Guest guest Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 Namaste Divine Devis Morningsong and Sadhumaa, and all family: This is Navaratri. This is Mother's time. Her time to purify and cleanse us of our sins and fear. He time to bring us the light of pure consciousness and awaken us to the Highest Ideal of Perfection. The first morning of the first day of Navaratri, Maa spoke to me in the Temple. She said: ... " surrender to Divine Mother and the Goal will be achieved " . I asked: " how to surrender? We cannot surrender our own egos. It is your Grace which takes the ego away " She replied: " do tapasya. Tapayasya will take away the ego and bring Mother's Grace " . My wife asked me what Maa said, and I repeated this message. Short,to the point, and profound. This is our Mother. I know without a doubt, that She will not rest until we are all eternally free. She is our Mother, and She lives on this earth, Divinity in human form, Absolute-Bliss-Consciousness in a 5 element body, here, now, to give us everything. If we suffer, do more tapayasya, and She will take the ego. She is the Liberator, the Emancipator, the Fierce Protector of the Pure, and the Enemy of the Impure. She is Fearless and Brings Fear to all who oppose the Dharma. She will save us. She is our Mother. Bow to Her, pray to Her, Surrender to Her, Chant Her name when the thoughts of fear and hopelessness come, and She will cut them down. She is our Mother Divine. Take Heart and have Faith.
