The picture show - Maa

[Guest guest]

Dear All,

Today's photo on the group's main page is that of Maa . I have this picture on my altar.

This picture was taken on Mother's day 2003, and I can still remember

the events on that day. Maa was garlanded with one made of 108

marigolds (one of her favorite flowers). She was in a different world

as She called each of us, her children to her , hugged each one (ah

the power inside that 70 pound body) and gave us one of the marigolds

each as a keepsake, telling us that it would protect us.

(I kept the marigold on my own altar, but my mother, who was visiting

me, in a cleaning zeal threw out the dried flower .... much to my

angst ... When I told Maa later and asked for another flower, She

said that I should have preserved it in a nice box kept aside for

that purpose... Anyway thats an old story... sigh !!!!)

To me this picture symbolizes that divine mood and atmosphere that was

so tangible that Mother's day.

This photo can be viewed at /

(the homepage of our group) .

I request everyone to share pictures of your altar or from your altar.

JAI MAA
