Guru Pournami 2006, Pt. 2: Become Part of Devipuram

[Guest guest]

Guru Pournami is the day when all devotees assemble physically or

mentally at the Guru's place to pay homage to their Guru. Why?

Because, like a mother the Guru has given the devotee a birth, a

spiritual birth through five levels of empowerment in Panchadasi

Mantra. He has put you on a path of self discovery, empowering the

divine love and beauty in you. He thinks and works constantly for the

welfare of all. You are all members of his family, Gurukulam.

 

There are many of you who received worship from him personally. Think

of that: the guru washed the feet of devotees from whatever social

strata they came from. He empowered them thus; that is His way of

proving that they are indeed Goddesses. In the Guru mantra, the words

"swaroopa niroopana hetave" occur. It means, "cause for proving your

divine nature". Guru Pournami is a day of re-dedication to God's work.

On this day we honor the Guru, and give some gifts to him enabling him

to fulfill the works of God. For getting our son or daughter admitted

to a good school, or to give a dowry, we don't think twice about

giving our life's earnings. Guruji thinks: which children are not

mine? Like you, He would also like to give each child the same kind of

gifts; a good education and marriage. On this day we commit something:

a percentage of our earnings; or time. Time includes japa or puja

offering the fruits for all; service at Devipuram for so many days

every year. You can help to give some delicious, nourishing mid-day

meals packets free to every pilgrim visiting Devipuram. Donations in

cash and kind are needed and welcome.

 

The common talk that Guruji has been hearing is that there are not

adequate facilities for visitors coming to stay at Devipuram. Plans

are afoot to create such facilities called "Sri". A dining hall with a

hygienic kitchen accommodating 200 people; a function hall of same

capacity to conduct group meditations or marriages; 30 double bed

rooms; 3 dorms for 72 participants; are all planned. The rooms with

built in baths will be available as time-shares at a cost of Rs

1,08,000. Each share allows every year, for life, 1 week's free stay

during oct to Jan, and one month in off season. For a cost of 5

timeshares, a couple can stay free permanently. A brochure is attached

with pictures and details. Please take a good look at it, and take a

time-share to help this multi facility "Sri" come up. Kindly refer or

circulate this letter and the brochure to your mailing list requesting

their participation also.

 

Did you notice our new logo of devipuram? It is a feminine symbol of

hills and dales, beauty, and the wealth of cosmos. Stick it on the

entrance to your puja room to attract cosmic abundance and peace into

your home. Our small English pamphlet has pictures of Sahasrakshi,

Guru and Meru. You can frame it and put it in puja. Just look at Guru

with love, you will connect to Devi.

 

An invitation for Guru Pournami is attached. [MODERATOR'S NOTE: The

materials Guruji refers to have been uploaded to the Files section of

Shakti Sadhana (select "Files" from Menu a left)] as Timeshare.pdf and

Devipuram.pdf. Hope they are of interest! - DB]

 

If possible come to Devipuram physically. If not, be present in

imagination.

 

 

Merging with you in prayer and meditation,

 

Guruji

P.S. A little more about timeshares:

 

I am requesting you to make Devipuram a "Global Resource for Goddess

Worship". How?

 

1. Gift yourself a time share in Sri Villa at Devipuram. It redefines

every year a purpose and zeal, and relaxes you into peace. It is a

small price you pay for helping yourself and helping Devipuram: by

creating a beautiful facility for all seekers.

 

2. Circulate the attached information, phone, forward this email to

your mailing list of friends. The attachments give details about Sri

villa. Let me know if any one is interested. I will follow up.

 

3. Think of this as an old age home, seminar hall, marriage hall, a

place for enterprising young minds to work and play. Gift a timeshare

or a permanent stay to your aged relatives. Give a holiday to your

younger family back at home. Put your thinking cap, magnifying glass,

and compass ready for exploration!

 

4. Need I to say more? Let the attached material speak for itself.

 

Love, Guruji
