H-m-m-m, someone else swoops pretty good too.

We fall truly... madly.... deeply..... in love with the

Divine......every moment becomes passionate worship at the

same time, it is worship that creates the living relationship with the

Divine Mother....it makes Her Real, by tuning our hearts and minds to

Her Vibration....we draw Her attention.....

We are Love falling in Love with Love.

And....

it helps to hang out with people like you, Swamiji.

Namaste

How do we keep passionate about our

worship?

By invoking the Goddess continually into our lives and observing her

manifestations within us our enthusiasm for her grows. Stuff happens,

and it is not so much because of ourselves. It is because of her. She

is the miraculous.

We ARE Her...Only we are the part of Her with seeming

amnesia. It is through worship and the love from the Guru that the

Divine Mother awakens Herself from Her own dream of being us.

Please h-u-r-r-y Mother!!!! Our worship tugs on Her shawl

saying, 'Oh Mother, I am tired of playing in your duality. Can

we go home now???? .P-l-e-a-s-e? Tug, Tug ,Tug

Now what Mother could resist that?

How do we keep passionate about our worship?

 

By desiring truth and light as much as possible. By keeping life in

perspective. By knowing deep down inside that there is a reason and wanting

as much as possible to play our role for Mom's sake alone.

 

By seeing ourselves for who we really are and wanting to grow beyond the

box we encase ourselves in.

 

By witnessing the miracle of those who are succeeding in these goals and

those who set the example.

 

By developing a Bhava, a right intent, to become one with the source.

 

By surrendering to all that life has to offer and saying "Thank you Maam,

may I have another."

 

By playing an active role in increasing the positivity of the world.

 

By setting an example for others to follow.

 

By doing our best and expect nothing from others.

 

By connecting all that we see with our inner reality and allowing the two

to merge.

 

By letting go of thought when ever possible and recognizing the holiness in

silence.

 

I could go on and on...

 

I love you Swamiji.

For me keeping passionate about my is worship is doing the

following;

 

1 Daily Japa Yoga of the Mantra OM NAMAH SHIVAYA

2 Praying to God and reminding myself that God is Love

3 Being thankful by saying:

THANK YOU GOD

I LOVE YOU GOD

GOD I LOVE YOU

Some really nice answers already; I especially resonate with what

Maureen said.

 

"How do we keep passionate about our worship?"

 

Some thoughts and self-direction, which I am using to examine my own

practice:

 

Ask oneself this very question.

 

Think of the Divine as an actual person you have a relationship with.

 

If you do not feel the presence of God, cry out "God! Where are you!"

This sounds like small thing, but it breaks you out of the egoic mode

and puts you into a direct query to the source of all your goals and

aspirations of the heart.

 

Be completely dissatisfied with routine and method alone.

 

Think of someone like Ramakrishna or Maa. Know them, imagine them.

This enters their qualities into your mind stream.

 

Look at the picture of Durga. Regard her tranquility, as well as the

weapons that destroy confusion, etc. You become that which you

contemplate.

 

Imagine yourself becoming Hanuman ... feel his physical presence, as

if you are morphing into him. Know his service to Shiva. Go deeper,

until you can feel even his motivation, his heart, his attitude.

 

Cry out to the Goddess! Know that she will hear you! Cry out!

 

See all others as manifestations of the Divine.

 

Peace,

 

Steve C.

"How do we keep passionate about our worship?"

 

Namaste, Swamiji,

In my experience, we keep passionate about our worship when we

begin to understand and experience directly that there is no

difference between our "own" inner Self, the Devi, the act of

worship and the world around us. As this begins to happen, worship

is the natural way to respond to being embodied. Every thing we

encounter during the day can be a teacher to us; everything can be a

moment of awakening. When this begins to happen (even if it is only

occasionally), a tremendous joyousness rises up, a passion for

simply being here and an immense gratitude at coming to the place

where worship is the way we are beginning to be in the world.

Meditation.

 

(Coming to rest/peace, breathing brightness, recognizing/enjoying the

single field of consciousness/energy---shiva/shakti---and acting from

the basis of that enjoyment. An enjoyment that can take "deeper

roots" and is inevitably more and more effortless in more and

more "moments".)

I think the truest answer is surrender. But complete surrender is

difficult to accomplish.

 

For me at this time it is faith in the gurudeva. If I believe the

guru loves me, cares about my progress, or lack of it, is aware of my

practice and supports it, I am inspired to worship with greater

intensity and faith that I will progress. Gurupritiartham. "Without

the Guru nothing can be accomplished."

By looking around at all the blessings and abundance... new leaves on the

vines outside my window, flowers bursting forth, green hills, love of

friends and family, the devotion that all of you so freely express, sadhana

and seva, knowing that the Goddess is moving around, through, within all of

this, within this body....and my heart cracks open until... there is only

love.

 

JAI MAA

 

Aum Shanti,

Once I tasted a glimpse of ....something that I cannot quite

define ... a mountain peak moment .

The briefest of seconds when

...I was bursting with so much love and peace in my heart ,

...I gave up trying to control my life

...I felt a complete and perfect acceptance of life

 

The moment I had tuned into a different wavelength and all I felt was

an overwhelming happiness.

 

And then I came back to this reality.

 

All the Asuras of this world take over ...

Maybe I was just hallucinating

Maybe I am just overly emotional

Maybe I just need a break ...

Maybe ... I just need to get a life and get out more.

Maybe ...

 

Maybe not !

 

All the wise sages across the centuries and spanning the globe cannot

be wrong !

 

They say , over and over ...

 

Your real nature IS Ananda - Bliss

 

It is your TRUE HOME - to live in it for longer periods, do the

Sadhana and cultivate the relationship with your beloved.

Pave the road to back home and one day you will be in that state

permanently !

 

So how do we keep passionate about our worship?

 

Relive and relish and savor as vividly as I can that precious first

moment I KNEW without a shadow of doubt that I had finally come home.

 

And when the inspiration is there, can the act be far behind ?

 

JAI MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

To be passionate about our worship, one need to bellieve, it is heart

which experiences God, and not the reason. To know the universe

itself as a road, as many raads,for travelling soul.

Namaste:

 

Kirtan, Chandi, Puja and meditation (and sometimes hatha yoga) are components of my sadhana.

 

I am wondering if the group would care to respond to the following question:

 

Do you use kirtan as part of your regular sadhana, and if so, what

experiences do you derive from, and what value do you put upon the

practice?

 

I would like to publish the answers in my magazine on kirtan, Time and

Space, so please keep your answers to three or four sentences, and

thank you for thinking about this.

 

Love

 

Shubal

Kirtan is a vial part of sangha. All satsangs tend to utilize it. It

can be so heartening to those participating in it, for spirit de core

keeps the wheels of spiritual aspiration rolling. The absence of

sanga kirtan can be toxic, even lethal. That is my view on this

matter.
