LOVE LIGHTS OUR WAY TO FREEDOM and A BETTER LIFE “The two most important days In a person’s life are the day you were born And the day you discover what you were Born for and sent here to do…” —Mark Twain Our lives can be so Much better than they are With so much more of the things That truly matter to you and me. We were not sent here just to live our Lives like a meaningless movie and then pass away— We are bigger and more powerful and precious Than we could ever imagine or believe. There is nothing wise in playing small by Chasing pleasures and just your own happiness— Every one of us was sent here on a mission And our lives become meaningful only When we awaken to the reason why We were born in this time and place. You already know what you were sent here to do Because it is written in your soul As the one thing that you love to do More than anything, that you have A burning passion for and all the Talents and abilities needed to do it well. Our lives can be so much better Than they have ever been before, With so much more loving and being loved And the things that are important to you and me— We all have so much more love to give But we keep it locked away in our hearts Tightly closed by fear and painful experiences Until we wake up and realize Love alone Is why and what we are here to learn— Love is the key to all our prison doors, Love is the light burning away all our Darkness and illuminating our way to freedom.

SOMETHING NEW AND WONDERFUL I WANT TO SHARE WITH YOU!
Here is a beautiful Bhajan (“Love Song of the Heart”) that I have on repeat that you will love!
This is one of my favorite bhajans of all time, by a singer/ songwriter who has a magical voice and heavenly music. The complete lyrics in case you would like to sing along…are simply the chant “Jaya Bhaghavan” repeated over and over.
All of the words in this song are ancient, are in Sanskrit and have all of the power of the most potent mantras because they are “Names of God” sung directly to the Divine as an expression of your own longing and love for God.
“Bhaghavan” is Sanskrit and means “Beloved Lord of my heart”. “Jaya” means “Victory over all darkness”. This song is a prayer invoking the power, presence and blessing of the Divine into your life….
Enjoy!
