Namaste,
You all seek the freedom of living in your spiritual essence.
Spiritual poverty has no place on the path.
To ask to get closer to your essential self, you need courage, determination, and strength.
The lovers of the Universal Mother travel in the opposite direction of most of humanity.
They follow the path of absolute, unconditional love.
The true self belongs to the Mother within.
You ask Her for the ability to see past the flesh into the rivers of your heart.
When She answers, you are able to see yourself on your funeral pyre that you light yourself.
You can sit in a freeing meditation of seeing yourself upon the funeral pyre and watching how your ego body melts into the flames, which are fanned by the Mother Herself as She sits and watches the flames entering her own body.
Here is where She absorbs the ego and turns it into the golden aura of light.
She Herself lifts the spirit-self from the flames and brings part of Her own flesh to you, the child of Her womb.
Ask Her to take you into the place where the ego has no place.
We need Her Shakti to help lead us to our selves.
Only then are we ready to enter into the formless of joy and ecstasy.
Our physical bodies return to dust and ash as our breath begins to journey into death.
All of our lives, the Beloved prepares you for the beauty of death with the Mother’s name on your breath.
When you believe that the road is too difficult and you begin to stumble, it is the Mother who grabs hold of you and sets you straight upon the path that you chose yourself.
She brings us the strength to face our dark side and come through into the light with the Mother never leaving us at all.
She is not so far beyond us that She cannot hear our prayers and pujas.
I love you all.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
Sit in a comfortable position and bring your hands to pranam.
Using your thumbs, find that sensitive spot between your breasts.
Let your attention come to the center of your chest.
Just feel your attention right at the sternum, just under that bone.
For some there might be a slight, or more than slight, heaviness there. Perhaps there is pain that is noticeable, born of fears from lifetimes.
Don’t try to label it, just feel it.
Is there sadness?
Do you feel stress in your chest?
Reflect on the very center of the heart.
Begin to press on that sensitive spot, feeling the sadness breaking and melting away.
Feel the heart, and breathe into it.
Let the thumbs push into that sensitive area.
Do not use any of the pain or sadness as punishment.
Go deeper and deeper.
Do not try to protect the heart.
Keep the thumbs pressing, allowing the heart to be completely vulnerable. Understand how deeply the Universal Mother loves you.
Surrender into the feelings.
Let everything come through.
Let the chest be wide open.
Do not be afraid of the love coming from the heart.
Don’t judge yourself.
Just experience all feelings, knowing that the Mother is with you.
Let your breath bring you a soft awareness of the Mother’s love for you. She destroys pain and suffering.
She takes from you what you do not need.
Always try to be the child of the Mother.
You may feel a very noticeable ache or discomfort in the chest.
This is a pain born of the losses, fears and tensions of lifetimes.
Lower your hands and softly breathe in and out of your fourth chakra. All the pain has left, and the breath is bringing you the breath of the Mother.
Sit quietly, and enjoy the openness of the heart space.
You will find that you will be able to breathe more deeply than ever before, and you will have so much more energy.
Just keep letting go.
Go deeper into the love.
There is so much more space now for the breath of pure love.
I love you all so very much.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
One thing you have to understand is your individuality.
Though we are all the same, there is the uniqueness that the Universal Mother loves so much.
It is only when you deny your strength that you make yourself weak.
By denying your own worth, you deny others your beauty.
The key to knowing who you are is balance, Divine Balance.
You have to love yourself and take care of yourself: eat right, exercise and meditate.
By doing this, you will have balance and you will not give away any of your power unless you want to.
We all live in the state of internal now, and you have to know what it is you want from the Universe in this internal now.
Not later, or even before – RIGHT NOW.
With great patience, wait as you do everything to make your dreams come true.
Your prayers are your power that allows you to live in your highest good.
You can repeat this from time to time: “I live in my highest good.”
You can form a habit of meditation that will let you develop more love for yourself and for others.
