Jennifer and all: Merry Christmas to All

[Guest guest]

Namaste to Jennifer and all family: What a beautiful message. That

love and inter-connectedness was so strong at the Mandir during our

Christmas eve satsung. Swami was so full of Jesus's bhav, shining and

loving and compassionate. Everyone felt such love and was lifted

together to the highest heaven.

Then today, I listened to Kumari's post of Swami's meditation on

Divine Mother. Swami again carries us to Her Holy Temple, deep in our

hearts. Thru him, She sends us all a message so simple and so

profound: " breath in love and breath out love. "

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
