Guest guest Posted August 3, 2008 Report Share Posted August 3, 2008 Namaste Karen, Linda, and all: Whenever I refer to Maa, I mean our beloved Shree Maa. She is our Mother, Universal and Personal. I REALLY feel that we are all Her children, and we are all brothers and sisters. Devotees have come to the Mandir for the first time, and I am CERTAIN I have seen them before. They feel so familiar and it is so natural that they are at the Mandir. Just so, when I speak with you all here, I am talking to you as family, deeply connected and deeply personal. How else could I say the things I say. Since we are all family, I speak my heart, I speak what Maa wants me to say. The feelings in last night's post flowed after I prayed to Maa to communicate Her deepest feelings through me. She truly wants us to remember that we are ONE FAMILY, ONE SOUL. I believe that Maa sees us as Her children, and knows us more intimately than our birth Mothers. I have observed Maa meeting devotees during their first visit to the Mandir, and She will say: " ...they seem so familiar to me... " , and She addresses them with the utmost respect and tenderness: Her child has returned home. Why is it important to understand this connection to Her? Because She incarnated to bring us together with Her. On every level, in every way, She wants us to become One with Her. She wants us to share that supreme state of realization that She lives. So if we understand Her relationship with us, and with each other, then we can take the necessary steps to enhance our relationship, to grower closer together, and share our love to help each other. And, with each step we take towards Her, She runs towards us, with arms out stretched. She knows our faults, our strengths, and our deepest desires. She is our Mother, and wants us to succeed, and She will do everything in Her power to give us to God. Just as our natural Mothers want us to be loving beings, and nurtured us, Maa has taken care of us life after life, and never taken Her eyes off of us. She is our Supreme Mother and we must run to embrace Her. Jai Maa Jai Swami love vishweshwar , " Karen " <Koros7 wrote: > > > This is very beautiful.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Dear Vishveshwar, You inspire us all! Welcome home! In continuation of the response to Swamiji's question I think connecting with Maa and swamiji's divine soul through prayer, meditation fasting or simply reading the mantras they have taken pains to translate for us or even hearing their voices ... enhances the presence of God... and gives us a brother such as Vishveshwar and a distinguished family such as this!!! Jai Maa and jai swamiji! Manjusha , " inspectionconnection108 " <inspectionconnection108 wrote: > > Namaste Karen, Linda, and all: Whenever I refer to Maa, I mean our > beloved Shree Maa.
