Guest guest Posted February 14, 2008 Report Share Posted February 14, 2008 Namaste Dear Family: tonight at the Divine Homa, Maa and Swami led us in a chant to Mother Chamunda - She who takes away anger and passion. Maa said She saw a form of Chamunda come and all of us felt the effects of Her visit. We were full of light and joy and compassion. A truly loving family gathering. No one wanted to leave. Those who had been fasting for the last week of Navaratri, broke their fast with a huge feast which Maa made Herself for Her children. It was Heavenly. Now as I type these words, I reflect on a thought which has come to mind over and over: Maa's teachings are incredibly important and practical tools to live a fruitful and God centered life in the midst of this world of change and uncertainty. In the course of my daily activities at the Mandir, I have the privilege of meeting and talking to new devotees who come to the Mandir, brought by their friends, and puzzled by the strange things which they see and hear. Yet, miracle of miracles, after a short discussion and orientation, they feel right at home, and want to learn practical techniques which will bring them peace and Divine Love. Maa's Grace and Love so fill the air of the Temple, that their hearts open, and the ego relaxes, and they become open and ready to receive the Divine Message: We are all Divine, we just have to wake up and remember our Divinity. So simple, so profound. Please share your Navaratri blessings and experiences. Jai Maa Jai Swami love vishweshwar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Yes!!! I saw for the webcam!!!! I thank you Maa with all my heart I thank all devotees that maintain the webcam. I bow in your feet with gratitude and love:) Today I was reciting the kavaca and I thinked about Shree Maa: she sits upon the lotus of peace. She is carried by the bull of discipline. She have the shield of method, the javelin of effort, the batttle axe of good actions, the net of unity, the spear of cpncentration, the trident of harmony, the bow of determination. She destroying the bodies of our thoughts and she instill fearlessness in devotees. She is our Mother!!!! Jai Maa! Please Mother there is no greater evil doer than I and there is no other that takes away sin as you. With such understading, do what is proper. Take may hand and show me the way because I don´t know this path very well. Love to all you dear family Love Maa! Love Swamiji! Love Sri Ramakrishna Deva!!! Ki Jai!

Guest guest Posted February 15, 2008 Report Share Posted February 15, 2008 Namaste Dear Family:Watching Maa and Swami chanting the Durge Durge Durge jai jai Maa, brought such blissful sweet tears of bhakthi so compelling we could not help but bow and touch her feet with reverence at which point she cooed "Bow your soul down, Mother is here." Those words reverberate like a mantra of sparkling devotion such that bowing down becomes an act of awe-inspiring upliftment so like Shree Maa we too can say "I love to bow down." inspectionconnection108 <inspectionconnection108 wrote: Namaste Dear Family: tonight at the Divine Homa, Maa and Swami led us in a chant to Mother Chamunda - She who takes away anger and passion.

Guest guest Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 Namaste Vish:Self-deprecation says I am too undisciplined, wretched, reckless, unreliable, lazy, stupid, indulgent, arrogant, disgusting, disorderly, ungrateful, pathetic, spineless, worthless to ever be deserving even of their most remote presence. Yet despite being so defiled with these thoughts, despite being so enmeshed in the duality of the world, despite falling down and stumbling through the chaos around me, the projection of my diseased ego, they inspire me to offer these repulsive qualities as divine offerings to Maa Chandi, they shine not only their presence but their love and wisdom into millions of hearts and souls around the globe including my own. Like the Sun their love is equally shining on all beings equally, impartially, Selflessly and yet with such kindness. This is the grace of Chandi who is so infinitely compassionate she does gently hold our hands and slay our heady delusions with one swish of her doubled edged sword once and for all and brings that shining divine wisdom to reign through all the worlds, through all our hearts, and souls to bless each lowly particle of dust. May we forever be blessed by always being in the Dharma of the Chandi Path.Jai Maa Jai Swami,Ericinspectionconnection108 <inspectionconnection108 wrote: Namaste Eric: She and Swami are so amazing.
