Prayer is not asking God for something; prayer is a yearning of the soul, a beautiful communication with Mother Divine! Open your heart to Mother and experience Her presence in the form of inner peace, bliss and divine love.
--Sri Karunamayi
Today is the fourth day of Navaratri, and we consider our prayers to and our communications with Divine Mother. We call on her by her many names:
The Divine Mother is everywhere.
She is in everything.
She is the Divine Essence that lives within all beings.
Her domain is the field of life, for she gives
to all beings the sustenance that is needed for life.
Her beauty lives in the natural world,
and spans the universes in all their splendor.
She has been called by many names,
for all traditions recognize Her.
--Julie RedstoneWe call upon her to fulfill our deepest desires. We do not call upon her selfishly:
I have learned from ancient scripture
that Goddess Tara is the liberator
of those who travel through temporal existence.
Compassionate Tara, take responsibility for me!
Please purify the intentions of my heart
so the cruel and clever enemy,
egocentric passion and compulsion,
can no longer laugh at me and deride me.
--Lex Hixon
