Kali Natha Yoga Teacher Training

Thursday, 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.

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

The Dance of Shiva Shakti

Monday, 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

The Mother is with You

Saturday, November 28th, 2009

Namaste,

During this time, people begin to remember the spirit of the Mother

within them.

Yet the beauty of the Universal Mother is that She always forgives,

even if you forget.

She forgives you and always asks for you to start over.

Earth Mother holds us and the life we lead without complaint.

She is our Mother, and that is all that She knows.

She supports us and loves us, and She enjoys us.

I always wonder what I am going to write each time I sit at my

computer in my Kashi Office.

Baba says, “Just sit and it will come to you,” and I do.

The words at times surprise me, excite me and encourage me to go on.

I feel the bond of love that stretches to embrace the universe with

the love of the Mother.

Kali Natha Tantric Yoga means union with the Mother and the Father God

and Goddesses.

It is union with the absolute Reality.

The purpose of Kali Natha Tantric is to unfold one’s latent spiritual

powers and to unite oneself to  the Mother.

In practice, you present a system of personality integration through

meditation, prayer, wisdom and service to humankind.

Each aspect of yoga helps a person in different spiritual ways.

There comes a time when your mind is able to think lofty thoughts, yet

you are not able to maintain them.

If you take all the shakti that you feel and reroute it to the heart

center, you will find that your mind will calm down.

The mind of the yogi is always having to achieve the purpose of

physical existence.

You have heard the words ‘right action,’ yet do you understand what

this means?

Right action is not sustained by fear, shame or grief.

The human mind is a channel for the cosmic mind.

When the mind is purified through samadhi, it becomes highly creative

and filled with non-judgment.

Then you are more free from the ego than you were before.

The slightest freedom is huge, and is not hard to achieve.

You must begin to love yourself; your Beloved will spend lifetimes to

teach you how to love you and the beauty of you.

This moment say to yourself, “I am love; I am loved,” over and over.

Feel your being fill up with the nectar of the Mother.

She is that which will never abandon you.

Since the world is a product of Maya (cosmic illusion), it can never

satisfy you once you have tasted the love of the Universal Mother.

This love is unconditional and asks for nothing.

All this day try to remember that the Mother is with you, listening to you

and watching you.

You are never alone; the Mother will never let you feel alone.

We will walk this path together, never to part.

She will lead you into the heart of the universe – and She will keep

reminding you that there is nothing you can do to have Her throw you

out of Her heart.

You are Her child and She is your Mother; never forget this.

She lives for you; know this in the center of your chest, for this is Her home

always and forever.

And when life is over, She lives in the center of your Soul, waiting

for a new body of flesh and blood, joy and love.

I love you all.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Kali Natha Tantric Yoga

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

Namaste,

The idea of having a spiritual place is truly ageless.

Every culture in the olden days sensed the need for setting a sacred space, where those of similar spirit could come together and practice yoga or other spiritual exercises.

Knowing this, Neem Karoli Baba led me to this sacred land of Kashi more than 33 years ago.

This is a sacred place where the seeker can practice his or her own way of spirituality.

The beauty of Kali Natha Tantric Yoga is that everybody can do it, feel it, become it, and combine it with any other yoga.

I have watched this yoga spread out all over the world, and I am astonished by how well received it is.

It is said that once you learn Kali Natha Tantric Yoga, there is no yoga you cannot do or accomplish.

The pace of this sacred yoga is simple and relaxed, and yet it touches every part of the body.

Kashi is the place where you can simply experience and feel your heart opening while practicing any form of yoga.

Baba says to share; and share is another name for God and Goddess, and so I do.

I share the words, the feelings, the thoughts, and the space of Kashi.

I share the sacred water in our healing fountain and the sweet scent of incense mixing with the fresh scent of tropical plants.

I have found that I share my appreciation for this sanctuary, this Blessed Kashi, with so many as they feel centered as soon as they enter our sacred space.

This spiritual haven is ageless.

It is the space where the greatest Natha of them all taught the first Nathas.

Lord Shiva taught of a receptacle for ritual and beauty, a space in which symbols and ceremonies help transcend the mundane and allow us to experience all of our lives in a more profound way.

