Thank you all for your support over the past 23 years.

Tapas Tuesday 🔥
•
Tapas - is not only a Spanish dish but also the effect and point of spiritual practice: to burn off - to purify - all that is not you so that only your real self remains.
-
Sometimes this is done thru great austerities. Sometimes through regular disciplined practice like your Hatha Yoga, whichever is your cup of tea…keep at it!
•
Seen here with her daily HOMA - fire rituals.
•
Healing Rituals: intention.

Bring your good intention and attention with you today. May they carry you into an uplifted state of awareness and happiness.

Posted • An effective and highly powerful method of invoking the blessings of Mahāgaṇapati is through the worship of his yantra. Yantra pūjā is an important part of the ritualistic worship of deities in the Śrī Vidyā Tradition.

- Guruji Sri Amritanandanatha Saraswati

At the end of the Ganapati Chaturthi today. “There are a thousand ways to kneel and kiss the Earth” Rumi
