Auspicious Elephants

[Guest guest]

Namaste All,

 

Thought I would share the appearance of an auspicious gift that came to me on

the eve of Summer Solstice Shaktipat.

 

I have been seeing elephants everywhere since I came on board KAS-1 about 3

months ago, which says indicates the presence of Ganesha, who has since

blessed me with appearances in meditation, which i feel is something of a

sponsorship. So it's rare that a day goes by that I don't see at least one

elephant somewhere in my experience. I've been looking for an elephant for my

meditation area at home, but haven't seen any that really resonate... today take

a random turn down an aisle while shopping at Target, to see a pair of gorgeous

elephants with baskets on their backs, as tealight candleholders.

 

I found my elephants and they're perfect! I take this as an auspcious sign for

the shaktipat experience, not just for myself, as it seems from reading all the

posts here, we share many many of the same experiences.

 

Just to set the mood and follow the tradition of a Ganesh invocation before

embarking on a venture, I offer the following, that each and every one have a

blessed and fruitful shaktipat/sitepat:

 

Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah

Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah

Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah

 

RELEASE FROM EGOITY

 

Aum, Shri Ganeshaya namah! O keeper of the gate to the life of Sanatana Dharma,

open that gate for me to feel Your intricate mind moving all things toward the

world of the Gods. Open the gate for me to a life of continuous worship. Let me

enter a new world where my ego is not my God. Open the gate; let me through to

Your blissful world of trust, love and harmony.

Ganesha sharanam, sharanam Ganesha.

 

TRADITIONAL SALUTATION

 

Praise be to elephant-faced Ganesha, the Incomprehensible One with a sharp tusk,

three eyes and capacious belly, King of all beings, the Eternal One of blood-red

hue, Whose forehead is illuminated by the new moon, Son of Siva-Shakti, Remover

of all difficulties. Ganesha sharanam, sharanam Ganesha.

 

Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah

Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah

Aum Shri Ganeshaya Namah
