During my morning routine, while preparing for my morning prayers, I visited the Siddha Yoga path website to read a teaching on any topic at random.
Reading Gurumayi’s poem filled with her blessings on this auspicious day of Deepavali brought a flood of memories of growing up. I remembered how in our home, preparations began the day before the day of lights, with cleaning and wearing new clothes.
For me, Deepavali symbolizes shaktipat-diksha, bestowed by my beloved Siddha Guru, for it is through her guidance that I experience the light in myself and see this light everywhere.
I became completely absorbed in the profound meaning of this day as I slowly read through each word and phrase of Gurumayi’s poem.
I am so grateful to Gurumayi for her generosity and guidance as I live my final years on this earth. I offer my gratitude every moment as I reflect on the many blessings Gurumayi showers upon my family and me.

This morning, after a challenging time, I found this precious gift from Gurumayi. I felt so blessed to receive it, and I began to read it with great anticipation and enthusiasm.
Reading it was a journey inside from darkness to light, and at the end, my eyes and my heart were full of light.
My heart was at peace, my mind was still, and I craved for nothing. It is such a benediction to have a Siddha Guru who illumines my path again and again.

Deep gratitude to Gurumayi for “enlightening my consciousness,” fanning the flames of my inner light, and bringing my awareness to the light that shines in me and connects me to everything.
The divine words of Gurumayi’s poem sing in my being. They make me feel stronger, softer, more open—and fully trusting in the knowledge they contain. They return me to the enlightening truth taught by the Guru that “God dwells within me” and that everyone and everything vibrates with the light of God.
