Guest guest Posted March 5, 2005 Report Posted March 5, 2005 Hello Friends, I have only just recently joined the discussion group, though I have visited the site in the past and have been gradually working my way through material from the Devi Mandir. May I share a personal realization? I thought I had just "found" or been "found" by Shree Maa this past year when a teacher/older sister I respect mentioned Maa. I had immediate recognition and went about looking for more information. Today, while looking through the photos at the group website, I saw the "message from maa" poster. My shock is that I have had a hard copy of this for a few years. I found it posted somewhere. Cannot remember where, but have kept it with me. The message had been, to date, the most beautifully stated inspiration from love I had read. I kept it for inspiration but for some reason assumed the Saint was not accessible. There is even a copy posted at Babaji's Ashram where I have been studying! I looked at it every day I was there!!! So, now years later, Maa found me again...through a kind heart who loves to sing the songs of devotion. Her mentioning of Maa and sharing a few lines from the Chandi Path lit a fire in me to find this Maa. I still did not realize the connection until just now. Tears of gratitude and realization. You were here all the time!!!!I am glad you have patience. Jai Maa!!!! Om, Sherri Quote

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Dearest Ardis, I went into the group photo section again because you mentioned a photo you had posted with the HamSa combined with a photo of Maa. When looking I found something titled "Shree Maa's Message". Someone had scanned it in and posted it. I found a hard copy of this posted on an announcement board several years ago-probably in NC. peace, sherri , Ardis Jackson <ardis1@v...> wrote: > Hi Sherri, > > What do you mean by the "message from Maa" poster? > > Thanks, > > Ardis > > > On Mar 5, 2005, at 2:49 PM, Sherri wrote: > > > > > > > Hello Friends, > > I have only just recently joined the discussion group, though I have > > visited the site in the past and have been gradually working my way > > through material from the Devi Mandir.

Guest guest Posted March 6, 2005 Report Posted March 6, 2005 Thank you for responding. Karen sent me a copy of the poster online and pointed out the photo of it on the group site. I made a copy of it. Isn't it wonderful how Our Gurus keep on reaching out to us?
