Guest guest Posted April 18, 2005 Report Share Posted April 18, 2005 On Sunday I did the complete Advanced Shiva Puja. I found it very joyful and liberating. Today I did the Sundar Kand, one of my very favorites. I missed being able to chant it at the Mandir with all the samputs. I just read it aloud in English. But I love to read it in English. It contains so much teaching... like the Chandi Path. So, I am just about to break my 10 day fast with a salad. I feel really good. I went to work today for a full day of work. I feel light and aware and full of love. There is something I'd like to share with my brothers and sisters. After 12 years with Shree Maa and Swamiji, Swamiji has given me a name. It is Pahari Maa. It means Goddess of the Mountain or Mother of the Mountain. But you guys can just think of me as Mountain Mama. As in John Denver's song: Take me home, country road, to the place I belong; West Virginia, Mountain Mama, take me home, country road. Take me home, country road, to the place I belong; Pine Cove, Mountain Mama, take me home, country road. Take me home, country road, to the place I belong; Napa County, Mountain Mama, take me home, country road. (West Virginia is where I spent my childhood summers; Pine Cove is my current mountain home; I think you've heard of my heart's home, a Mandir in the foothills of Napa County). You are all such a blessing to me!! Pahari Maa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
