The sweet, pure, love-filled voice singing the
bhajan enveloped me as if with the sandalwood-fragrant grace of my beloved Gurumayi. I meditated there, inhaling and exhaling the fragrance of the sandalwood.

The singer's voice and feelings helped me experience the devotion expressed by the
bhajan very strongly.
Thank you.

Happy Raksha Bhandhan!
This morning during a discussion with other Siddha Yogis I found myself saying, “I am Gurumayi's servant.” In saying this, I felt such a deep connection with my heart.
Then, on the website, I saw the words of Saint Ravidas : “O Lord, you are the Master and I am your servant.” I was so touched. I realized that truly we are connected.
I pray for such devotion all the time.

Today on the occasion of Raksha Bandhan I woke up feeling very happy. I opened the Siddha Yoga path website and saw this
bhajan. I read the words
Prabhu jī Tuma Chandana Hama Pānī. Then
, I started singing the
bhajan and I will sing it the whole day with all my heart and mind.
Allahabad, India
After reading this
bhajan, I took a walk under the moon and contemplated Raidas’s words and images, and my relationship to the Guru. I was happy, and as I walked, I felt my own happiness as the manifestation of the Guru principle. The Guru principle has seemed abstract for me. But tonight, I felt it as elemental to me as the moonlight that provides sustenance for the
chakora bird, and as the light that fulfills the wick’s existence in Raidas's
bhajan.
When I got home, there was a sense of yearning and devotion in my heart. I had planned to watch a movie, but I was drawn to protect the sacredness of my experience. I spent the rest of my evening in meditation.
Thank you, Gurumayi.

“O Lord, you are the sandalwood and I am the water:
Your fragrance permeates my entire being.
Your fragrance pervades everything.”
This image captures me! I am water, and I am permeated with the fragrance of my Guru. I may look the same as I ever did, yet I am changed in a way that can never be undone. I am forever steeped in the fragrance of grace.
As I move through the activities of my day, I am returning to this image, over and over. It instantly brings me to the Guru’s presence. It attunes me to her divine fragrance, which is, indeed, everywhere.
