Guest guest Posted May 17, 2005 Report Posted May 17, 2005 Namaste, I thought that I would share with you the short version of how I ended up here. Ever since I was a child,I have sought the Divine.When other children played...I meditated and thought about spiritual matters.When I got a little older,I read about and studied many different religions.I always found Hinduism to be where I belong but I ended up going in another direction.I was a Muslim (Sufi) for several years.I found great beauty in it but still...it was not home. I looked into different forms of Paganism but still could not find where I belonged.Then,a little over a year ago,my friend (who I refer to as my brother)became a Hindu (Saiva Siddhanta).Through him I started to study Hinduism again. I found myself ultimately drawn to Shaktism.I have always looked for guidance (a Guru) but never found any.So...I made a prayer to the Great Mother.When I came across the Shree Maa website...I instantly recognized my Teachers.Shree Maa and Swamiji are who I have been looking for for so long.I knew that I had come home. Well...this is the short version.I hope that I have not bored you all Jai Maa! Stirananda Saraswati Quote

Guest guest Posted May 18, 2005 Report Posted May 18, 2005 Namaste Stirananda, you are blessed indeed. Can I ask you what your name means, if that's not impertinent (and if it is, please ignore the question) with love, Henny , "Stirananda Saraswati" <shakta108> wrote: > Namaste, > > I thought that I would share with you the short version of how I > ended up here. > Ever since I was a child,I have sought the Divine.When other children > played...I meditated and thought about spiritual matters.When I got a > little older,I read about and studied many different religions.I > always found Hinduism to be where I belong but I ended up going in > another direction.I was a Muslim (Sufi) for several years.I found > great beauty in it but still...it was not home. > I looked into different forms of Paganism but still could not find > where I belonged.Then,a little over a year ago,my friend (who I refer > to as my brother)became a Hindu (Saiva Siddhanta).Through him I > started to study Hinduism again. > I found myself ultimately drawn to Shaktism.I have always looked for > guidance (a Guru) but never found any.So...I made a prayer to the > Great Mother.When I came across the Shree Maa website...I instantly > recognized my Teachers.Shree Maa and Swamiji are who I have been > looking for for so long.I knew that I had come home. > Well...this is the short version.I hope that I have not bored you > all > Jai Maa! > > Stirananda Saraswati Quote
