And, I had seen them talking to me and giving me advice that I need. For me they were Lord Shiva and Maa Durga. I live in Fiji and don’t know if ever I will meet them but the day I will will the the greatest day of my life.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Dear All, I have never met either Shree Maa or Swamiji in the physical form. For the last 5 or 6 years I have on and off tried to learn the Chandi Path. I had attended a navaratri chant , when someone had showed me Swamjis' book and said this was the only translation and transliteration around. That was in the mid 90's I think. An Indian editon, from Motilal Banarsidass, turned up in the spiritual bookstore in Sydney and I grabbed it. Several years ago I also found a copy of the Kali Puja in the same bookstore. On and off over the years I would check the website but could never listen to what was available because I was on dial up internet service. Recently, I put in adsl, and suddenly I could listen to Swamiji....and the bookstore was loaded and took visa. Like a child at a candy store I have been...but I have to limit my orders to one a billing period. Probably better in terms of assimilation. And Swamijis' classes....wow, I was almost on the verge of becoming a buddhist cause I had nothing for my mind to grad ahold of... And so my sadhana has rocketed lately ... And Maa she is always around. Grace The first order arrived in Dec. and with it came a bundle of shakti, love, and joy.On 18/01/2005, at 3:45 PM, Nanda wrote: > > Dear All, > > Can people share how they met Shree Maa and Swamiji ... > > I met them in 1999 at Yogaville, VA , moved to CA in 2001 and have > had the privilege of meeting them often since my move.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 What a wonderful tribute to Maa and Swamiji's work! And to your determination and discrimination. Did you get the MP3 of the Chandi Path with Maa and Swamiji chanting? It is a wonderful way to feel their bhav and to learn Sanskrit pronunciation. I had the same experience that you did with dial-up and the classes. I just got dsl a few weeks ago and am amazed at the treasure trove of classes with Swamiji. By the way, IMHO there is nothing wrong with being a Buddhist. I spent 30 years as a Zen Buddhist and a Tibetan Buddhist before I met Shree Maa and Swamiji. And all that meditation was truly wonderful. But on the day I sat in front of their altar in March 1993, I knew I was truly "home". I can't really explain the experience. It was heavenly...to look into the eyes of the Goddess and then to turn around and look into the eyes of Shree Maa...to feel her loving welcome, her simplicity, her humility, the depth of her meditation. Then there was Swamiji. I had never met anyone like him in my life. He embodied my ideals of perfection. To see his absorption at the fire, to hear his voice full of love and devotion, to experience his delightful smile and sense of humor, to see him hard at work at physical labor, to learn of his life of learning. I think what hit me in my heart was "Shree Maa and Swamiji are living life the way it was meant to be lived." What more could you want from your teachers? My love and blessings to all who read this...especially to all who have not met Shree Maa and Swamiji on the physical plane. May you meet them in your hearts each day as you do sadhana.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Jai Maa, Ardis [and everyone], i am weeping [yet again] smiling through my tears after reading what you wrote about your first experience of Maa and Swamiji. Everything you have said stuck a chord with me. That is exactly how i feel..even though i have not yet been with Them Physically, i feel like They are with me every moment. The more dedicated i become towards Them and my Sadhana, the stronger i feel Their Presence. It is growing everyday. To me, They are the living embodiment of Holy Mother and Sri Ramakrishna's teachings. There i said it! i too feel 'i have come home.' i have seen many 'Swami's' in this life, but never anyone filled with such sincere enthusiasm as our Swamiji. He burns with such devotional fire! And it is so catching! Stand near His Fire, and you can't help but be inspired! The First time i saw Their Pictures i had an inner feeling of Recognition! i feel such love radiating from Them! i can't even imagine what it is like to be in Their Physical Presence! i think i might dissolve into Pure Bliss! Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji! Jai Ramakrishna Deva muktimaa P.S. i still have dial-up...but when the online classes were first put up, i was able to hear them! i took my little tape re-corder and everyday spent the entire day [yes, literally the whole day!] recording every class!! i listened to them over and over and over....i still do! They have helped me more than i can ever begin to say...Pure Bliss and Inspiration! :<) , Ardis Jackson <ardis1@v...> wrote: > > I had the same experience that you did with dial-up and the classes.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Namaste I have not met either Shreemaa or Swami, yet. I came to this group through an invitation (one of those invites that come to those who have certain interests on their profiles, I presume). At the time I had a budding interest in getting to know more about Sanatana Dharma but did not know where to begin. I joined the Devi Mandir group and have been trying to figure my way around ever since! :-) I bought the Idiot's Guide to Hinduism which someone suggested and which has been quite helpful in explaining things in 'layperson's' terms. I have read Before Becoming This and that was great. And I learned how to do the prayer mantra which I endeavor to be consistent about doing on Saturdays. I got the Durga Puja book and so far it is the one thing with which I feel a little more comfort and familiarity. Been reading at the Guru Gita and don't know what it means (granted I haven't taken time to read the chat archives). Have the Chandi book and well...what can I say? Don't feel ready for that. I do it (Durga Puja, though not yet with the offerings) every night and a day doesn't feel complete without it. I wish I could understand more than I do at this point but alas, everything in it's own time, I suppose. Perhaps one day I will be blessed to meet the gurus in flesh. Jai Maa!

