Yama, God of Death

February 8th, 2010

Namaste,

It is time that I spoke and taught of Yama, God of Death.
I have taught on how to welcome Him into your life with open arms and hearts, how you allow Him to drop into the loop of life and how to share life with HIm.

I have told you about my Lord, who whispers in the ears of Devotees the sweet mantra, “Ram Ram.”
Are the dreams of death sweet or ghastly, calm or frightful?
Is life just a dream of death?
Is death just a dream of life?

I ask you in the simplest of ways.
My hands are in pranam and my heart is smiling away beneath the setting sun from too much love of living and from hope and fear that sets us free we swim in Death’s Sister’s Essence.

Yamanata, Yamanata, Yamanata.
I hear you, my love, as you are part of life.
The joy in loaning us breath and the taking it back stands ahead of all that was done for humans in the past and in the moment.
The stars are making a path, and all the angels are bowing together.
What a pretty sight for the human eyes!
Whatever Gods and Goddesses may do, it is this moment with love unseen that will be remembered always.

My love keeps me still in the moment of stillness, quiet in the moment of quiet.
Goodness holds me close to you in your arms, Death.
I cannot make out what you are whispering in the night.
So handsome behind the Light of life – I bow and bow.
The rivers flow and flow.
My heart beats faster and faster inside the cave of my heart.
And so I begin to teach, to share, and to bring you understanding.

First doubting, my chelas now know the truth that they are part of death.
Yama, your Essence has never been born and cannot die.

Let us pray.
Let us play.
Let us laugh.
Let  us cry.
Death was never born, and therefore not soon to die.
He lacks nothing, He has everything one could want.

I love you so very much.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Merge with the Beloved

February 3rd, 2010

Namaste,

The sweet harmony between you and your Beloved can be felt all over the world.
Each time you discover the Self deep within, you grow more toward yourself and your Beloved.

Having felt the Beloved only once, you walk the path of love.
Having heard the Beloved even once, all is heard.
Having touched the Beloved even once, all is touched.
Having known Beloved, all is known.
All fears are taken away.
All grief begins to disappear.

Oh my Baba, the giver of bliss, give me the gift to teach others of this love.
The Beloved is one in all.
The Beloved is the song of many birds.
The Beloved is the gentleness in the flowering blooms.
The Beloved is the depth of the ocean.
The Beloved is the dew drop in the lotus of the heart.

Merge with the Beloved, and find yourself.
The Beloved is Light that comes to our life.
All darkness has been dispelled when the Beloved smiles.
The Beloved brings light of expansion.
The Beloved floods the seeker with light.
It is this light that brings joy to your heart.

Feel the love of your Beloved this very second on the breath of time and the timeless space of your being.
Every moment think on the Beloved and you will find that the Beloved thinks always on you.

Love,
Ma Jaya

The Quiet of Surrender

February 1st, 2010

Namaste,

Question:

“How does one surrender to the Beloved in order to find answers to questions? Must it always be a matter of surrender?”

Answer:

It is not to the Beloved that one surrenders; it is to your most intimate Higher Being that you bow.
It is all in you.
Your innate wisdom comes from the realm of your Higher Being.
In the quiet of surrender, you are being blessed with your own blessings

Not only do you have your questions answered in the simplest way; you also have the questions put in a way that you can understand them.
Your Beloved is not trying to test you or bring you to the lowest realm of thoughts; the Beloved tries to bring forth that which you already know.
The path that Kundalini travels always ends in the heart; the heart always teaches love, and love is the highest realm.
You learn about surrender, which is all about you to listening to the beauty of your Higher Self.
When you can hear yourself, and then learn to listen and watch the Divine, you will see Shiva dancing in your heart .

All of the heavens open their doors, and the Universe is filled with Divine melody.
You have discovered surrender, and it has nothing to do with anything outside of yourself!

I love you all.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Love of the Beloved

February 1st, 2010

Namaste,

The question today is, “How can my Beloved love me with all my flaws? Does my Beloved know of my flaws and my imperfections?”

Do you not understand that you are part of your Beloved?
Do you not know that you are the most perfect human to the eyes and heart of your Beloved?
I ask you, where is this question coming from?
Who has hurt you so deeply that you cannot feel this love shaving away at that which you do not need?
At the heart of your being, you are pure beauty.

This beauty dwells in my own heart, even though old lusts come to gather (with the blessings of the ego) to gather you in the ego’s arms.
Do you actually think that any part of the ego, even the ego of a million humans, can touch this love?
You can rest assured that you are completely held by your Beloved, who is always in your corner.
And so your question this day truly is, “Will I always know of my Beloved?”
My answer is, “Of course.”

Love,
Ma Jaya

The Invisible Embrace of Love

January 29th, 2010

Namaste

Look in your heart at this moment to see what it is you think you are in need of.
The Rhythm of the Universe is like the Mother’s Rhythm: always there, always here.
Come dance with your Beloved in the invisible embrace of love and trust.
You are the truest sound of the Universe.
Can you feel this love?

Make a promise to your Beloved that you will do your best to live with awareness.
It does not have to be perfect.
It just has to be the way for all of you to accept with grace and understanding the love that the Beloved showers upon you.
The Beauty of the Universe shines within itself in everyone.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Intuition and the Beloved

January 29th, 2010

Namaste,
Question:

“What’s the difference between my intuition and my Beloved?  Is my Beloved my intuition? And if not, do I need to know where my intuition stops and my Beloved begins?”

