Meaning of Gayatri Mantra
Rishis selected the words of various Mantras and arranged them so that they not only convey meaning but also create specific power through their utterance.

Gayatri Mantra inspires wisdom.

Its meaning is that

"May the Almighty God illuminate our intellect

to lead us along the righteous path".

All the problems of a person are solved if he/she

is endowed with the gift of righteous wisdom.

Once endowed with far-sighted wisdom, a man is neither entangled in calamity nor does he tread the wrong path.
A wise man finds solution to all outstanding problems.
Only those persons who do not think correctly find difficulty and
take wrong steps due to foolishness.

Chanting of Gayatri Mantra removes this deficiency. The teachings and powers incorporated in the Gayatri Mantra fulfill this purpose. Righteous wisdom starts emerging soon after Jap(recitation) of this Mantra is performed.

THE DOOR ... into the realm of Spirit

...the excitement
we feel
when we hear
the drumbeat -
tells us
this is the
skeleton key
that opens
the door into
the realm
of spirit

THE QUICKENING

There has never been a time on Earth like we see today.

What we need are more ways to experience our interconnectedness ...

It is a

precursor to deep love.

So in this quickening light, with the dawn of each new day, let us look for love.

Let us no longer struggle.

Let us ever become

who we most want to be.

As we begin to be

who we truly are,

the world will be a better place.

LOVE

......where there is love......there is no question

~Marianne Williamson~..just one sincere surrendered moment when love matters more than anything and we know that nothing else really matters at all.

We are so

lightly here

It is in love
that we are made

In love we disappear

~Leonard Cohen~

"To know love of another....

you must find it

within yourself.

You manifest only that

which reflects

from your heart"

~ RUMI ~

In order to create...

there must be

a dynamic force....

and what force

is more potent

than love?

SITTING ON THE EDGE

this morning's tea bag tag says....
wisdom
character and
consciousness
conquer all
~(unknown)~

Only Awareness Remains........
Life moves, undulates, breathes in and out,
contracting and expanding.
This is its nature, the nature of what is.
Whatever is, is on the move.
Nothing remains the same for very long.
~Adyashanti~

Live everyday
wide open
inspired
(Adyashanti)

the universe loves ...
gratitude under
ALL
circumstances
no matter what is
happening around you.

30 days of saturating
yourself with gratitude
WILL
change your life
beyond recognition

what you
radiate & live
the universe will
DELIVER
matching the intensity
of your gratitude

bring it on....
thank you !
thank you !
thank you !

BELIEVE....we contain the potential for everything within us........................

CREATIVE CONSCIOUSNESS "Creative visualization is not just a technique; ultimately it is a state of conscious-ness. It is a consciousness in which we deeply realize that we are the continuous creators of our universe and we take responsibility for that in every moment.


There is no seperation from us and God;
we are divine expressions of the creative principle on this level of existence.
There can be no lack or scarcity; there is nothing we have to try to achieve or attract; we contain the potential for everything within us.
Manifestation through creative visualization is the process of realizing and making visible on the physical plane of our divine potential."

PASSION

Passion is energy.
Feel the power that comes from focusing on what excites you.
~Oprah Winfrey~

Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.
~ Albert Einstein ~



When I look into the future, it's so bright it burns my eyes.
~Oprah Winfrey~



If you want to accomplish the goals of your life,
you have to begin with the spirit.

It was a high counsel that I once heard given to a young person,
"Always do what you are afraid to do."

“If ever there is tomorrow when we're not together..
there is something you must always remember.

You are braver than you believe,

stronger than you seem,

and smarter than you think.

But the most important thing is,

even if we're apart...

I'll always be with you.”
~ Winnie the Pooh ~

~ Kahlil Gibran ~
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of Life's longing for itself.

“Sometimes, if you stand on the bottom rail of a bridge and lean over to watch the river slipping slowly away beneath you, you will suddenly know everything there is to be known."
~ Winnie the Pooh ~
