In Honor of Deepavali, the Festival of Lights
Wednesday, October 26 – Sunday, October 30, 2016
I love diving into this magnificent rangoli and swimming through its extraordinary elements. The elegant, serene steadiness of the swans facing one another, with their shimmering Blue-Pearl eyes, reflecting the beauty in each other; the resplendent colors of the rangoli which appears to be glowing like an enormous candle—everything in this image resonates with perfection. It feels as though I’m viewing it not only through my eyes, but with my heart as well.

This morning, I gazed for some time at the exquisite rangoli, then closed my eyes and entered meditation. Very powerful! I began to experience the golden column of light inside; and ham and sa, representing the Guru’s feet, in the crown of my head. The nectar of the Self filled me to overflowing.
The Siddha Yoga path website has given me so many beautiful ways to enter meditation; they make my practice ever new.
My deepest thanks to Gurumayi for continuously supporting my meditation practice.

For me, the swans represent steadfastness, grace, beauty, and equipoise. Although lights of different colors surround the swans, their focus is on the one inner light.
Thank you, dear Gurumayi, for always reminding us of our true nature.

This rangoli feels so uplifting to me! I see candles and golden coins, the two swans, and the deep blue sea—all the elements are represented in harmony for this Festival of Lights! The bright light at the center of the image reminds me of the light of the Self, my true essence, which is always ablaze at my own center.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for this gift of love and beauty!

Focusing my gaze on the two identical swans in this colorful rangoli created within me the feeling of love and light.
May this light illuminate my path forever.

As I open the Siddha Yoga path website and see the rangoli in honor of Divali, I am inspired by the two swans that seem to be forming the shape of a heart around a red rose representing the core of the heart chakra. Looking at it, I start to feel vibrations at the center of my heart. It’s as if this rangoli is showing me that by practicing the mantra hamsa, I can enter deeper into the core of my heart.

I received wonderful inspiration as I studied this beautiful rangoli. I was reminded to stay centered in the madhya, that I am God and so is everybody around me, and to discover and polish the virtues which are present in their fullness within me.

For some days, I have been facing some challenges and longing to more deeply experience that the Guru is always with me.
This morning when I saw the Deepavali rangoli, I felt Gurumayi inwardly saying, “I am with you.” I am so grateful for this wonderful gift from Gurumayi on Deepavali.
Shubh Deepavali to all.
