2012: For the Love of God

Shree Hanuman Hugging the Great Lord Rama

As you know, my spiritual name is 'Bhakti'. This is a Sanskrit word that means "love and devotion (to God/the Self within)". Bhakti is a longing for union (yoga) with God; longing for the Truth. I have been blessed with this longing since I was a young child.

A few moments ago, Jai Uttal sent out an email letting his friends know when and where he'll be leading kirtan. In this email was the above illustration of Shree Hanuman hugging his beloved Lord Rama (in Hinduism "Rama" is synonymous with the word 'God'). Shree Hanuman is the greatest lover of God.

I recall the first time I saw a murti (statue/representation) of Hanuman: I spontaneously fell to his feet and wept tears of joy. My connection with Hanuman is real: He is the aspect of ourselves that represents the great love of God. When I see an image of Hanuman, I recall the great strength I behold within and remember that I can achieve anything in this lifetime.

Om Shree Hanuman!!

I just got through writing a message to a friend telling her that even if the Mayan calendar is correct and the world as we know it gets destroyed by a war between the Christian fundamentalist fanatics and the Muslim extremists, those of us who know the Truth within will be reborn into the Age of Enlightenment. Everything in the world is cyclical: the seasons change four times a year--and the Yugas change as well.

Writing this email caused me to pause and think about the year 2012: only 4 years and a few months away. When I look at the path President Bush is taking---now talking about bombing Iraq, I wonder if Nostradamus's' prediction and the Mayans' may be correct. I thought, "Perhaps the Christian/Muslim war will be the end of our great society."

A few moments later, while reading other emails, I came upon this newsletter from Master Kam Yuen--the doctor who is helping to heal my body. Wouldn't you know that in the email he addressed the issue of 2012! Grace is a wonderful thing!

Master Dr. Kam Yuen


“Yes! There is nothing out of the ordinary that is going to happen in 2012!" We might as well create the future that we want now. --Master Dr. Kam Yuen

I have always admired the way Grace presents Herself. Don't you love when you have a question--you send out the vibe to the universe that something is puzzling you--and She (the Great Mother) sends you the answer you are looking for, whether it be an email, a smile from a passing stranger, a phone call from a Master healer, a loving look from your cat, or anything. Anything at all can be a message from the Great Universe. I believe that the Truth of it all is that the message actually comes from inside. That is the great mystery. We are That which we are looking for. The world is a mirror. The answers actually come from inside our Heart.

Well, I'll leave it at that and contemplate what I wrote for awhile.

Thank you for visiting JAIBHAKTI.

Warm Regards,

Bhakti

Steve Vai:Jeff Buckley:Master Yuen=My Mystical Muses ...Plus: It's YOUR Turn to Write!

Hi Folks--Sorry it's been such a long time since I've written anything substantial: I was gearing up and getting ready to go on my trip to see Master Steve Vai (Steve does not consider himself a 'master' guitarist. That's no matter; when I refer to him as "Master" I am referring to his spiritual, mystical capabilities. It is no small wonder that Steve Vai loves Jeff Buckley: you might recall my lovely tribute to the ever-graceful JB in one of last year's posts. If not--CLICK HERE.) Steve plays the guitar in the same mystical way Jeff sang. Breathtaking; spiritual to the very core.

So, while I'm letting my body heal from last weekend's trip, why don't you tell me what you are listening to, and what books are currently in your hand, on your night stand, on your desk at work, or where ever they may be.

Tell me what you're listening to and why it appeals to you; your favorite song; your favorite lyric or musical passage.

Tell me what you're reading: include the titles, authors, and whether you are pleased with your reading selection, why you are reading this book (school, personal research, pleasure, to fill in the gaps of time that have been diminished to mere milliseconds now that computers, microwaves, and cell phones have bled every second of our lives dry: the speed of life is catching up to the speed of light and sound.


I have only wonderful things to say about Steve Vai; I shall save those stories for another day. For now, I would like to thank Master Dr. Kam Yuen for taking time out of his busy schedule to do major healing work on my nerves, hands, arms, neck, legs, mind, etc. so that I may heal more and more every day. Thank you Master Yuen--I honor you for your service.

Beloved Master Dr. Kam Yuen
