Diwali and the lighter side of life

[Guest guest]

Once again a very happy Diwali to everyone. My 9th Kali Sankalpa,

along with the Diwali Day sankalpa completed successfully. ( I also

found out the name #901 of Lakshmi is Nanda - my name . Lakshmi seems

suddenly VERY interesting )

 

Kali DID help ! She left me feeling lighter this Diwali and made it a VERY memorable one.

 

I have to say this - were I back in my hometown in India, I would not

have spent the Diwali as I did - in prayer and contemplation. It

would have probably been spent with shopping, and feasting and

generally making merry without a thought for tomorow. It is really

the grace of Maa and Swamiji for providing us this forum and this

satsanga to encourage each other in our practices. And what a

beautiful outcome - this sankalpa and many such sankalpas before,

where we have used the support system to grow in our practices.

 

I thank Maa and Swamiji for providing us this oasis of prayer and

meditation in the desert of worldliness. For the refuge amidst the

storm of turbulent thoughts. For showing the way towards light. For

Kali removing the darkness, and for Lakshmi defining our goals.

 

Heartfelt thanks to Ramya for suggesting this Kali sankalpa, and

thanks to all for participating in the 9 day event and the Diwali Day

sankalpa.Special thanks to Mausumi for doing the Sahasranama at the

fire at the Mandi on an auspicious day.

 

A special thanks to Egyirba,Lieve Henny, Kaliananda, Kanda , Muktimaa

(all those pix) ,Pahari Maa, Srini and Ramya for faithfully reporting

their progress in their sankalpa. Special thanks to Sadhvi for sharing

her Kali stories and wisdom.

Dear Nanda and all,

 

by grace of God and Guru I have also completed the 9th day of Kali

sankalpa and the Diwali day sankalpa. Diwali day was a day of

travelling for me, so there was not much time for quiet prayer and

contemplation during the day and I worried about my not being able to

fulfill my promise. But I found a folding seat on the balcony of the

train away from other passengers, and started reciting Maa Kali's

mantra out loud. The sound of my voice was drowned out by the noise of

the wheels of the train on the rails, but gradually the sound seemed

to change, as if the wheels were chanting along with me, and what had

seemed a terrible noise became song. I was sorry to arrive at my

destination and left the train feeling lit up like a christmas tree.

Had a wonderful journey. Maa does help indeed. Thank you, all of you,

for making this sankalpa possible. I cannot tell you how much the

support of the group means to me,

 

with love,

Henny
