Om Jai Jai Maa

Welcome to the first Empowerment Newsletter.

Empowerment is the energy which increases our capacity to make conscious choices and then to transform those choices into a Life Divine.  By providing knowledge, advice and news from our Humanity In Unity Community, we hope this Newsletter will support you in your Sadhana (spiritual practice) and daily life.

Moving in Love  - Her Holiness Sai Maa

The more you move in Love, in Light, accepting the highest of your Self, knowing you are Loved and Loved and Loved and that you lack nothing, everything else is then healed.  Go directly to the Love, the Grace, the Light within you and within others.  Bypass all these ideas or concepts or belief systems of emotional “stuff.”  It is a matter of choice.  True, real Freedom lies in one's openness.  Keep loving God for the sake of loving God.  Love God for what God is.  Again, I repeat, Love God out of Love and not out of Fear.  Cherish these moments in their fullness.

The Path to Love

“Let the music of Love melt your heart.”  - Sai Maa

It is said that the physical body is surrounded by a body of Love.  Learn to live in this subtle body because we can only see or hear the Divine through the eyes and ears of this body of Love.  The doorway to the body of Love is through the heart, and the key to the door is forgiveness.  Without forgiveness we can never know Love, and without Love, we will never heal.  Love heals the body, heals the mind, heals the emotions and will ultimately heal this planet.  Practice forgiveness every day, forgive everyone you feel has hurt you, forgive yourself for the hurts you feel you have caused.  And, when you think you have forgiven everyone, forgive some more!  Open yourself fully to Love.

Love is so much more than just a superficial emotion. Love is the Divinity we radiate in our lives to all we meet.  Learn to Love yourself.  When you fully, passionately and, unconditionally Love yourself, you will automatically Love everything and everyone and everyone will fall deeply in Love with you. 

There are only two emotions, Love and fear.  All negativity, all suffering can be traced back to fear, which dwells in the mind.  The heart, on the other hand, knows only Love, beauty, compassion.  Sai Maa tells us to think with our hearts and Love with our minds, to pour Love into anything that challenges you, to open your heart to everyone.  As you go through your day, learn to ask your heart for guidance, listen to its silent messages.

Send the gift of love to everyone you meet through a smile, a compliment or a silent prayer. Remember to send Love to those who may challenge you. 

“To experience Love is not enough, to taste it is not enough. 
Be Love itself.”  - Sai Maa

The Great Love of Mother Divine

During April we also celebrate the Indian festival of Navaratri – the nine days of Mother Divine.  Navaratri is a celebration of good over evil, wisdom over ignorance, when the gods in heaven created the Goddess Durga to kill the powerful demon king Mahishasur. The battle that followed between Durga and the demon lasted 9 days and 9 nights. Finally, on the tenth day, known as Victory Day, the Goddess killed the demon, saving the world from ignorance. 

Navaratri is divided into three sets of three days each to invoke different aspects of the Divine Mother. On the first three days, the Mother is invoked as the archetypal energy of Maha Durga in order to destroy all our impurities, vices and defects. The next three days, the Mother is invoked as the giver of spiritual abundance in the form of Lakshmi Devi. The final three days are spent in worshipping the Mother as the goddess of wisdom and knowledge, Saraswati Devi.  To have all-round success in life, we humbly seek the blessings of all three aspects of the Divine Mother. 

This spring, Navaratri begins on April 6th.  The simplest way for you to join this celebration is to chant the mantras of the Divine Mothers Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati each day in your own home the Devi mantras are:

Our Maha Yagna

On April 7th, we will begin the ten days of Yagnas (fire ceremonies) to bring great blessings of spiritual and material success and abundance to the whole HIU community and through us to the world.  The Yagnas will take place at the Sai Maa Institute for Enlightenment in Boulder, Colorado.  On April 6th, the Vedic Pundit will perform a series of pujas to purify and bless the land and the Yagna Shala in preparation for the Yagnas.  All the gods and goddesses, Ascended Masters, Angels and Archangels will be invoked and welcomed so that their Love, Power and Shakti will be fully available to us.  The Yagnas will be performed from approximately 9:00am-12:30pm Mountain Standard Time each day for nine days and from 9:00am-3:00pm on the tenth day, April 16th.  Everyone is invited to attend for part or all of any of these times.

These Yagnas have been organized by the Grace and infinite compassion of our Beloved Sai Maa, who constantly guides and protects us in so many ways.  We offer our thanks to Sai Maa for this great gift and encourage each of you to open yourselves to receive these magnificent blessings during these days.  We also offer thanks to all those who so generously helped to sponsor these Yagnas. Your names have been sent to Sai Maa for Her special blessings and will remain on the Puja table throughout the days of the Yagnas.