By putting the love of the Mother in the mind, the mind relates more to the heart.
As you sit, you can imagine a great light coming into the top of the head and flowing all through your body.
This is utter beauty.
This is simplicity.
If you can, give yourself time to go reach your limitless potential – and you will become balanced.
If you look deeply you will see that you have a positive image of yourself.
You are here for the joy in life – for yourself and for others.
You have a powerful image that you can carry out to the world.
Everything is possible if you just know the power of unconditional love.
Set goals, and don’t worry if you cannot reach your goal; you have reached other goals simply by trying.
See yourself in your mind, where you can run through all the projects with ease and love.
See your life full, with so many being nourished by your love.
I love you with all my heart.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
The ego is like a separate entity over which the mystic can gain mastery.
But the ego does not like to give up its ability to rule us fully.
It does not like to give up its freedom by losing a great influence over us.
You need to learn to separate the heart-mind from the ego-mind.
You do this by turning your attention to both your Beloved and the Mother of intuition.
In this way, you break the stranglehold of the ego mind.
The mind has to blend into the heart to surrender to the higher purpose of the Soul.
This is so our attention is not caught in the veils of illusion and the conflicts that the ego brings.
When you say, “My Beloved loves me,” you confuse the ego – and it releases its tight grip as you begin to believe in your heart that these are words of truth.
The truth of these words is so very deep that they are the greatest weapon you can use to find your essential self.
The ego mind can be controlled by the practice of the Name of the Beloved Mantra.
It can stop the ego mind from taking us on its meandering course of chaos.
How often are you caught in patterns or sequences of thought that are unnecessary and uncreative?
How often does the ego-mind capture us with desires that have little to do with our life?
The Mantra “My Beloved loves me” focuses the heart-mind and frees us from captivity of thoughts with dark meanings.
This requires practice, and yet it works right away.
Repeating the Beloved’s name stops the stream of negative thoughts.
The ego belongs to duality; it loves to compare and contrast, and it loves arguments and anger.
Simply turn your mind back and feel the love that is yours to begin with.
You are made in the image of the Universal Mother’s heart and are tremendously powerful as you float in Her love.
It is the ego-mind that catches you in the web of anger; most of the time you don’t even realize that you are angry.
Focus on your Beloved, whoever your Beloved may be, as you go about your outer life.
It is all about the Moment of Love.
Let it flow deeply with inyou.
Then go about your day drenched in this love.
I love you.
Love,
Ma Jaya

Namaste,
There is always a divine guidance inside of you.
It is the Mother of Intuition.
Merely wishing for intuition is not going to work.
You have to trust the wisdom that created you.
Surrender to your own intuition.
Trust in the miracle that you already are.
The Mother speaks through you.
When you have mastered the art of serving others, you begin to master yourself.
Know that inside of you are the Blessings of the Mother.
You only have to bring them to the surface.
Duality is not your friend; the ego brings you hesitation when you begin to know that you are loved by the Mother.
The mystic knows that he or she is the Mother’s wish.
This is the dance of the mystic.
Sometimes you feel tremendous confusion; then suddenly, when you realize that there is no separation between you and the Mother, you begin to understand.
In this way you find your own strength.
Any name of any of Her many forms is a mantra unto itself.
By saying Her name, you begin to go deeper.
This is the Law of the Universe.
Though for each of us it is different, the deep love of the Mother for Her child is always the same.
You know in your heart that there is a consciousness in a different reality other than this world.
And yet there is no separation.
When you begin to know how much you are loved, it is like butterflies in your heart that feels like bliss.
Go into meditation, and all of a sudden it is there -this wholeness that is you.
The outer world is just a reflection of your consciousness.
When you wake up in a happy mood, everything around you looks good.
When you wake up with any negative thoughts you went to sleep with, the world looks dark.
If you can remember that the Mother absorbs all of your negativity, you can begin to feel free.
She knows of your existence.
She also knows we all live in Her net of love.