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 I drove about 4 hours to Atlanta GA to meet Maa. I knew after seeing Maa's picture on the Daughters of the Goddess book, that I had to meet Her. The first program was a fire Yagya, and of course I got lost trying to find the house in a big Atlanta suburb. After driving all over the neighborhood, I finally found it, but was very late, which had caused me to be sort of distressed. I found my way to the back yard of the house and the Yagya was well under way. I had brought flowers for Shree Maa, but I saw immedeatly that I wouldn't be able to get anywhere near Maa because there was a huge crowd. I walked around to the back side of the perameter of the crowd and slowly resolved myself of the fact that I couldn't get close, and would have to be satisfied with seeing from a distance. Even from a distance though, I was spellbound. But just then, before even getting settled, one of Maa's devotees who was sitting RIGHT BESIDE HER, got up and came over to me and said, "there's a seat right there". He pointed me to the open space. With my mind totally blown by this, I walked over to where Mother was seated, bowed, and took my seat. Shree Maa was just to the right of me, close enough to touch, Swami Ji was performing the Yagya just slightly farther away, and the fire was right in front of me. I was really blown away. It was the first time I had ever seen Shree Maa or Swami Ji. If I live for 100 more years, I'll never forget that day. Jai Maa! Dear All,Can people share how they met Shree Maa and Swamiji ...I met them in 1999 at Yogaville, VA , moved to CA in 2001 and have had the privilege of meeting them often since my move.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Yes Ardis, I got the MP3 of the Chandi Path and have been practicing with it ever since. What absolutely pierced my heart was Maa chanting the Chandi Ararti and Bhagavatistutih. No, there is nothing wrong with being a Buddhist...just an off joke. Beautifully put how Maa and Swami are living life as it was meant to be livied. I have found them totally inspirational...My first Guru, Muktananda, taught me the Guru Gita and i spent many years chanting it. However, I was always looking for the Mother. Since I have been with many teachers, but none have moved in so quickly as Maa and Swamji...and none ever irradicated my broken heart after Muktananda took MahaSamadhi.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Dar Muktimaa, I think at times you are in pure bliss just nobody has pointed out that this is the name of the experience you are having or relaying to us all. I sure wish I could figure out how to tape Swamiji's classes sjo that I listen to them while I am engaged in mundane tasks and not just sitting at the computer. I have tried to download them but that did not work ....I figured Swamiji had purposely loaded the classes so they could not be downloaded. Anyway, thank you for sharing.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Hi Guys, U all are great. Your sincerity despite of not meeting Maa and Swamijee is amazing. I found the Shree Maa web site just surfing the net. In a period of two to three years I would go back to the site and browse through it, think about ordering some books and then would not do anything about it. A couple of months after having my baby boy, I had a dream In which a lady in saffron with a tanpura was sitting with my departed grandmother in her puja room. I think she was singing a Bhajan. Then she scolded me and told me that I need to work harder and put efforts into my puja. I woke up wondering about this dream. During the day I went back to Shree maa's website clicked on tour information and found out that she was in Washington D.C that day.Somehow things worked out and in the evening I was at the house and kirtan was going on. She was sitting there amid devotees and I was just nervous, unsure and worried about protocol. I did pluck the courage and went and spoke to her. My son sat in her lap and took her little drum. The next day during darshan she sad something to me, but it was as if I was not listening, to this day I do not know what she said to me. The whole time I was holding back. But later on I approached her again and she said to me: that I need to work very hard. The last four years have been a whirlwind. I am a very stubborn difficult learner, but maa and swamijee have always been with me guiding