Deepavali Rangoli 2021
In Honor of Deepavali, the Festival of Lights

This glorious rangoli rekindles fond memories of early mornings in Shree Muktananda Ashram, when I would stand—filled with hot chai and quiet contemplations—before the intricate rangolis drawn at Anugraha. What a beautiful treat for the mind and heart to bathe in!
This rangoli for Deepavali reminds me of the scintillating blue star that Baba talks about in Play of Consciousness, the soul’s vehicle, and which I saw once in meditation. I have often wished I could portray its beauty artistically. This rangoli does it perfectly.

How stunning is this rangoli! The rich and bright colors drew me in. I held the rangoli in my gaze and, to my surprise and delight, I saw the tiny flames and golden points turn into stars of light and then recede—so enchanting and uplifting. For me, the delicately decorated petal shapes of the rangoli enhance the beauty of the design; it is as if the whole rangoli is moving from its center outward with such vibrancy. At the same time I kept feeling drawn towards its golden center. Gazing at this rangoli is a feast for the eyes, mind, and heart. I have so much gratitude for this exquisite celebration of Deepavali!

My heart felt like it was lit up in a myriad of colors as I gazed on this beautiful rangoli. I have experienced Gurumayi’s abundance in all parts of my life. This celebration drew me into my Self as I prepared to recite Shri Guru Gita and celebrate this exquisite holiday in the coming days. What a joy to walk the Siddha Yoga path!
