It was a very heartwarming experience for me to view these beautiful images. I was especially drawn to the photograph where Gurumayi is holding a little baby. This image invokes in me feelings of sweet motherhood and the magnanimity of the Guru's love, compassion, and protection, as well as the expansiveness of the Guru's grace.

For me, these images are divine expressions of the Self that help me to open the eyes of my inner wisdom and to perceive that all is love. Viewing these images, I feel my heart full of joy, sweetness, and happiness. I recognize the Self in all beings and experience the "sweet bliss" of nature, birds, trees, and flowers in all colors and shapes. The red, coral, and orange colors fill my heart with smiles.

I enjoyed viewing the beautiful images in “Sweet Light, Sweet Bliss” throughout this month. Each image has had the effect of stilling my mind, and each one has inspired me to be fully present in the moment and to savor life. The message I received through these images is to stay focused and enjoy the state of Witness-Consciousness.
Happy
Birthday Bliss, Gurumayi!

I felt such joy at viewing these images, which give me a profound experience of what an awakened life is. The sweetness is abundant in all of them, from children with their hands on Gurumayi's knees, to the handsome dog, its paw laid so gently upon her lap.
The depth of what they all reveal for me is that I am truly awake and enjoying every moment of walking the Siddha Yoga path with Gurumayi!

Happy
Birthday Bliss, Gurumayi!
Kishangarh, India
Yesterday I had a very meaningful meditation in which I met myself as a little eight-year-old. It was so sweet! I embraced myself in that form with so much love. Heading into my seventies now, it is astonishing to me that for the first time in my life I felt such immense love for myself. It felt so healing. And now, as I open this Sweet Light, Sweet Bliss Gallery, I see the photo of Gurumayi embracing two little girls, and I see that the picture was posted on the very same day.
I perceive a sweet dialogue between my Guru and myself, and I feel so supported and guided in my
sadhana. I feel that Gurumayi is with me, always. I offer my salutations again and again to my beloved Gurumayi.

I love the photo of Gurumayi’s hands reaching out to caress the slender, feathery leaves of the Japanese maple tree. As an observer, I inhale the softness and freshness of this timeless moment. I hold my breath to allow the softness to linger awhile. I feel the tenderness and surety of the Guru’s love, a love as solid as the deepest burgundy-colored leaf, a love as dazzling as the silver-toned leaves that shimmer in the breeze, a love as alluring as the red and orange hues splashed upon nature’s palette.

As I engaged with the images, I could feel a wave of serenity and silence rising and coursing through my whole being. It was tangible. The energy drew my awareness inside. I felt as if the light that exists in those images exists in my heart as well. It was a sweet
darshan!

Luminosity and sweetness, indeed! I experience Gurumayi’s

With this
darshan I experienced the photographs as a teaching about being fully present in every moment, with focus, love, reverence, and service; and that everyone and everything is here for a purpose, the role that God has intended for each. I am to live that purpose fully in every moment, as does my Guru and all of nature.