me, can't say if I have made any progress. The only thing I can say is that there presence is the most wonderful , beautiful thing in my life. Ruchi Steve Connor [sconnor] Tuesday, January 18, 2005 12:10 AM Re: How did you meet Shree Maa i never met them personally. i found out about shree maa from a person at another spiritual forum. i wrote to maa. she wrote back. a devotee of hers visited the town i live in. she sent him with a can of chocolates to give me. he called me and we met. i asked him to teach me the shiva puja. when i thanked maa for the chocolates she wrote back, i did not send you chocolates to eat, i sent for you to be a chocolate. i have been working on being a chocolate ever since. thank you. , "Nanda" <chandimaakijai> wrote: > > Dear All, > > Can people share how they met Shree Maa and Swamiji ... > > I met them in 1999 at Yogaville, VA , moved to CA in 2001 and have > had the privilege of meeting them often since my move.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 18, 2005 Dear Lovers of God: what a great topic! reading everyone's posts, I realize how BLESSED I am to have spent time with Maa and Swamiji... in 1998-2000 I had some experiences that led to me becoming a devotee of Kali, and I was eagerly reading everything I could on Shaktism and related subjects. One of the things I read was _Daughters of the Goddess_ by Linda Johnsen, with its marvelous description of Maa. Shortly after that, I "just happened to" present a paper on Ramprasad Sen at a professional meeting in Denver, and Maa "just happened to" be visiting Boulder at the very same time. By the grace of a saintly UC prof to whom I will always be grateful, I was allowed to come to a religion class where Maa and Swamiji spoke. It was--magic! Beyond belief! When the class was over, Maa walked up to each of us and offered us a Hershey's Kiss, and as she did she asked me, "Are you God?" I thought, "Well, no--but--uhh--maybe? Uhh--" Like Ramakrishna, Maa shows us that God is everywhere, especially in our own hearts when we open them to devotion and dharma. I believe she IS Ramakrishna--I don't mean to offend anyone by stating that so directly, but--I believe she has brought that bhava back to the world when it needs it more than ever. Later Mother blessed me by allowing me to spend time with her and Swamiji at a retreat near Washington, DC--Maa's disciples are amazing because they are people like me, raised in this materialist, atheistic culture, and yet they are examples of such devotion and selfless service. Once I prayed to Maa to help me find a spiritual community like the one around her--knowing that this could never happen here in the middle of the Bible Belt--and two weeks later I "just happened to" meet a group of devotees with whom I've taken some amazing inner and outer journeys. Sorry to go on and on--but I owe Maa and Swamiji everything. And then some. Kalibhakta Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest guest Report post Posted January 19, 2005 Namaste--and thank you. Living here in the belt buckle used to seem oppressive, until Kali Ma spoke to my heart and had me start reading all these Christian mystics (Julian of Norwich, J.P de Caussade, Gabrielle Bossis, etc.)...and I found that, yes, they were talking about Her, in their own language. my ego was what was oppressing me.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 21, 2005 I never saw Shree Maa or Swamiji personally, but there is a long time behind I read the book the Goddess's Daughters and I tried to do contact with them.I almost read all of the books of the I Devi Mandir, but was only our cyber sangha that helped me to dedicate my time to the sadhana that they teach us. In the book Shree Maa the Life of Saint, (p. 119) Swamiji tell us that when Shree Maa arrived to the occident and she saw a computer, she said: "It looks like a very efficient tool. I think you had better learn how to use one of these." Fantastic!!!!She was right, the union of spirituality of the east with the tecnology of the west is possible!!! This union can help many people like me. I only have the privilege of worship because I am in this wonderfull group with our forum, our class, our sankalpas. So I decided do a thesi on our group. I think it is that is an opportunity to bring their teachings here in Brazil. I love all you and I thank all you very much and very specially you querida Nanda. I bow to you. Namaste!
