Now, a request. I know you have already written a bit is thepublished

material about Sri Ma and Swamiji, and I also know that youdon't like

to put yourself forward into the limelight, but if you wereto just

keep note of memories, as they naturally come up during theday, that

have inspirational or instructive value, and wrote a fewlines into

the websight when you have a spare moment, I know that manyof us

would benefit.

Greetings Tanmaya ~ I think you must have joined the group while I was away again.

I totally agree with what you request. There have been so many

wonderful stories about being with Shree Maa and Swamiji by those who

have the good fortune to be there or live close by. And even if they

are never collected into a book; and it would be grand if they were,

just to save them into a common area or folder on the site

would be wonderful. I would love to go back and read some of those

stories right now, for I am feeling very discouraged about the

holiday.

 

Others here know a bit more about me and my situation, but this is the

first year in her entire life that I will not see my daughter at

Christmas, and it is breaking my heart. I also struggle with issues

around my mother and stepfather, which get brought up hugely on any

special occasion and fall has been very difficult because, first my

mother's birthday, then my stepfathers (and it was harder than it has

ever been to send a present and then also call), then Thanksgiving,

now Christmas. My sister and niece will be spending Christmas with my

mother and stepfather. I may very well never see any of them again.

That breaks my heart too.

 

Perhaps it is time for me to build my homa, no matter how crudely or

incorrect it might be and throw rice (and all this stuff) into the

fire. Jai Maa , Jai Swamiji
