Prayers/Jamie warm welcome

[Guest guest]

Namaste Jamie,

 

The pleasure is much mine, no need to thank me. Ask away, no probs

mate (seeing you're from WA, hope you won't mind me using some Ozzy

lingo at times :-)

 

Seeing you've come here to this little Ganesh Family, know that your

so-called 'ignorance' is all but an illusion. You took the first

step, now the 'old layers' are gradually falling off to pave the way

for a new 'Jamieji' under the auspiciousness of Lord Ganesha. Know

that not everyone here knows everything (even I learn something new

everyday and everyone here are also my teachers. Let's just say

we're all students and teachers, no duality, no division, we are all

one).

 

Again about specific prayers, refer to Messages 2152 & 2153. Better

still, click on back messages and find Neil Campbell's postings. He

is by far the greatest teacher of all here (I bow deeply to his Lotus

Feet).

 

Different hymns for different reasons/seasons, please also check out

Neil's previous postings. In one or two, he'd shared a site with

enough info to satisfy just about every palate for that.

 

If you desire to pray to Krishna, get on the search engine and find

out all about Krishna, then dedicate yourself. Depending on which

traditon or school of thought, some seekers simply pray to just the

one God/dess (be it Ganesh, Krishna, Shiva, Lakshmi, Kali Ma, etc.)

During pujas, religious rites or ceremonies, many first pray to

Ganesha before the others.

 

Any Krisha devotees here? Please kindly come forward and share,

thanks.

 

About prayers, meanings and 'procedures', all these will dawn on you

with time, practice and faith.

 

Please Jamie, there's no need to praise people like me (I'm just

another humble seeker, older in years than you but not neccessarily

wiser).

 

If you (or any individual) desire 'change' in life, that 'change' has

to come from within you. As you progress step by step, you will

achieve a sort of 'transformation'. When you do, you have to thank

yourself for having the courage to make the endeavour in the first

place. In thanking yourself, you are also honoring the divinity

within you ( for example: Barbaraji said it very succinctly with

Namaste).

 

In any case, again the pleasure is all mine/ours here (time

permitting since I can't get online some days due to other

commitments). And to be able to 'help', even in a small way, is a

great blessing.

 

Best wishes and May Ganesha guide you,

Sy

Thanks for sharing Barbjee, absolutely beautifully insightful and one

which I feel each time "Namaste" is used. Yours, 'Zy' :-))
