Guest guest Posted October 19, 2008 Report Share Posted October 19, 2008 Namaste all: Maa's singing melts the knots of stress in the heart, and mends the aches with the soothing balm of Her voice. Maa 's heart and soul is in Her music. She channels the Divine in each note, and raises the vibration of the listener, until they too can feel God in their heart. To sing with Her, breathing in time with Her, catching the same note, the same mantras coming through your lips, letting oneself go and melting into the song, and melting into Her,this is how life should be lived. The bliss bubbles up to our lips, and we all smile, the Sun radiating from each devotee. This sadhana, as natural as breathing, gives such joy, words cannot do it justice. Just listen to Her sing. Close your eyes, and let go. Be One with Her. Join us every Saturday night at 6:15 PM Pacific time, when we sing with Maa in the Devi Mandir Temple. View us on the web camera, and sing along. Also listen to Maa's songs stored on the Devi Mandir web site and on You Tube.
