Gurumayi's 2016 Message Artwork visually represents, for me, a sense of the transformation I have been experiencing recently. While going through a challenge, I have learned so much about the true meaning of love, about what love is, and how to live this new understanding and show it to others. It feels as if a magnificent sun has broken through dark clouds.
Thank you so much, Gurumayi, for being by my side.

The range of materials, subjects, and perspectives of these artistic expressions —from the natural to the highly industrialized (the highway lights!) —remind me that
everything is an expression of the Shakti. These pieces also remind me of the depth, imagination, and creativity of each and every person in this world.
I appreciate the outpouring of beauty, and also the opportunity to see the Guru's Message reflected through the hearts of so many.

I live beside the most amazing turquoise and transparent Caribbean Sea. Gurumayi´s Message Artwork for 2016 reminds me of this sea. When watching the ocean, I am aware that so many expressions of life arise from water. Today as I look at the water, I can only see my Guru. I feel the presence of the divine and sense that my Guru has become all expressions of life.
Thank you, Gurumayi. Your teachings and guidance have taken me into the deep recognition of the Truth. I feel loving devotion, peace, joy, and gratitude.

I have viewed the Message Artwork many times because it always pulls me inside. On one occasion, I experienced a strong, visceral stirring deep inside of me that transported me to the center of my being. I was reminded that the awakened Shakti is so much more powerful than the mind can comprehend. This experience is encouraging me to be conscious of the interplay between self-effort and grace as I imbibe and practice Gurumayi's Message for 2016.

We are expecting our second child very soon, and I have not felt well with this pregnancy. When I visited this section of the Siddha Yoga path website, I found myself absorbing Gurumayi's Message Artwork in all its magnificent detail. I felt as though nectar was being poured into my being from the top of my head, flowing downward into the tips of my arms and legs.
I sense the Message Artwork restoring my equilibrium and filling me with love and peace.
Thank you, Gurumayi. I am amazed at how the power of your teachings is transmitted all the way across the planet via this website!

I am grateful that Gurumayi's Message Artwork has been displayed so soon after she gave her Message to us on New Year's Day. As I participated in the
satsang via live audio stream, I experienced

sadhana. As I imbibe Gurumayi’s Message Artwork, I feel, even more palpably, what promises to be a deeply fulfilling year.

Since listening to Gurumayi's Message, I have felt my body loosen; it now feels more fluid and less bound, yet my awareness is very centered in my core. When I view Gurumayi's Artwork, this feeling is even more enhanced and it becomes nectarean.
