Dearest Mataji:  I thought it important you know the big impact you made on these folks. None of them,other than me, have connections with Swami Kriya or Ananda, or even Yoga practices as we know them as in Patanjali, although I know we do practice Yoga in the broadest sense of estabilshing that connection to our inner divinity.   So it was really a first impression and a first exposure to a real Hindu devotional PUJA.  They were most  interested specially because  it is beyond doubt that you are such a clear channel of divinity and your whole way of life is dedicated to God.  You do "walk your talk" and that is what makes your teachings so powerful. I know I am blessed beyond comprehension to know you, to be able to write to you, and to have your books as one  more way to bring light into my life. All love surround you,  Laura/Krishnapriya Dear Laura,   Thank you so much for inviting Mataji to our center.  I sincerely hope she had a great time and enjoyed meeting our group. It was such a treat to meet someone from another culture and share her joyous energy.   I wanted to share my experience with you because it was so much fun:   During the service I found myself becoming a little bored and wondering when Mataji was going to be through with her prayers to the "gods".  In my head my spirit guide Mah appeared and said:   "Remember all those years you dragged me off to Catholic church and I had to listen to an entire service in Latin and then say a whole rosary?  This is exactly how it felt to me as a man from India.  I felt it was a Christian puja."   Of course I had to chuckle and agree that Mah was correct.  Every Sunday in the Catholic church we spent an hour honoring all the aspects of God (The father, son and holy ghost) with bell ringing, chanting and prayer.   So, if you noticed me grinning during the puja - it was when I settled back, enjoyed the day and the rhythm of the chanting.  At that point I could see Mah dancing and twirling in the middle of the circle.  He was wearing an all white outfit that swirled at the bottom and he gave off loads of lavender and purple light.  He would also change form to coincide with the gods and goddesses being mentioned.  His Ganesh, Krishna and Kali were amazing! He was so happy!  This was his "church".   After the service was over I mentioned this amazing appearance to some of the folks staying for the workshop.  They had all seen swirling lights in the middle of the circle!  And, the majority of them had seen the same colors that Mah was throwing around the room!   Thank you again for welcoming a lovely lady, a special service, and serving a fantastic.   Love and Light,   Rev. Doti   OM BOLO Sri Vanamali Mataji....JAI! OM BOLO Mohanji....JAI! OM BOLO Sri Sri Jayendra Saraswatiji...JAI! JAI! JAI! Alll love surround you
