Jai Maa! Thanks to everyone who participated in the Navodaya 2026 retreat. During the sharing circle I did not yet have the words to express my experience. Later that day they did come. This is my reflection to share with you:

Divination Draw

Drawing the number one: Tat

Listening to my guru's explanation, excited and reassured,

my inner voice expressed love for this word.

Later, while pondering our chosen words,

the tenticles of foggy doubt crept into my small self's mind,

blurring my initial vision, and suggesting I couldn't possibly

know anything about this word.

But Guruji's guiding light reflected within me.

Right then I chose to live in rememberance of this

greater Truth, Tat.

I opened my palm, exposing this sly and slippery doubt creature

to the gaze of Truth.

It transformed into a deep warmth of gentle contentment,

provided by Maa's embrace.

Jai Maa! Jai Guru Dev! 🙏
