What a wonderful beginning I had to Thanksgiving morning as, along with the beautiful piano music, I connected with Gurumayi smiling with the three handsome boys as she showed them and me how to express gratitude by honoring the Guru’s padukas and by performing pradakshina around the murti of Bade Baba. I too joined them in action. I felt connected to them with so much love.

As I watched this beautiful video, I felt my heart fill with gratitude.
Watching Gurumayi laugh with the children lifted my heart, and I found myself laughing right along with them! Gurumayi’s love for children has always touched my heart and inspired my own work, as I have been a teacher and have worked with children for many years.
I will carry this feeling of love and gratefulness forward into the rest of the year as I celebrate, spend time with loved ones, and give thanks for all of my blessings.

To me this video is like a treasure box filled with Gurumayi’s surprises:
Inner light, love, tenderness, protection, smiles, and laughter.
I see her smile, and I smile back.
I see all the smiling faces, and I keep smiling.
Never did I see smiling dogs, but here they are; they make me smile.
Happy devotion is residing in all the photos, and it wells up in me.
My mind is still and friendly.
Gratitude arises—there is no effort,
just the Guru’s grace.

sangham.

It is so magnificent to have the
darshan of Shri Guru on the Siddha Yoga path website. Recently I visited Gurudev Siddha Peeth, and I went to the upper garden, to the Siddha Grove, and offered my gratitude for the Siddha Yoga path, for the Guru, and for the teachings. I gave thanks for Gurumayi’s
darshan on the website. I experienced an intense feeling of joy within. I had the experience that Gurumayi’s presence is in each particle of the universe and that Gurudev Siddha Peeth is the expanded body of Gurumayi. When I hugged the trees before my departure, I felt the trees were able to speak to me. I experienced love and gratitude within myself.

What an enchanting atmosphere is depicted in these colorful images! I can feel Gurumayi taking care of everyone around her, showing her love and gratitude to the children and others in the Ashram. It is a great example for me, and an inspiration, to offer love and gratitude in the same way to my family, friends, and colleagues.
