My Mathamatical Merical

Hello My Dear Ones,
As promised I am dutifully writing again. Today I just have to speak on the mathamatical merical (as you can see there have been no spelling mericals. How do you spell that word!) At the last eKal, the one before the one last Saturday, I asked Swamiji to help me with my math. He said "you just go to class and I will do the work."
Ever since maybe third grade I have been renowned for being absalutly horrid in Math. Last year I basically failed my Algebra class, and only got through because the teacher felt sorry for me. I had been in India for most of the year though. The only way I was able to get into geometry was by talking the guidence counceler into it! My point is though I was bad. Well the past two, maybe three weeks, I suddenly understand everything. It's not like an instant understanding, but I can figure it out quickly where as before I just NEVER figured it out. Now I am helping my friends study for tests, explaining problems to my class mates and finishing my homework with ease. And it doesen't stop there. Lately I have been finding Math work so fun. Like a puzzle I work my way though the problems. I get really excited when the teacher gives up practise problems at the begining of class.
The moral of my story? I am not really sure of an exact moral. I wanted to share with all of you that way Just a few words from Swamiji's mouth can totaly change everything! I mean what else can I say but.......
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, AND THANKS for being there. For helping us on planet earth reach liberation!
(and by the way this picture is of my sort of hugging Dakshinamorthi. The ultimate guru, a form of Lord Shiva, and to me, Swamiji. Whenever he wasen't at the ashram Dakshina was his replacment, to me. In this photo the deity is dressed up in his gold plated finery following the Jayonthi celebrations.)
