Eric and all-Victory Day Faith-Navaratri Never Ends

[Guest guest]

Namaste Eris: thanks for sharing that story. High drama indeed. We

can all relate to it I am certain. Ah, how the ego loves to create

" poor me " and push us into the mud. Well, the Divine doctor gave us

all the cure, and thankfully, you had the presence of mind to chant

Her name, and She rescued you.

How Sweet the Sound of Mother's Name, it heals all wounds. it is the

balm of Yoga, of th sweet bliss of Mother.

We only have to remember to call on Her. Once we do that, she will

take care of the rest.

We all need to remember these " small miracles " , to help each other

survive the ego's attacks.

Who else has a great story of Divine Intervention to share? Now is

Victory Day, so let's all rejoice that Mother is Victorious, and will

be with Us Always.

To remind us of Her eternal love for us, She fed us prasad from Her

own hands today after the group Chandi. She wishes each of us

Victory. Feel that in your hearts, and go forward, Divinely Inspired,

and make joy and peace and love your song of life.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
