Every day is your birthday...

[Guest guest]

Namaste all,

 

having been away from the computer for a while, I have some apologies to make to

those of you on the birthday list who did not get their birthday wishes in time.

I am very sorry about this. And now I am left with the problem of how to deliver

birthday gifts that come too late. But do they? Come too late, I mean?

Have you noticed how, no matter how old you are, there seems to be a special

something in the air on the morning of your birthday? How you feel you are on

the brink of something new and exciting, how the new year about to begin seems

to hold new possibilities? The good news is, every day can be like that. Every

morning, the world is new, every day we get the opportunity to become more

awake, more aware. The Divine Mother showers Her children with gifts every day,

and every day we get to share in Life's celebration.

So, to Donna (27th of June), Carie (2nd of July), Harsha (6th of July), Jorge

(7th of July) and Alphanso (12th of July): even though you celebrated your

coming into this world a while ago, today is your birthday!!! Please accept this

Song of Joy from the Devi Mandir Garden of Bliss as your birthday gift from all

your friends and family at the Devi Mandir and know that we are

happy to celebrate today:

 

" You made such an amazing creation!

You fill this entire creation

with Your radiance.

The stars glitter and shine in the sky

like jewels and gems

in a vast treasure chest.

Countless are the moons and suns.

Mother Earth contains

an amazing wealth

that no one can define.

She offers a bountiful feast to everyone.

Oh, Lord Shiva, vast amounts of people

praise you again and again

singing, " Oh, what a wonderful creation

You have made! "

 

(The Nectar of Eternal Bliss, p.379)

 

happy happy happy happy happy birthday,

 

may you delight in Mother's bountiful feast today and all days,
