Birthday Bliss, the month of Gurumayi Chidvilasananda’s Birthday, has arrived. At Shree Muktananda Ashram, nature is celebrating. Trees are wearing their full cloak of fresh green leaves; flowers adorn shrubs and tiny plants. And, as you will see in the images above, dandelions are sprouting across the Ashram’s sacred grounds.

It is Gurumayi’s wish that each day of Birthday Bliss, everyone easily experience bliss. So that you may have a sweet entry, a doorway, into this experience, Gurumayi is inviting you to make a wish on these dandelions, as their feathery seeds scatter in the wind.

    Following Gurumayi’s invitation “to make a wish on these dandelions,” this wish arose in me: May everyone everywhere be granted the resources and the opportunities to develop their God-given gifts and talents so that they may make a heartfelt contribution to humanity. May this bring joy to the hearts of all!

    I make this wish in loving celebration of Birthday Bliss: May the Lord God bestow his infinite compassion upon humanity, so that there is true understanding among all of humanity of the nature of God. May we understand that, despite the multitude of religious beliefs, we all worship the same God. And may this understanding bring great peace and unity to all of humankind.

    This is my wish for Birthday Bliss:


    May the sun of joy, exuberance, celebration, laughter, and unity

    shimmer and sparkle in the hearts of all,

    and may humanity’s dance be that of harmony and bliss!

    When I saw the Birthday Wish minisite, I prayed for a good wish to arise in my heart. Soon, I read a share that inspired my wish. I took the crystal heart that Gurumayi had given me a few years ago, held it to my heart, and wished for our hearts to be one.


    As I immersed myself in this practice, my thoughts became more and more absorbed in the vision of our hearts as one. Then, on the eve of Gurumayi’s Birthday, I took a walk in nature. As I walked, a veil lifted from my heart and a beautiful light of recognition entered me. I felt the perfection of the Guru’s heart dawn within my own heart. The worries and concerns of my life dissolved in the peace and tenderness of the Guru’s perfect love.


    I look forward to continuing this simple but powerful meditation practice. I know that the gift of Birthday Bliss will continue to unfold throughout all my days.

    I wish that my wishes become love and that all my past and future wishes find their fulfilment in this love.

    My wish is that Gurumayi’s boundless love, the love she has so abundantly shared with me, may spread—like the blowing seeds of a field of thousands of dandelions—to every heart in the world. I wish that the spark of her love may inspire in all hearts peace, generosity, gentleness, and all of the virtues she has shared with us through the years.

     

    I wish that peace, respect, and unity may blossom in every heart to bring about good will for all animate and inanimate beings, and that we may all respect and nurture our blessed Mother Earth. I wish for the abiding peace of a pristine dandelion, pregnant with a thousand seeds, on a still, windless day.

    I wish that I may always receive with an open heart whatever Gurumayi has to give me and teach me. I wish that I may utilize my whole self to implement Gurumayi’s teachings, and to embody her love and compassion. I wish that whatever I am able to offer to God and Gurumayi each day will nourish, uplift, and protect all living beings on Earth. And may humans work together around the globe to overcome the enemies of the heart, to respect and care for each other, and to live in blissful peace.

    My wish is to be ever grateful for the blessing to know the Guru, to be able to access her words on the Siddha Yoga path website, and to feel her protection, grace, and abundant love in my life. I would like my life to reflect the wisdom and instruction I have received from the Guru on how to live a dharmic life and attain liberation.

    This is such a beautiful reflection. To me, it embodies the grace and generosity of the Guru. When I spend a few minutes concentrating on the lovely photos, it is so easy to transport myself to the Ashram, into the presence of the Guru. I feel the breezes, the warm sun, and the shimmering shakti in the air.

    As a young girl many years ago, I yearned to know God. Where was God? Who was God? Would I ever experience God? That was my most intimate wish.


    I looked in many places. And then one day, Gurumayi came into my life, not in any form I was expecting, but in the most illuminating experience of my heart. There she was, the divine presence who had been within me all those years. Gurumayi is the wish, and the revelation, always.
