These first days of Gurupurnima month have been imbued with heavenly nectar for me. Each day, as I meditate on the exquisite image and repeatedly recite the beautiful Sanskrit words from memory, my awareness of Gurumayi’s presence has expanded and permeated my entire environment.
I sense Gurumayi in my surroundings and see her in my encounters with people and nature. My days are filled with warmth and a constant smile of recognition that I am in the presence of the Truth. This morning, while reflecting on shri guru smarana, I felt completely in my heart and at peace.

I feel that the practice of “Veneration of Shri Guru” throughout July is a great gift. Every day, as I hear and read the sacred words, I feel myself connecting with my Guru more deeply and more consciously. Love and gratitude well up within me, along with joy at being blessed to be a disciple of a Siddha Guru.

I experience sweetness, tenderness, and precision in Ami’s voice as I listen to “Veneration of Shri Guru.” I experience that these sacred words carry so much shakti. For me it’s like a powerful invocation of the purest form of the divine resonance that is manifest behind all the letters of the Sanskrit alphabet.

As Ami pronounces these deeply meaningful words in Sanskrit, the calming resonance of her voice vibrates in a place deep in my heart. The experience is similar to and seems to work in tandem with the resonance of the colors and images for “Veneration of Shri Guru.” They all have a calming effect that draws me within to meditation on the Guru during this powerful celebration of Gurupurnima.

“Shri guru upasana”: Ahhhh, what a breath of fresh air I experienced as I listened to these words! What love and compassion from the Guru! What gratitude I feel for the one who gave me shaktipat-diksha! How many beneficial transformations have her teachings and unconditional love brought about in me!
I express my immense gratitude by humbly offering dakshina before the infinite ocean of love and mercy of my beloved.
