I am grateful to Gurumayi for this sublime celebration of Deepavali. I played the instrumental music of
Shri Ram Jay Ram all morning. I felt connected to my heart and to the hearts of all I greeted. Love and joy sparkled in the air.

Lately I have been listening to music and seeing where it takes me. I keep coming back to this namasankirtana because, while I listen, my eyelids get heavy and the music takes me deep inside. I experience darshan in this music.

I celebrated Deepavali today by singing
Shri Mahalakshmyashtakam Stotram at my
puja. During the recitation, I had a profound understanding that the fullness of Mahalakshmi’s blessings indeed abide in the boundless grace of the Guru.
My heart is overflowing with gratitude.

While I listened to the beautiful music and my eyes enjoyed the beauty of the images, my body began to dance. My arms swung upwards and I danced in bliss. My body became light.
I experienced only light, only love, only oneness with my beloved Guru. In me I saw the whole universe! Such is the love of my Guru, such are the blessings of my Guru.

I really appreciate how the tradition of Deepavali is reflected in these colorful and meaningful images, along with the explanatory texts. They bring the rasa of Deepavali to the mind and the heart—worship with a pure intention. To me, Deepavali is one of the most magical celebrations. May its blessings purify our hearts and make them shine brightly.

After having a very difficult day, I saw these wonderful images and listened to this tender instrumental version of the beautiful
namasankirtana Shri Ram Jay Ram. I suddenly forgot everything that had happened during the day. A sweet sense of peace came over my mind, heart, and soul.
It seems to me that my Guru always knows just what I need. It is the greatest fortune to have the Guru’s grace in my life, filling it with love and blessings.
