Deep gratitude for Reflection Pod
Jai Maa all,
This morning as I watched the sun rise and the sky change color from dark to light I felt a deep sense of gratitude for the reflection pod I participated in last evening (and since it first formed). This transition from light to dark mirrors my experience from the beginning of the session when I am entering after a full day to the end when I feel more light and connect to Maa. The opportunity to digest and practice mananam with fellow kula members deepens my individual practices and my learning. Every time I attend I hear a reflection from the others that leads to more contemplation privately. For me having a designated space I know I can be with others on this path is invaluable.

I am looking forward to listening to these episodes. Sita’s Gems is much needed to bring Maa Sita’s full and authentic voice and story to the world. Here is the link to purchase the beautiful Sita’s Gems program. Home - Sita's Gems The Store link on that page takes you to Michael Sternfeld’s other audio productions on Valmiki Ramayana, selected Upanishad passages, Shri Ram, and Hanuman ji, which are also wonderful. Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni’s retelling of the Ramayana from Sita’s perspective is called The Forest of Enchantments and is well worth the read (as is The Palace of Illusions, centered on Draupadi from the Mahabharata).
