Guest guest Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 Daily ReflectionAugust 11 – SadhuOnce we had just rented a house in the back hills of Moraga, behind Saint Mary’s College in the San Francisco Bay Area. A few devotees were assisting in building our havan kund, a pit for containing the sacred fire. I took off work early one day to help with the construction. As I came the drive way, I looked over at the structure and saw Swamiji on his knees in the wet soil, forming the beginnings of our sacrificial fire pit. He was so engrossed in placing the bricks and covering them with mud and cow dung, that he did not notice me. I walked up with wonder, grateful for the privilege being in his company, as he smeared muddy plaster over the bricks with his hands. I thought, “Here indeed is a man who is in love with God.”from Sahib Sadhu The White SadhuCopyright 2001 Devi Mandir PublicationsFirst Editionwww.shreemaa.org mso-bidi-language: AR-SA"> --Love and trust in God.

Jai Jai dear Swamiji! i lay my head at Thy Holy Lotus Feet, that Their Radiant Purity might dissolve all Ignorance and fill my head with nothing but Divine Wisdom and Love of God. Jai Jai Swamiji, thou art Shiva...Shiva thou art. OM Namah Shivaya OM Jai Shiva Swamiji! muktimaa > Daily Reflection > August 11 – Sadhu > > Once we had just rented a house in the back hills of Moraga, behind Saint Mary's College in the San Francisco Bay Area.