You can feel Her presence if you look into your stillness.
She is our Beloved, and She has the quality of infinite tenderness.
She is the raging wind to the ego mind and the calm sunset to our peaceful heart.
She is the sweetness of our lives, the intimate Beloved of our hearts.
It is like floating in the sea after a shipwreck, and the Mother is the current that takes you to Her shores and loves you deeply.
I love you with all my heart.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
When you are in the flowing moments, all is well and all can be overcome. You don’t think about your deep problems as you flow into the Formless Sensations that you were born to feel.
You are less afraid to explore your own spirituality.
It takes courage to get to know your Divine Self.
So much must be left behind.
Everything that stops your life from being fully lived is always left behind, and you feel almost free as you float in joy and happiness.
There are many miracles in your life.
One is being aware of these miracles in your everyday life.
This makes sure you are not a slave to your ego.
The greatest miracles happen when you can put the moment in the moment.
You can find the bliss that is unmistakable.
The surrender is not to a Guru or Teacher, but to the natural flowing moment that life has in store for you and that the Universe is trying desperately to show you.
This is why awareness is so important.
The more bliss that you are able to create yourself, the more all of your performances become more productive.
This is the process of the natural state of bliss coming to you.
This creates miracles in your own everyday life and takes you beyond your own borders and lines you draw for yourself.
In meditation you learn to listen to your intuition instead of your ego, which is constantly trying to ride the rivers of the bliss you were meant to flow in.
You are on the path of reversing consciousness to flowing with an open consciousness toward any of your dreams.
This is a mental game that the ego plays with you.
For instance, the ego has you thinking that you do not deserve a good or great life.
You know that this is not true.
The second you live as if this is a false presumption, you begin to feel the flow of Source, the moment of acknowledging bliss.
It is as if the whole of the Universe is at your service, as long as you are in the flow.
You and you alone are responsible for the impressions that enter your mind.
You must know how powerful your minds are.
You can create the world that you wish to live in.
You only have to trust your inner vision.
You have something in you that no one can take away from you.
You have a special retreat inside of you, and you know this by beginning to living your dreams.
The greatest power comes from your Soul; not from your ego mind, but from the Soul that brings you the true bliss that is yours – if only you would take it.
By living your purpose and listening to your own intuition, you will understand that you are the makers of your dreams coming true.
When your mind shows you visions of scarcity, you simply say to yourself, “Next”.
This word will confuse the ego and bring clarity back to your heart.
Next!
This simple word will help you more than you can imagine.
Say this word with conviction and fortitude and change your life immediately.
The old thought is now finished, and the next thought can be of prosperity.
Bring a picture or image of prosperity to you and do not let go.
The material world is limitless.
Develop a trust in your intuition.
Place more trust in your instincts.
I love you,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
External appearances are the basis of forming first impressions about any person. While most people judge others on the basis of their first impressions, there are those who are thoughtful. They wait and watch to understand people more profoundly before they make up their mind. When all of our senses are open without judgment, everything shines.
The sense of timelessness and the sense of an open heart and mind go through an infinite state that we call meditation. Start to build up your mental muscles of awareness. This is a place of non-judgment.
When you feel your mind wandering during meditation, say to yourself, “Thinking, thinking, thinking.”
Everyone is different.
Focus on your in and out breath, and feel the breath expand.
Then pay no attention to the breath.
Keep your spine straight.
There is a subtle energy that rides up and down your spine.
Place your palms on your thighs or palms together in your lap.
Try to keep the eyes closed.
Just take notice of your breathing.
It flows in and it flows back out into space.
Little by little, you hook on to that rhythm.
The breath comes out into the clear blue sky infinite spaciousness.
When you catch yourself wandering say to yourself, “Thinking, thinking, thinking.”
Just hang out with the rhythm of the breath.
The breath is like a swing. It comes like a swing touching all things.
All life, all space, all being is in you.
Listen to the silence.
Listen to the joy of the breath.
