#Hanuman - Conquer with Love


.... whilst I look at the Lakshmi image, I sit listening to a chant ...
OM SRIM MAHA-LAKSHMYAI .... the Universal Mother and Shakti (power) of Preservation ...."Goddess of Wealth and Abundance"
.... I am enchanted by both chant and Lakshmi ... she is beautiful and enchanting!! The chant brings peace and healing!!
She sits on her 'thousand-petaled' lotus flower, holding two more lotus blossoms in uplifted arms ... she looks so serene and happy while all around her the abundance flows ... coins, fruit, peace and love!!  On either side the Sacred Elephants pour 'holy water' in abundance .... the whole time the chant flows around me ... listen carefully, Dear One, hear it and join me. Hold my hands and let us sway and chant together in unity and love!!

Now the CD has moved onto the lilting chant....RAMA LAKSHMANA JANAKI .... there is a taste of  Hanuman.....ah, what bliss ... !!

All of that beauty kinda cancels out all that other bollocks, crap and bumph that's going on out-there....!

However, on ground level, I feel we have been 'reading-the-same-book', observing and 'seeing' the same things???  Global chaos, fear, illness and general unrest and mayhem! An agenda being played out, a take-over of humanity, all in the name of total control and power. And most folk don't realize what is happening ... ai tog!!

But there is an antidote ... the perfect non-violent solution ... as the wise and peaceful Mahatma Gandhi said .... "Whenever you are confronted with an opponent conquer him with LOVE !"

Oh yeah ... that's what I am constantly practicing ... over and over again, I focus on my Heart Chakra ... I engage my innate Heart's intelligence ... it has a wisdom all of it's own, and will know where to go.
So, Beloved Ones, take heart ... we are in the protective Hands of THE CREATOR .... and starting today, I join in the Durga Puja worship .... and even as I type this, in the background I hear the chant ... SARASWATHI, MAHALAKSHMI, DURGA-DEVI NAMAHA .... "Goddess power of creative inspiration, Goddess power of noble wealth and abundance, Goddess power of invincible safely. Salutations!"
Oh my, coincidence? No, of course not!

Beloved Hanuman - Miracle-Maker ... you open minds and make us aware of different ways of existence ... and we thank you!

Hanuman in Americas


Known as "Wilka Heumana" this is the proof that Hanuman visited the Americas as well and that the Vedic influence is found across the world and not just in India.

Please refer to this informative link or do your own research.

Jai Hanuman

Happy first Birthday to my Guru



Happy Birthday Han!

  Up in the Tree-of-Life there is much activity going on!
The scuffles, the gigglings, the twitterings, the rustlings of the leaves as the movement disturbs them, the to-ings and fro-ings...heen-en-weer....so much noise and mayhem, that it looks as if something BIG is about to happen...!!   The Tree-of-Life moves so much that any minute it might topple over!  EISH!
So what exactly is going on up-there/in-there?

   Monkey flits from one busy spot to another, checking up on everything, shushing everyone, telling them to stop-all-that-noise, concentrate and get on with the job 'at-hand'.. um, 'at-paw', or 'at-wing'...or whatever 'appendage' is being used at that point!!   She tells them to "Tone it down a bit, you guys...we don't want the whole Universe to know about this, guys!!"
So, what exactly IZZZZ going on????

    Well, it's a bit of a secret, although the way this lot is going on, the whole Kingdom is going to know         thaaaat         (I'll whisper this)     we're planning a surprise birthday party for our beloved Han!
SHHHHHH....don't say a thing...it's a SURPRISE, OK?

     Tomorrow, someone will take the Han-Entity up-there = it might even be Monkey herself? ....and then we will all sing and dance with happiness because She incarnated upon Earth on the 22nd November!  What a gift She has given us!  Life has never been the same since H arrived....we recognize the Greatness within Her!
It MUST be celebrated! And we will celebrate with gusto and delight!  Eat, drink, dance...what merriment...!

