To Eric and all: Husband and wife-Becoming Shiva and Shakti

[Guest guest]

Namaste Eric: Swami has discussed the need to unit and balance Shiva

and Shaki internally as well as externally. Many of the points you

noted were included in those discussions regarding our internal

balance of these 2 states.

In the relationship between husband and wife, Maa and Swami speak

about the need for respect and selfless service towards one's mate as

key principles to achieve the same goal of harmony and balance between

Shiva and Shakti.

As Maa and Swami have told us,{and I paraphrase}, .... " one should

think of one's relationship as a sadhana, {spiritual practice}.

Regular performance of right action leads to success, while lack of

regular practice, leads to entropy. Where would you be without your

Shiva/Shakti? For a husband to be au-Shakti, is surely a state to be

avoided at all costs. "

Maa and Swami have given us a technique to help partners experience

Shiva and Shaki in each other. Every Monday, they suggest we perform

puja to our mate, The male performs Durga puja to his wife, and she

performs Shiva puja to him.

Imagine how the world would change if we could all perform this sadhana?

 

Jai Ma Jai Swami
