To Vijaya and Babu about Guru Poornima and our humble namaskarams

As we mere mortals luxuriate in the abundant and everlasting love

and ashreewadhs from our beloved Shree Maa and Shree Swamiji on this

HOLY occasion of Guru Poornima, we have to rekindle our heart's fire

to extract more of the DIVINE love and JOY from NAPA sthanam.

One can only say with some temerity and uttermost reverance that our

hearts and souls are filled with the GURU's parama KRIPA and

saadhvik...

Dear Vijaya and Babu ~ this is a lovely affirmation you have written, and I

would like to understand it better. (So, this is what I mean about

questions...) There are some words you used that I don't know, so my understanding is

imcomplete. I would be so very appreciative if you could tell me the meaning of

these words:

 

ashreewads

sthanam

KRIPA

saadhvik

 

a few other words, in your subject line and salutation I did not understand:

namaskarams

Koti

Koti pranams

 

As I go along, reciting pujas, reading the books Swamiji has translated, and

reading the digest, I am also attempting to increase my understanding of

Sanskrit, by which I mean the transliteration of Sanskrit. When I was in Oregon,

my sister, Mayi Maa, gave me a copy of the Sanskrit alphabet, so perhaps I

will start tackling that soon.

 

Thank you very much. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji ~ Linda