I am honored to be able to teach this Yoga to all of you.

I have also taught the art of dying as part of Kali Natha Tantric Yoga.

They understand death; they respect it, love it and work with it.

People are dying all around us, and yet so many hardly think that they, too, will die.

Kali Natha Yoga prepares one for the journey of death as well as the journey of life.

It is all very exciting, mystical and beautiful.

It is my honor to teach and share with you as I have been taught and shared with.

Join us for Kali Natha Tantric Yoga, and let the streams of love flow within your body, bringing you joy and health and bliss.

Love,

Ma Jaya

Joy Abides in your Heart

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

Namaste,

Kali Natha Tantric Yoga has opened so many hearts to a point that I never would have imagined.

You can become anything you want to be.
You are in charge of your life and your body.
The senses are the lights that illuminate the path and all objects on this path.
The intellect is the light as the self shines on; the self shines on and on.
Joy abides in your heart, and your soul is filled with nectar
Come let us all court Lady Joy, for She is our Mother Laxmi.

Feel your Beloved.
Your Beloved will never let you go.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Finding the Light Inside

Wednesday, October 7th, 2009

Namaste,

It is amazing the doors that can open when your heart is full and flowing over.
The birth of true compassion comes from awareness of an open heart; yet so many are afraid of wounds from the past that they keep tightly closed.
In order to find the light that is inside of you, you have to be courageous.
This will bring you a new strength.

You already have been tested from past hurts.
Now it is time for the beauty that comes from each pain.
Real conversations burst forth, for there is no time to waste.
So many have told me, “Ma, we should live like this all of our lives, not just when death is close.
This is so true; it is amazing to be in the presence of death.
When death comes toward you, you are able to use death as a bridge that you have learnt to cross to find new beauty and new paths.
The courage comes slowly to heal all earthly wounds.
There is so much to learn from death.

Our beauty comes forth at the time of death, once we have learnt all the rhythms of life.
Teaching Kali Natha Yoga is like teaching about coming closer to where we have come from.
This is the true walk of beauty that Baba and Swami Nityananda taught me.
It is all about the Light that is both in us and all around us.

The beauty in discovering who you are has you seeing this beauty in others.
Here is the doorway into another rhythm of seeing and being.
As you read these words, feel the rhythm of life welcoming you, touching you and protecting you.
All of a sudden you are not a stranger to yourself, and others are not strangers to you.
This is the deepest essence that is in you; it can never be damaged or taken away by anyone or anything.

It is marvelous how love of spirit and the Mother can strike you deeply in the heart.
It is this force of love that brings you life and life force.
There is such a magnificent renewal of all things.
All comes alive.
The wisdom of the body knows what to do and how to move.
It is the Mother that shows this to you by example; she brings you a celebration of life and death.

We begin to understand the beauty of the Soul.
The heart begins to burn with love, without the pain of heat.
All is the calming beauty of the Mother’s Heart.
Love entwines us all together as we learn to live fully in the dance of movement and bliss.

This is how the heart’s rhythm can be heard and felt.
I love you with all that I am.

Love,
Ma Jaya

Love is the Weapon

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Namaste,

Love is the weapon that cuts through the heart’s knots.
Love shifts the vision from daydreaming to an integral experience from the body to the Atman, from untruth to truth.
The threshold of love is the sacrifice of what we call the self.

The Soul is the ocean of freedom and independence.
There is no power greater than non-violence to overcome violence.
Truth is the greatest weapon on Earth.
The soul is the joy of all actions.
It is the ocean of freedom and independence.

Let all seekers intensify their efforts for training in self-realization.
It is a constant battle to reject illusion.

Kali Natha Tantric Yoga teaches one to find independence; and with independence, one is free.
You are bound to be victorious.
Non-violence overcomes violence.
Serenity is the absence of subtle desires, due to the increase of purity.
One must live to die to the illusions of life.
One learns to find happiness within.
It is experienced and enjoyed.
Wisdom destroys miseries of all kinds.

The practice of meditation and yoga helps one to break the veils of illusion.
So much can be accomplished with a full heart and a non-complaining mind.

I love you all.

Love,
Ma Jaya
