JAI BHAKTI™ Blog: DIVINITY, FORTITUDE, AND DISABILITY

People often ask how I am able live with the relentless physical pain and disabilites caused by spinal diseases and cervical spine injury:


AREN'T THESE FLOWERS WORTH LIVING FOR?

COMING SOON!

Several months ago, Reverend Harriet Hawkins, from California, U.S.A., interviewed me regarding prayer--if I pray, how I pray, and what I ask for in prayer. These questions opened up an inspiring dialogue (via email) regarding my spiritual practices. The end result is a sermon she gave based on my life story, including the spiritual journey that guided me through four major traumatic experiences from childhood into middle age, and how I turned these experiences into a way to help others.

Reverend Harriet lives 3,000 miles away, and I have never met her in person (she read about my story online), yet her energy is so pure, her mission in life so uplifting and selfless, I bless the day she reached out to me and honor her friendship dearly.

We will be making the audio of this sermon available on JAI BHAKTI™ so others in my position can realize that it IS posibble to live with these diseases (the suicide rate is staggering)--no one ever said it would be easy, but it is possible and worth it.

The sermon also outlines the services I offer free of charge to anyone with disabilities. 

It's also a testament to the unconditional love given by my mother/caregiver, and father.



May you all experience the bliss and love of your Heart and realize this bliss and love to be your True identity.

Namo Namah,

Bhakti

JAI BHAKTI™ BLOG WISHES YOU A HAPPY HANUMAN JAYANTI!

MY BELOVED HANUMAN MURTI

April 14

Today,

 we celebrate the birthday

of the greatest devotee of God

To ever have walked the Earth:

The son of the wind.

The most beloved bhakta.

He who mistook the Sun

for an orange,

  and played with Surya Das

 as a beloved toy.

He who jumped the ocean

To save Sita from the demon King;

 He who dove to the bottom of the sea

To retrieve Sita's wedding ring.

He who defeated Ravana--

The most fierce,

 ten-headed Rakshasha.

I bow to

Baba 

Hanuman,

  the monkey God

Who returned Sita

To Ram.

Who crushed the rubies

Ram gave him

In his palm.

I bow to

Baba Hanuman,

Who represents

Ananda (bliss)

 and

Caitanya (Pure Consciousness).

I bow to He

who ripped open his chest

to reveal that upon His Heart

an image of Sita and Ram

was etched.

I bow to The Self within

In the form of Baba 

Hanuman.

Jai Sita!

Jai Ram!

Jai! Jai! Jai!

Baba Hanuman!