Listen deeply inside of you.
If you are caught on a thought, just let go on an out-breath into space.
Keep breathing in and out so very gently.
Do you have a heart prayer you can say simply to yourself?
How about a prayer of gratitude as you return to the center, where there is no division between heaven and earth?
Ask to be forgiven your mistakes, and they will be taken.
Let go of what you have done or not done.
Become present and awake.
You are the mystery; you are the song of songs.
May your hearts be full all this day.
I love you all.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
There are times when you are in such need of the Mother that you hide under your own pride and desire. Her love opens your silence; as we enter even slightly, Her heart pulls us in. We step over our abandoned pride and enter into Her temple of love. She keeps us with Her until our tears dry out.Our feelings of jealousy fall apart as we weep in Her Divine arms.
Her heart weeps for all of us.
As we look into Her eyes, we see that we can return to our lives and settle in – for She has taken our fears.
Only as days turn to weeks, we tend to forget and start all over, afraid to call on Her.
We are afraid to call on our Beloved; and in these fears, we have lost control over life.
Once we recognize this pattern, our true lives begin to bloom.
Our hearts open as we allow the Mother’s love to touch us deeply.
The poor one is the one who does not speak or feel the heart.
The rich one is the one who always feels and speaks from the heart and lives this way.
You will learn; we all learn.
Life is forgiving, if we forgive ourselves.
Keep the words “I love you” always on your lips, and you will learn to kiss happiness itself.
I love you.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
Try to understand that when you feel at peace, even for a moment, it is because you are expanding.
When you expand, all your views begin to change
The sense of freedom and peace takes place within the waves of your heart.
Whenever you feel love even for a second, milk it and enjoy it; that too will expand into the place where time does not exist.
Endeavor this day to understand your ability to expand and hold more truth and love than you can comprehend.
You are true spirit; and when expansion comes to you, you feel lighter and filled with this spirit, which is pure Shakti.
All your mental and physical movements are filled with spiritual possibilities.
Think this day on the thoughts you have chosen – not thoughts sent by the ego to disrupt your peace.
No one has limited destiny that binds one to a certain way of thinking.
You always can reach for a different and better thought if you so desire.
Remember, you all have free will and choice.
All this day think of things and people in your life that you are grateful for.
Count all your blessings and write them down.
And know that your Beloved is always helping you to expand and expand.
I love you
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram

Namaste,
When unexpected feelings come to the surface, and when remarks are made that really mean nothing at all- yet you are still hurt a lot – then you must understand that you are not in alignment.
You are not in balance with your true nature.
You can tell if you let your body speak to you.
See how you feel.
Ask yourself, “Why did I feel like this?”
Then follow your mind back into your own unconscious, and let your heart figure it out.
As long as you are being honest with yourself, you can follow the mind into spaces that you would not ordinarily go to.
When feelings or resentments are interfering with your life, it truly is time to face that which you may to refer to as your demons.
Yet when you can acknowledge your true feelings, the darkness in you has to begin to crumble.
When this happens, you are no longer limited by the restrictions of repressions.
You do not realize the richness that you have lying deep inside yourself, waiting to oblige you into knowing your true self.
Once you accept any flaws in yourself, you begin to accept the richer part of yourself.
You begin to feel the expanding consciousness.
Enlightenment is the simple expansion of consciousness; it is very gradual, yet it is continuous.
This happens gradually because we need to adjust to the light as our inner selves expand.
Slowly your life becomes richer within.
On the outside we are still the same; yet on the inside we are no longer trapped in the ego.
We go to a place where the sun does not set, and there is pure light all of the time.
We become like the eagle that can look straight into the sunlight without blinking.
He just accepts the light as his own.
The Shakti of love energizes us to love ourselves, and therefore to love others.
Through love we offer all of our darkness to the Mother; she takes it and returns it to us as a golden light.
I love you all.
Love,
Ma Jaya
Kashi Ashram
