[Rajarajeshwari_Kalpataru] Can some Amba Devotees Help

[Guest guest]

Respected Shreeram Balijepalli

 

With Ambas grace am a least devotee of amba.

 

The Problem with me is I take several promises, but i cant keep them

even for a month and keep doing the mistakes again and again.

 

Can you suggest me a way to overcome this hurdle and remain atleast

a least atleast pure devotee of amba.

 

Jai Bhuvaneshwari

 

Regards

T. Srinivasan

Hey,

 

 

Nice confessing. Who take promisses? Wrong person or those

who do not trust themselves. If you can not trust you how you can trust

Amba Mta or others? without trust nothing can be got successful.

 

 

Take this in positive way. Today night at 10.00 seat in front of Mataji, decide what ever you like ( good ) . From Friday see the result. BUT

 

1. seat on woolen ASANA

2..Some Dhoot or Agarbatti sticks. Both in front but at right side.

3.. Wear fresh white clothes.

4. Coconut -Narilel Prasad to Mataji with some swets and few Roses.

 

Your Face towards West with open head with no oil. ( Wash it first. )

 

Check the miracle.

Namste Devotee of Amba,

 

There is no one in this world who breaks Promises other than a Holly Man/

 

Our Tounge Is the Pen To Our Heart.

 

MaY be this will help.

 

1. Before passion can be revealed, perspective must be sought. Inorder to listen to your heart, day-to-day stresses, fears andconfusions must be put aside because that which is safe is notalways satisfying to the spirit.2. Search for clues in your past. It is easy to forget the paths youdreamt of trekking as a child, an adolescent or a young adult, andthe activities that truly intrigued and excited you. Ask yourself:What did I dream of becoming? What gave me the most joy?3. Understand your uniqueness and know yourself well, but never stopquestioning. Your passion lives in the activities you love as wellas your greatest talents. As you grow, these can change.4. Fostering your self-confidence will provide you with the courageto seek out fresh experiences and to take risks. Your own fears,criticisms, and self-imposed limitations are often the mostdifficult obstacles to overcome.5.

Acknowledge epiphanies. Often, life-changing experiences comesuddenly, and your passion may be revealed through momentous eventsor moments of quiet awareness as you contemplate changes that neverseemed possible.6. Be patient but when you find your imagination captured, act. Openyour mind to new ideas. Finding your passion can begin by taking upa hobby or attending a lecture series.7. Charles Dickens wrote, "All of us have wonders hidden in ourbreasts, only needing circumstances to evoke them." By delvingdeeper into what you enjoy, you create circumstances that will leadyou to your true passion.8. Recognize that positive change can be stressful and evenfrightening. Learn to thrive on new experiences and your passionwill soon reveal itself.9. In the search for passion, failure is always a risk. Don't let itstop you. If you possess the ability to rebound fromdisappointments, to try again and again, you will

never truly fail.10. Finding and believing in your passion is only the first step.When you have found the path that will bring you joy, remember thatyou will have to work toward it. Never lose site of your goals.

 

Pranam,
