RE: Navagraha Sankalpas To Nanda

February 2, 2006

the smoke alarms went off...so I had to do japa mala instead, without

homa. It's very cold here in New England so I am not sure when it

might be possible to go outside to do homa but I am REALLY excited

about it!!!! (which is why I asked for the photo of Swamiji and

Maa..). I am hoping that I will be able to "complete" my sankalpa

with the homa practice...but, again, I kind of hesitate to say it out

loud (or write it down) because it's such a major thing! I have so

much sympathy for those who have expressed doubts and issues with

energy, time and health. I am just in the "recovery phase" from a

long chronic health problem and have to be very careful about pushing

at myself the way I did in my younger years. Sometimes it is very

challenging to understand how much is "enough" and how much is the

ego taking over and forcing things. And, also, how to simply accept

the gift of the practice sometimes "doing" itself without feeling it

has

to do with my "will". What I am learning lately is the key is

SURRENDER and OFFERING...keeping focused on who this sankalpa is

FOR....The Divine Mother in her form as this beautiful planet..not

for "me" and my personal concerns of "too much" or "too little". It

puts all of the other concerns into a manageable perspective when I

think about what BhuDevi would really want from all of us: Loving

Attention. I am thinking alot about her everyday as I do this

sankalpa...looking out at the trees, rocks, birds, sky, clouds...so

aware of what an incredibly precious place this is...and what a gift

to be able to give something back.best luck to everyone......and

thanks to Shree Maa and Swamiji,sadhvi------------------------
