I know I'm a few days late to start this thread...I've been quite busy, what can I say. But I just wanted to wish you all a happy Navratri (my fav holiday after Janmashtami! ). May these nine (or ten if you count dussera) nights be filled with the love of the Divine Mother...and may if carry you through the year! Calling out, reaching for the Goddess, our Mother. Feeling her putting her hands out to lift us into Herself. Embracing us, feeding us...What have we got to fear? Why should we worry? What do we have to know? We melt into her. We flow down into her darkness, we fall asleep into her arms, only to wake up into her light, the light which illumines all the worlds, the light of the Self, the light of who we are. She and I are one, Mother and Child, made of the same stuff, never apart, never alone, never hungry, always full of the Holy milk of Being...Devi Narayani Namostu Te!- Krishna Das He Maa Durga Om Namaschandikaaye Jayanti Mangalaa Kaalee Bhadrakaalee kapaalinee Durgaa kshaamaa shiwaa dhaatree Swaahaa Swadhaa namostute Roopam dehi jayam dehi yasho dehi dwisho jahi Sarva swarupe sarveshe sarva shakti samanvite Bhawe bhyaastraahino devi Durge devi namo stu te Naaraayani Namostute Siddhi buddhi pradhe devi bhukti mukti pradaayani Mantra moorthe mahaadevi Mahaalakshmee namo stu te Sarwaa baadhaa bineer mukto dhana dhaanya sutaa nito Manushyo mat prasaadeno bhavishyaiti na sanshayaha http://www.indian-visit.com/fair-festivals/festivals-of-india/navratri-india.html http://www.beliefnet.com/story/176/story_17618_1.html
Namaste To You All, The Divine Mother as the Maha Kundalinesvari Devi performs Her role as the sacrifice of the descent of consciousness of Her Lord Shiva, which results as our experience of reality, and then upon arousal into ascent retracts our experience of finite mind, delivering us to the lotus feet of God in the Sahasrara. All glories be to Her. Yogin Bhairava Atmabhoda Sarasvati
Whatever day it is - have a merry moment! Don't know where everyone's gone - I've been 'under reconstruction' to some extent recently. Hope you're all well anyway.
