Hey Everyone!
Yesterday was Sivarathri the day to honor Lord Shiva. But right now I don't want to talk about that. Maybe in a later entry, maybe not. We will see. I have wanted to write this entry for a really long time. Weeks ago when this whole morning message thing got started something that went with it was to be Prathyksha Padhuka Pooja. At first I found it extremely bothersome. A whole half an hour of pooja, one of least favorite things. I now it doesn't sound to spiritual to say that, but I am being honest. I just hate sitting still for pooja. I would do everything in my possible power to avoid that part of the morning message. Then if you remember the Sharp Tongue Sanskrit entry I learned how to chant the mantras. I still don't love sitting there especially cause you have to sit straight and look all proper like. But whenever I start chanting for it I have this immense welling of pride and love for Swamiji. Also what I noticed night before last is that as soon as I start the chanting in front of Swamiji my beck automatically becomes straight and I am able to sit cross-legged. As soon as the pooja is over I can't do those things I don't know why ... it's so weird, yet really cool. I just love every aspect of it now, so i wanted to share that here, Maybe I will find out the answer to some of these questions later, but for now I am just putting what is happening out there. If there is anything you want me to write about make sure to comment or something.
