reflections on The Possible

[Guest guest]

Yes, Vish, Chris, Nanda and Surya -- heartfelt, inspiring and wonderful

experiences with the peace mantra sankalpa. We are grateful.

 

Inspired by the ongoing heart-filled sharing of others in the on-line group,

we shared the inspiration of these experiences in our last post.

 

In light of Vish's and Tanmaya's invitations to reflect and dialogue on the

blessing of spreading the this prayer practice for peace, here are some

reflections on what made these experiences possible for us.

 

Shree Maa offered the blessing of an intention, a prayer and a sankalpa

that, along with Swami's multifaith-sensitive translation, has a natural capacity

to invite unity: so many already long and pray for peace in this world, as

Vish points out, that running full speed ahead with this torch involves

relatively minor, if any, hurdles.

 

We received the blessing and torch, and - also encouraged by the enthusiasm

of local Devi Mandir brother Sadananda - felt moved to run with it and aim to

pass it along in a simple way to people we know who are open to chanting for

inner and outer peace, those with whom we practice kirtan. This is a

non-denominational chanting group that could relate to the possibility and might be

interested in joining the fun.

 

Learning with Shree Maa and Swami's teachings, examples, blessings and

sadhana over the years energizes a devotional commitment to an intention of peace

-- ever-present and definitely present in this case.

 

As we aimed to reflect in the last post, the excellent resource of this

on-line satsang with its generous sharings -- the continual flow of sweet and

well-lit reflections of devotion and wisdom from family around the world along

with Nanda's generosity, organization and clarity -- also added to the energy

of possibility, so that we could swiftly and easily organize a simple way to

pass the torch to others clearly, concisely and with love.

 

Yes, Tanmaya, there was energetic transformation and burgeoning in this

experience of sharing the Mother's energy with others -- a crossing of a

threshold together into the realm of spirit where love really does make the miracle

of joyful unity. It's exhilarating and empowering to help motivate such

unfolding, to see what's possible, to know we can all do it again with a little

effort. With an awareness of being enveloped and protected by Mother's supreme

grace -- the same unshakeable love and blessing with which Chandi slays

Self-Conceit, Self-Deprecation and the great thought Impossible (chapter 11) --

it is energizing and fun to join the flow with unshakeable love, faith and

fearlessness that miracles are possible!

 

May the Devi Mandir family continue to unify in the loving flow that

emanates from Her gentle hands, inspire towards The Possible, and spread the

blessings.

 

 

Jai Maa........Jai Swami.......Jai Peace

Well, all I can say is, may God richly bless you (again and again and

again).

 

Jai Maa!
