Deva & Bhuti Yajnas
Jai Maa members of the community forum.
First, I want to second what Sadhya Soumya has shared here. What a powerful session with Shunyaji on Tuesday night 🔥
Here, I share a photo of my newly upgraded garden. This is one place I practice Deva and Bhuti Yajnas, caring for the plants.
They had been all clustered together in a small area. A friend of mine and I went out yesterday to buy the planks and bricks to set up a more beautiful place for them to reside.
This morning, when I walked out on the balcony, I was greeted by an amazing energy from the plants. It was as if they were giving back the energy we had given to them - just as Shunyaji has taught us that the Vedas proclaim.
When we take care of the Devas they take care of us! (of course they are always taking care of us) but this showed me, once again, how the intelligent energies of the Devas can actually be felt and that when we acknowledge and care for them there is a tangible exchange.
I have also felt that with the mountains you see in the second photo. I used to just look and think how pretty they were. But once I began to actually communicate to them, you are so beautiful, thank you for uplifting my energy... I began to feel their presence in a profound and connected way.
Deva yajna is such a gift! Without it we are blind to the more subtle exchange of energy that is happening all the time.
With much love and devotion, I say thank you to the sun, the rain (there is a lot here in the Amazon) the mountains, the rivers and streams, the plants, Agni Deva!
And to Shunyaji - thank you for your steadfast devotion to Isvara and to teaching each of us the Vedic wisdom.
Your plants really do look like they're uplifted by and rejoicing in your care 💗 My own parallel bhuta yajna blessing is when one of the hummingbirds I feed every morning comes up to thank me. They have a different approach and sound when they are thanking me from when they are asking me to quickly fill up their feeders again. I always say hello to them, but I will start thanking them for their yajna! I also have mountains I connect with deeply, yet I seem to have come about that a different way. I really like the way you describe sending them the simple message: "you are so beautiful, thank you for uplifting my energy..." I do now understand I need to more intentionally offer my thanks and appreciation to countless devas!
I have found that I can expand the connection with the mountains so that it envelops the land between me and them and that beneath me as well. This strengthens in my awareness the silent presence and support permeating the whole space. Thank you for your beautiful share.
