Dear Maadevi and all

[Guest guest]

Namaste Maadevi and all: thanks Maadevi so much for the beautiful

post, and for your daily blessings to us all. Happy and joyous

anniversary.

Your message really touched me for I too have observed how

distractions have fallen away. Especially true during Navaratri as I

took a sankalpa to only focus on Maa and prayerful activities. As

each day passed, the ego's hold on me became weaker, and the vision of

Maa's face grew clearer and brighter. By the end of the 9 days,

everything else but Maa was unimportant and a mere shadow.

This demonstrates the power of sankalpa, sadhana, and Maa's Grace.

These pujas, homas, Chandi Path,and Japa which Maa and Swami have

taught us are incredibly powerful tools. Not only do they help us

focus, but they put us in direct contact with Maa and Swami. And

there is nothing more important than that.

As Ramakrishna said: ..... " take one step towards God, and He will run

towards you. "

Blessed is every moment that we walk this Earth, Conscious of our

Divinity. Blessed is every moment that we demonstrate our Divinity by

acting Consciously. Blessed is every moment that God is the Doer. Maa

and Swami, thanks so much for your Grace.

 

Thanks to all of you, my family, for Being Here Now.

 

Love

 

Jai Maa Jai Swami
