Guest guest Posted September 26, 2008 Report Share Posted September 26, 2008 Dear Manjusha ~ thank you very much for sharing this passage with us. Can you share the source? It sounds almost like things that Steven Covey has written. In my experience, what is described below has proven to be true, and in "team" situations where the "feminine principle" was ignored or went by the wayside, I have seen associations and businesses founder and crash. Once this guiding principle derails, very little but the utmost dedication to come back to this center, can "save" the situation. This feminine principle at its base employs connection, communication, acceptance, and consideration (to name just a few). My experience with derailed groups and businesses has often shown that when a woman at the helm does not use these principles and, instead actively works to thwart them, this derailing occurs. It is very sad and, in my experience, it often occurs when the person's (male or female) desire for absolute power is at the core of the failure. This also creates a very sad and sometimes desperate experience for those involved. In actuality we all need to employ these principles, along with positive "male principles" if we are to be successful and, even more important, be happy and at peace with "all my relations (a native american concept). It is my humble view that the "Guru and the Goddess," Shree Maa and Swamiji, exemplify the highest degree of what employing these values brings to the experience of all of us. Jai Maa !!!! Jai Swamiji !!!! Linda Manjusha wrote: I wanted to share with all of you this piece of writing about family."A family that works is one where healthy interdependence issupported.

Guest guest Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 Dear Neirika, (what a lovely name!!) you won't believe the source - an I-Ching advise. I find such wonderful words of wisdom from the most unexpected sources sometimes, when I am delving deep into my inner self seeking answers. I realised that if we keep our state of being tuned and in a high state of awareness, the universe actually speaks to us and guides us. I close my eyes and think of Maa and Swamiji and love flows in...it's a great way of communion with God. There are such wonderful posts today about Ramakrishna and Vivekananda. They would be Maa and Swamiji's gurus, wouldn't they? Wow what a family!!! The honour is overwhelming!!!! Jai Maa and Jai Swamiji!! Lots of Love Manjusha , nierika wrote: > > > Dear Manjusha ~ thank you very much for sharing this passage with us. Can > you share the source?
