Guest guest Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 Namaste: what a great post. Yes, blessed are we who get to converse with Maa and Swami. They are ever-present and will respond to all prayer requests. They will always talk heart to heart. I wish we could all remember to pray prior to the start of every action, indeed, that is what Maa and Swami do, and they are training us to do the same. Do you get to come to the live on-line classes every night 6:30 Pacific time? They are great and if you get onto the live chat, you can even ask questions of Swami during the class and he will respond. So great Jai Ma Jai Swami vishweshwar , " misra_manjusha " <misra_manjusha wrote: > > I concur with Gyandesh as well.
