To Kalia, Henny and all: Virtual Satsunga

[Guest guest]

Namaste Kalia, Henny, and all family: Each of us experiences reality

in a unique way. Thus, the joy of this satsung is sharing and

learning thru all our different perspectives. We are a family from

all parts of the Earth, and when we share our stories and questions,

someone, somewhere in our family will learn and grow as we open our

hearts and share. Even if the topic was covered in another chat, or

the question seems simple, we all need to review and integrate this

wisdom over and over, until it becomes a permanent part of our life.

Swami once said: " I have said the same thing many times, do you think

the folks are bored?'

I thought about it only a split second and responded: " Swami, we need

to hear this wisdom over and over. Each day, as we move in the world,

the stress and strain overshadows the wisdom, and we again fall into

ignorance. We forget and make mistakes. So, you need to keep

reminding us. "

Everyone, please send us your concerns, your questions, and your

insights. Swami is ready and willing to answer us and pray for us.

If you have a personal and private question, please send it to me

off-line, and I will forward to Maa /Swami.

This is their gift to us and they are directly involved in every facet

of this satsung. They love us all and desire that we reach the

highest level of attainment.

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