Answer:

Whatever chakra you are focused on, give your full attention to that which holds your intuition in that moment.
Yet the most juice comes from the center of your skull and drips into your throat and your heart.
When you feel that your intuition is working for you in the moment, be still for awhile and listen to the heart of intuition.
What feels right?
Which way do you turn in the moment?
Do you accept your own intuition in the moment of using it?
Call on the Mother of Intuition, who moves around the different chakras, taking what you need to lead you to the right choice.

Intuition is simply the answer to choice, or choices.
The Mother of Intuition is an atmosphere of pure devotion.
Everything is there in the Mother’s arms.
All the different cells unite, and the answers to so many questions become clear.
The breathtaking moment of listening to your intuition and it is proven to be the right choice brings such confidence.
There is no time in intuition, as it always changes.
The signature of your intuition is not to prove you are right or wrong.
It just is.
Your Beloved takes your ego thoughts and points the way to your own intuitive moment.
The Beloved is not your intuition, although He or She is always part of everything that is in you.

Knowing you are capable to listening to your intuition brings your Beloved so much joy.
Take a chance and listen with your heart.
Let your mind rest.
Discover a new generosity to yourself when you begin to use your intuition.
Intuition is ever abundant; it always was and always will be.
When you find enough silence within you, savor it and trust yourself.
It is very exciting.
It is very freeing
It all comes from the Source, the Beginning, and the Emptiness.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Kali Natha Yoga Teacher Training

January 28th, 2010

Namaste,

Through Kali Natha Yoga, people can grow stronger and be more kind to themselves and to others.
At all the Kali Natha Yoga Intensives, this Ma teaches more deeply.
Our next weekend Kali Natha Yoga Teacher Training program begins on Feb. 12.
There is not a time that your Ma takes everyone so deep in an intimate setting as when I share this Yoga with all of you.
I look forward to being so much with you and having you come closer to your Beloved through Kali Natha Yoga.
I teach the way Neem Karoli Baba taught and is teaching your Ma.
I am quite excited that I am able to prepare you to teach from the heart, body, and soul.
Sometime I teach for hours, sitting in the Dattatreya Temple with my Yogis and Yoginis.

Ma Jaya teaching yoga to Kali Natha Yoga teachers

If you can, there is nothing like learning yoga with the Mother and then teaching it.
I am so pleasantly surprised how many of you are teaching and how well you are doing.
It took many years to pass down this Sacred Yoga, and now it is the time.
It is being taught all over the world as I write these words.
Yet there is nothing like learning in an intimate setting.
Call the Kashi office to find out about the Teacher Training program.

I look forward to seeing you and taking you deep into yourself, where you can find your own pure beautiful self.

I love you.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Merge with Your Beloved

January 27th, 2010

Namaste,

The Beloved always invites us toward the great elegance of Soul.
There is an immense dignity when you merge with your Beloved.
Sometimes in the stillness of meditation, you can hear your Beloved call you.

The Beloved arrives in our lives, filled with the radiance of the Emptiness.
For a while you are caught up in the beauty of the Soul.
It is when the ego has you take the beauty of Soul for granted that you begin to feel separate.

Always know that your Beloved is there and will never abandon you.
You are His or Her love and always will be.

Love,
Ma Jaya

The Dance of Shiva Shakti

January 25th, 2010

Namaste,

I will continue to teach and share with you all that which has ever been shared before because of its simplicity and its power.
Once the Universe can see how respectful you all are of such sacred teaching, then we are on our way.
All you have to do is stay in your heart.
This is the heart of the Mother.

This teaching embraces all religions and all mystical paths.
None are left out.
The Rhythm of Kali Natha Yoga is in your heart, and you will recognize the sacred mood of sun and moon and the rhythm of the many stars that are always lit in your honor.

You can have it all.
None are left out.
There is no prejudice or bigotry.
There is just the powerful dance of Shiva Shakti that goes on and on across the universe.

I love you all so very much.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Using the Law of Love

January 21st, 2010

Namaste,

When you meditate you begin to become aware of all the subtle energy around you.
These energies can guide you through life as soon as you know how to read them.
You will be able to feel what is ahead of you.
When the energy seems frantic, you begin to calm yourself with the breath.

You are always one step in front of the ego instead of the ego looming ahead of you, pushing you back into chaos.
You also will have more energy, and you will not feel left out of life so much.

The inner you can feel the powers within you.
Remember the Universal law is always waiting for orders from you.
All that you want in your life can happen for you.
So many are taught in childhood that they are not worthy to receive good things in life.
Infinite power is very powerful, and you are all worthy of a beautiful life.
Create for yourself a path of understanding of others, and watch your life change.

Using the living spirit within you to go toward goodness has you karmically in the moment.
By using the law of love, you can feel the power of love and spread it around.
When you serve others, you go within yourself and you can see clearly what your next move should be.
Kindness always keeps your heart open and in the moment.

We all can help others to achieve the sweetness of death by knowing ourselves that life does not really end at death.
I have had the privilege of being present at the deathbed of so many.
All of life cannot be said in the few hours or days.
This is when kindness enters, on the wings of angels coming through the door of air.
Your Soul is the true embrace of life.
Your Soul is totally perfect; you only have to slow down and watch your breath.
The Soul has always a perfect picture of death.
The beauty of the whole Universe is in the Soul.
The journey through death is protected by the way of the Soul.

One can look into the eyes of the dying and see such beauty there.
Birth and death are siblings; they are two different sides of one act.
People can feel that they are getting close to the eternal house or eternal life at the time of death.
In meditation, your Beloved is always there, walking hand in hand with your Soul.
I love you all.

Love,
Ma Jaya
