Love of a mother

[Guest guest]

Dear Lakshmiji:

 

Thank you for sharing a wonderful, redeeming thought on this Friday, a day

traditionally sacred to the Mother.

 

Although I did not serve my mother as ideally I should have, her blessings are

felt during each moment of my life. Singing hymns and reciting holy names at

Sanddhya time with her from age three or so till age 12 is the most solid

spiritual training I have ever had. She also taught me the second Dashakam of

Shreemad Naaraayaneeyam which describes the glory of Bhagavaan Shrikrishna and

establishes the supreme power of Bhakti as a path. Those ten sloka-s have acted

as a supreme mantra for me in the past five decades of my life. Pranaamam to

BrahmaShree Naaraayana Bhattapaada --the Rshi of the Paramam Mantram that

Shrimad Naaraayaneeyam is -- as well!

 

Because of the blessings of my mother and of course also of my father, both of

whom have passed away, I have not felt the need for another Guru in my life.

They taught me all I need in this life(Naama Japam and Keertanaalapam. An they

are always guiding me in my spiritual journey and my material life in response

to my prayers to them. As you said, God incarnates in our lives as our Mother

and Father (and other elders and Gurus and Mentors).

 

Maataa Pratyksha Daivatam--says it all. Vande Mataram!

 

Shree Maatrusvaroopaaya RaadhaKrshnaaya Namaha!