    So, get on with the icing, you guys -- hey, get those Sliggs out of here...they're sticking their dirty feelers into the bowl of icing!!! And get that cake out of the ant-hill (yes, even the Ant-entities are helping out here!) The cookies...the cookies...who's in charge of the cookies ???? Oh yes, the Faery-People are....what with their Fairy Treats and Tarts ... and who organized the coffee? The Java beans are somewhere...golly, that's probably my department...better get going and begin roasting them...all in readiness for tomorrow....the 22nd November! The milch cow on stand-by....?

   Wonder how the Magnificent and Wonderful Han is feeling today? Any progress, Monkey wonders  ??   Going with what plopped into the monkey-mind at the time, all would be revealed, become clearer and fall into place by the 22nd!  Ah well, if nothing has happened, then 'monkey-timing' is a bit out of sinc!
 
But right now, all we can say - because the occasion has not yet arrived - HAPPY BIRTHDAY for tomorrow!
Anyway, there's a party coming up .....so let's get back to work, Guys....no standing around gossiping and talking...whew, being the coordinator is jolly hard work...the 'staff' is unruly and uncooperative...but, shame, they are looking forward to this very special party, so I must curb my impatience at having everything perfect!
Life was never meant to be perfect...in fact if it were (perfect) how boring life would be!!

   Han, Beloved One, Liger growls his best wishes to his bestest friend...and Monkey jumps with joy that she met you....we both love you dearly!       :-)   &   :-D       !!

#Hanuman Blessings - What is real and true?


What is real and true?

....Hanuman....wonderful Hanuman....looking at me with compassion and love in his eyes! He holds me up on His shoulders, as He holds up Rama and Laksmana.
In this crazy, greedy, violent and upside-down world of ours, Hanuman holds me 'in-truth' ... nothing other than that is real.

And everything we see on TV, hear in the radio-news, and read about in the papers, is all an illusion, designed to keep humanity enslaved and in fear of life and the living of it.
I often find myself despairing....but then Hanuman creeps into my vision, via cyberspace, and I am full of hope again!

#TreeofLife - Laundry Day Blues


Laundry Day Blues

Our much-needed and trusty washing machine has a problem!!
It isn't working...kaput, finished en klaar!! Keeps on tripping out and the technician who came and had a brief look, couldn't actually find out what was bugging it!
And this bugs me because this fancy job of German origin was supposed to last us a long time without any problems. We've only had it for 4 years and it should have lasted much longer that that,...hmmm, was supposed to be the 'best' on the market...all sales talk!

Repairing it is our only option, of course, but good technicians are a little thin on the ground!

But we'll find the right person...he's out there and we'll find him, for sure!
OK, so in the meantime we'll be visiting the laundromat diagonally across from us....a new experience for Monkey who has always prided herself that she can do it all alone!

Never needed or wanted extra help, but now need help with the 'heavies'...the sheets and the towels...everything else can be hand-washed, not a job Monkey enjoys, but needs to be done never-the-less!

So here goes, soft little monkey-paws into the soapy tub...and happily (what??...happily??...you gotta be joking!!) scrub away!!

So life carries on despite the washing machine blues and all.

But nothing is too overwhelming, everything can be overcome!
I find inner strength that surprises me, especially when everything is looked through a humorous filter!

And the washing is washed (with great love) by hairy monkey paws while my hairy ears pick up heavenly sounds wafting out of my very ancient little radio! And I sing along lustily when something tickles my fancy!!
Ha! Life certainly has its magic moments, even when doused in a haze of OMO soap bubbles!
And the laundromat is becoming a very familiar place....it's a great help with the 'heavies'!! Nice lady in charge!

I spoke to a friend whose (once-upon-a-time) wash-day blues astound me! Here is the petite Han with a belly-full-of-baby bending over a bath filled with laundry. And then later with Babe strapped to back, she goes and fetch water from the nearest stream....and I think I have problems!  Ha!  

What an experience....but this is just another Earthly experience.  And I love what she said at the end of our conversation....
she is grateful for where she currently is in her life...a life of much less physical struggle, but more challenging!
Maybe more challenging for her this time around, but not so challenging that it overwhelms her. She is an example for us less-challenged folk....she gets on with it regardless.

Life was never meant to be easy...it is meant to BE LIVED!  And to be fully EXPERIENCED....laundry day blues and all!
