Pitri Paksha- to Morningsong and all Thanking Ancestors

[Guest guest]

Namaste: I will confirm your arrival. Regarding your ancestors, they

are blessed daily with your prayers and good wishes. Swami has said

many times that 7 generations in the " past " and 7 generations in the

future receive huge blessings from our daily sadhana. Daily we can

thank our ancestors for all they did to bring us to this glorious

space and time we are at, and ask Shiva / Maa to bless them and ask

them to continue sending us good energy. Maa / Swami has told me to

do this, and I do it daily.

Certain times of the year are more beneficial than others to offer

blessings and thanks to our ancestors. But, every day is powerful and

great.

Great are our Gurus who can verify the validity of our efforts and

encourage and guide us to greater beneficial practices and prayers.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami

 

love
