June Chitra Puja

"Recognizing that all experience is but a fading dream, you are closer to the permanence within you that never changes. You can sense it. It is God. It is Siva. It has never changed. It will never change." -Gurudeva

This morning the monks gathered to celebrate this month's Chitra puja, invoking Gurudeva's blessings, love and guidance.
Jai Gurudeva! Aum Namah Sivaya!

Sadhaka Mayuranatha was this morning\

s pujari, with assistance from Sadhaka Tejadevanatha'

\"You need a tremendous, indomitable will to make a reality of your quest of realizing the Being within.\"

\"God has no names, but all names are the names of God. Whether you call Him this or that, He remains Who He is.\"

\"The greatest thing that a devotee must learn is that all knowing is within oneself. Therefore, go to the great superconscious school within you and bring forth knowledge.\" 

\"The stone or metal Deity images are not mere symbols of the Gods; they are the form through which their love, power and blessings flood forth into this world.\"

\"To accept one\

s karma and the responsibility for one\'s actions is strength. To blame another is weakness and foolishness.\"'

\"Peace is the natural state of the mind. It is there, inside, to be discovered in meditation, maintained through self-control, and then radiated out to others.\"

\"Love may also be thought of as the full expression of the intuitive mind, a continuing flow from the source of Being.\"
