Guest guest Posted December 16, 2007 Report Share Posted December 16, 2007 Namaste Amrish: Many of us have made this transition from a life focused on the material, to a life focused on the spiritual. This was especially true for the first 6 months after I met Maa for the first time. She entered my life like Durga, yielding Her knives and shooting arrows to destroy the negative tendencies inside me. And boy, did She change my life. I had not desire to associate with anyone but those focused on spiritual life, I established an altar in my home, and stayed there as many hours a day as I could. I even slept in front of it, to the dismay of my wife. Anything that drew me away from the spiritual values and subtle vibrations of purity, I shunned like poison. I had no choice. Maa had entered my heart, and I could think of nothing else. When I arrived at Her Ashram the first time, She greeted me by saying: " Welcome home. This is heaven. " . That was the beginning of my love affair with Maa. After many visits over the next 5 years, She finally gave me and my family permission to move to Napa so we could be near to Her. Our entire family has grown in ways never imagined. As our Guru, She takes away our darkness, and brings the life. She is Shree Maa, Divine Respected Holy Mother. Thanks be to all that is Holy for Her arrival in our lives. Jai Maa Jai Swami vishweshwar , " amrish krish " <krisam76 wrote: > > Dear Sandy, > Namaste! Thanks for the reply.
