Love's Pearls of Wisdom from Mahavatar Babaji

Once there was a young girl who left her home in a remote mountain village of the lower Himalayas. She was only 9 years of age. She subsisted on herbs, roots, plants and fruits she found around her and water from the Sacred Ganges nearby. For 9 years she lived in a cave and at the end of her sadhana she was an enlightened being.

Mohini Goddess of Beauty

This now 18 -year old girl began to roam around India from village to village and sit under a tree or on the banks of Mother Ganges and play a flute she had made from a bamboo stalk. The tunes she played were so melodious and beautiful that people who heard them thought: “Krishna, Himself, must have played His flute and sounded like that! The flute music and the serenity of her countenance, as well as the light around her drew people to her. She became a great yogini. She could heal and teach the Vedas although no one had taught her. She said, when asked, that the Seven Sages of the Himalayas had taught her while she was in the cave for the nine years. Some said that she was an Incarnation of the Divine Mother, Herself!

One day a small child was run over by a bullock cart as this yogini sat in the middle of the village playing her flute and teaching the people gathered around her. Mohini Ma, as she was called, due to her great natural beauty, calmly lay down her flute, walked over to the child and poured cool water on the young boy’s brow and said a secret healing mantra the Seven Great Sages had taught her. The young boy stood up and it was discovered that he had no broken bones, no cuts or bruises and seemed completely restored to health. In days to come this was proven to be true.

You see, as Mohini Ma demonstrated to the people of these remote Indian villages, sadhana is very important in one’s life, such as the Atma Kriya Yoga of your teacher, Swami Vishwananda. Remember to do your sadhana, japa, and meditation each day if you wish to progress on the spiritual path. And So It Is.

Sending you all 

My love and blessings,

Love's Pearls of WIsdom from Mahavatar Babaji

As we stand on a green hill filled the wild flowers of springtime in the Great Himalayas, we view the higher snow-capped mountains in the distance. Holding two sticks of round, smooth wood, I hand you one stick. I challenge you to a dance, accompanied by music, which dates back to the warrior class of Indian martial arts spiritual practices. This takes concentration and connects your energy with the other person with whom you are dancing. For if one does not pay strict attention to where the other person’s stick is aimed, and you do not connect or ”defend” with your stick, you may feel a hit to the physical form. Practice this in meditation with me. Many of you will be surprised at the resulting energy you feel within. As Arjuna and Krishna taught you, one’s dharmic intention is very important in dancing, war and all life. And remember, the Gopis enjoyed dancing with Krishna!
