop into my head as I was reading the Shakta Affirmation, I thought I just better ask. Please forgive if I am being rude.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2003 Report Share Posted August 21, 2003 Thank you very much for the affirmations. I feel I have benefited from them since first reading the post, and I am happy to have them to draw from regularly. I wanted to ask a question about the one about genitals: are Shiva and Shakti each and both in female genitals, as well as both in male genitals? I am also happy to know that the Jewel in the Lotus refers to female genitals. I did not know that. I thought it was a reference to the sex act that leads to procreation, referring to male and female genitals together. I think we discussed it on the message board regarding the words to a song or chant that kalipadma jokingly changed to "Oh Money, Come Pad My Home." Anyone remember other meanings, or am I mistaken? -- Mary Ann , "Devi Bhakta" <devi_bhakta> wrote: > The great Shakta guru (and a member of this Group, I am honored to > say), Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati (Guruji), offers the following > Shakta affirmations for us to try -- they are an easy way to begin > letting Devi transform your life.
