Guest guest Posted June 27, 2007 Report Share Posted June 27, 2007 OM NAMAH SIVAYA Dan i would offer another perspective you might want to consider. first i think Vishweshwar is right the more japa the better. japa changes your perceptual direction, so instead of running away from home, with japa you see you're running to Home. and as Swamiji said whether ashrams or the world, most have a what's in it for me mentality. the only exception to this phenomenon is The Divine Mother. She already and always Loves you and accepts you just as you are. no strings attached. besides most issues you would use an ashram to get away from, in Reality are going to follow you no matter where you run. and while to worship in your home, with family around may be very challenging, if you are up to the challenge it is twice as nice. because to worship in seclusion or in an ashram is an opportunity change yourSelf by cultivating your Love of God through worship to the fire, a yantra, or to a image of God. and this no doubt has profound impact on an individual. but to worship in the world, in your home, around your family, you are given the opportunity to project that Love you have for God onto your family. to treat them as God. and while they may not even be interested in spiritual practice or will not know you are worshipping them, in my experience your projecting Divinity onto them will slowly change their consciousness. so consequently this circumstance is twice as nice because it not only uplifts the soul of the worshipper but also soul of the worshipped.
