Celts and the Caribbean

[Guest guest]

My altar is extremely crowded too. I empathize with you. A coconut as Ganesh,

Matsyavatara, Saraswati, Hanuman and a picture of Hanuman from the Taos Shrine,

Parvati and Ganesh picture and a one of Baby Jesus and the Virgin Mary given to

me by a Bangladeshi Christian friend on the rim of the Hanuman painting along

with a booklet on the Haidakhan Babaji..Ghee lamps, incense, fruit, yantras...A

porcelin handpainted Durga is around my neck. (All I left out was a partridge in

a pear tree.) I have trouble understanding the uh, vociferiousness against

Christianity by it's apostates for the most part. I missed most of the

negativity, since my family was pretty rotten about going to mass, and I didn't

go to Catholic school..But I am quite offended by anyone saying their religious

gig is the only-est or the best-est. I usually call myself an Equal Opportunity

Prayer..

Best Wishes,

Denise

I just figure there are many faces of 'Spirit' talking to each culture and

whatever you choose to name the One is your business. I find them all

beautiful. Hey...I do the coconut for Ganesh AND Obatala ...cool! My entire

wall above my altar is plastered with pictures and posters of various

deities:o) Plus a big picture of Yogananda and Christ as I, too, have no

negative feelings towards Christianity. Yogananda spoke HIGHLY of Christ,

referred to him constantly and paralleled what Christ said with the Gita and so

on so if Christ was well thought of by Yogananda, that's good enough for me:o)
