Twice daily, I visit the temple in my mind. As part of my practice, I pay homage and give thanks to Shri Hanuman for showing me how to serve. However, I've been feeling that my understanding was a little superficial.
So, visiting the Siddha Yoga path website and contemplating all posts on Shri Hanuman is deepening my understanding of what it means to have such total commitment to service, as he does. This is inspiring me to practice Gurumayi’s Message for 2018 by focusing more consistently on one-pointed connection to the Self, as it manifests in everyone and everything.
Thank you, Gurumayi. And thank you also to the sevites who serve, and to our global
sangham for enriching my life on a daily basis, in ways which I could never have anticipated.

As I saw the image of Shri Hanuman ji, the words
devotion and
dedication arose in me. I prayed that I may also become so devoted and dedicated, always acting from a pure heart. He was the embodiment of love; he was love in action.
After reading this article, I contemplated what things I have to change in my
sadhana at this particular time. I realized that the only way for me to move forward is by emulating Hanuman: committing myself totally to dedication and devotion, to acting with pure love, and to offering
seva, selfless service, with a pure heart.

Early this morning I meditated, as I often do, visualizing myself in the Bhagavan Nityananda Temple where I love to be. I pictured the statue of Shri Hanuman in the temple and imagined making my way to sit beneath it. As I took my seat, my shoulders relaxed as though from shedding a heavy weight, and I melted into a sweet
satsang of supreme happiness. My meditation felt easeful and full of grace.
I offer deep gratitude to Gurumayi. I bow to you with steadfastness and faith.

I am excited about receiving a new story of Shri Hanuman each month as a way to study and practice Gurumayi's Message. I look forward to deepening my connection with Hanuman and with his noble qualities and learning how to embody them in my own life.

As I do every morning, this morning I opened the Siddha Yoga path website. When I saw the picture of Lord Hanuman, my whole being said, “Yes!” I love Lord Hanuman; he inspires me with his devotion and his humility. I always carry a card with his picture as a reminder to practice his qualities in my daily life.
Thank you, Gurumayi, for this website that keeps us in touch.
