MY HEART’S SOUL CALL TO LOVE, SERVE and AWAKEN

When I am clear and conscious,

I can look back across all

The years of my life

And see the invisible hand

Of the Divine’s influence

Flowing through every moment

Of this incarnation and

I know it has ever been

And will always be so.

This incarnation has its higher purpose

And it is crystal clear to me that

I was sent here with a specific

Mission and work that is my passion,

My dharma and my responsibility to fulfill.

Knowing this dharma path of service is a blessing,

And I am grateful for its unremitting challenge,

Even though I must constantly work to reach

For it through every breath, every thought

And every beating of my heart.

It will never be enough for me

To live this precious life

As if I am here just to go through

My days like they were homemade movies

Without meaning or substance,

Trying to be happy while chasing endless desires,

Rising and falling on waves of emotional causation,

As if all I had to do was hang on and

Enjoy the ride until it ends.

I have always felt an intense

Desire to rise in consciousness,

To seek for the highest good for all of us

And to help serve in awakening humanity

Through the work I was sent

Here to do by the One

Who is even now calling,

Calling me to come ever closer,

To Love, serve and awaken.

Calligraphy by Chinmayan

HERE IS A VERY SPECIAL KIRTAN FOR YOU…

This kirtan is a traditional chant of mantras mixed with a hit song by the Yardbirds from the late 1960’s…written and sung by KRISHNA DAS, who is the best known and best selling Kirtan leader, who was trained by Neem Karoli Baba…Ram Das’s guru….

This song will set you to singing and dancing with joy with a large chorus singing with him in “call and response” and a full back up band…

Amma in blissful meditation…
