I am frozen light in manifestation.

What you see is the stuff of stars!

I am atman in the fields of maya.

There are universes within me

shining so brightly!

Awakening!

Light of the Divine in my heart!

Light of the Divine

in the cave of Brahma!

The violet flame pouring through

the thousand petalled lotus

renews me, transforms me!

The golden light of the central sun

vibrates, pulsates within my brain,

my subtle bodies!

Chakras activate and awaken!

The very cells and dna of my body

radiate the light of the Divine!

Like a wild fire all becomes awakened energy!

Tat tvam asi! I am that!

I am life! I am resurrection!

Dissolving into light I embrace my I Am nature!

Dissolving into light I know my oneness with all that is!

I am bliss incarnate!

The song of all creation sings in me and through me!

Om Jai Jai Maa!

(atman-soul, maya-illusion, thousand petalled lotus-crown chakra,  cave of Brahma-pineal gland)

With tenderness and gratitude

I welcome your coming,

my Beloved.

My heart blossoms with love.

Showered with the Light of your Presence,

I am transformed.

I am Light!

I am Life!

I am resurrection!

One with the light from

the womb of creation

I expand to fill the universe.

Tat tvam asi!

I am That!

Om shanti, shanti, shantihi!

(Heartfelt gratitude to my Guru H.H. Sai Maa Lakshmi Devi.)

The morning dawns full of potential

The day is like a string of pearls

Now and now and now and now

Pearls running through my fingers

Each one complete and beautiful

The past is passed

The future but a dream

Feel the smoothness

See the luster of each awakening moment

Receive the day for the gift that it is

Remember the Giver with gratitude.

By Leslie Robinson

I thought I walked alone

circling the rut worn path of sorrow

over and over again.

Then, in that broken, vulnerable place

in my heart

you gently entered in.

You took my hand in the darkness

and step by step

we walked toward the dawn.

Now, we walk together in the light.

My heart swells with love for you.

You are love

and you have transformed me

into love.

We have already walked far

together.

This is a new and unknown place.

I’m not who I thought I was.

I don’t know who I am becoming.

This I do know,

I don’t walk alone.

You know the road

and this is enough for me.

“I will go where you lead me.

I will hold your people in my heart.”

Thank you Goddess, for guiding my every step.

You are my light!

The Great Love of Mother Divine

During April we celebrate the Indian festival of Navaratri – the nine days of Mother Divine.  Navaratri is a celebration of good over evil, wisdom over ignorance, when the gods in heaven created the Goddess Durga to kill the powerful demon king Mahishasur. The battle that followed between Durga and the demon lasted 9 days and 9 nights. Finally, on the tenth day, known as Victory Day, the Goddess killed the demon, saving the world from ignorance. 

Navaratri is divided into three sets of three days each to invoke different aspects of the Divine Mother. On the first three days, the Mother is invoked as the archetypal energy of Maha Durga in order to destroy all our impurities, vices and defects. The next three days, the Mother is invoked as the giver of spiritual abundance in the form of Lakshmi Devi. The final three days are spent in worshipping the Mother as the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, Saraswati Devi.  To have all-round success in life, we humbly seek the blessings of all three aspects of the Divine Mother. 

This spring, Navaratri begins on April 6th.  The simplest way for you to join this celebration is to chant the mantras of the Divine Mothers Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati each day in your own home the Devi mantras are:

We have walled away a great treasure of beauty and light within. We have listened so long to ego's lie, "There is danger behind the wall! You will lose everything and die if you breach the wall." No temporal thing lasts forever. In life's challenges and sorrow the wall begins to crack. Don't look away! See the light radiating from the cracks. Whatever it takes, breach the wall! Only here in this light do you become truly 'you'. Cast off the chrysalis! Be the butterfly!
