May you all have a very wonderfully blessed Guru Purnima!

There is nothing but God...there is nothing but Guru. Everything

exists within the shining toenails of Shri Guru.

grants the highest happiness..."...

 

 

Dear muktimaa ~ is it Guru Purnima now? When is the exact date? Reading your

passage from the "Guru Gita" reminds me that, last night as I was reciting

the Chandi Path, I was in the chapter with the 108 names of the Goddess. As I

read, and read ... all of a sudden, this lightbulb went off in my head. "Oh!

This is Amma." I was awestruck by how the names fit our beloved Amma so well,

so I will share just a few. This is from the section entitled "shri

durgashtottara shatanam stotram."

 

1. Embodiment of Truth

2. Embodiment of Virtue

3. Lover of the Universe

22. The Essense of all Mantras

23. The Intrinsic Nature of Being

25. Infinite6

27. The Intensity of Realityghter of Ability

34. Beloved Jewel

46. Beautiful One

51. Creative Energy

54. Every Pure One

55. Energy Which Pervades All

60. Spotlessly Pure

80. Ever Pure One

82. Incomparable Beauty

92. One of Great Strength

100. Who Came From the Waters

 

I think that is enough to convey the idea. For those unfamiliar with the

Chandi, the Goddess is actually four Goddesses who emerge from one: Durga, Kali,

Laksmi, Saraswati. These are all the Goddesses that join on our behalf to

slay the demons of negative thought. Is this not what Amma does with us all the

time? Jai Ma ~ Linda
