Guest guest Posted December 13, 2007 Report Share Posted December 13, 2007 Namaste: I will be glad to help you in any way that I can. Please feel free to address me directly off-line if you wish, or thru the club. Everyone of us began our love affair with God, by first falling in love. Then, we wanted to find a way to give a voice to the longing and love within our hearts. So, Maa guided us to learn japa, puja, homa, meditation, and seva. She has provided so many texts to choose from. Shiva, Kali, Durga, Lakshmi, etc. But, one has to begin simply. One has to make a goal, and then create action steps to fulfill the goal. If I wanted to obtain a masters degree in English, I have to build a plan to reach that goal. If I feel love for God, and my goal is to merge with Him / Her, then I have to create a plan and steps to nourish and deepen my relationship with God. Consider and solidify your goal and let me know how I can help you create the plan and steps to fulfill your desire.
