30. Dinanuddharini bhavabdhitarani santarini te daya yamashritya sadaiva shailatanaye parangatah papinah. Tasyalambanamadya dehi varade danishvari tvam mata tyaktva tvam vada kam prayami sharanam kanya dayarupini. 30. O Parvati Redeemer of the poor, You are the ferryboat for those who seek Your shelter. And with Your Grace many poor sinners reached the other shore. O Mother known as Queen of Wealth, grant me today the boon of Your refuge. Abandoning You, O Mother full of Mercy, tell me, who other than You shall give me shelter? --- A Christmas Message from Mahalakshmi: This verse today is so fitting for Christmas Day. According to what we know of Jesus from the Bible, He was a living embodiment of Parvati, redeemer of the poor. He saw all as equal and loved all equally. His miraculous powers were siddhis and a testament to his level of enlightenment. He was a living embodiment of the exact principles of Sanatan Dharma. Jesus is an example of all of us when we ascend to our Higher Wisdom of selflessness, love, generosity, forgiveness, and service to humanity. These are the very tenants of Sanatan Dharma the Eternal Way of harmony with each other and Nature. Mother Mary is revered in Christianity for having given birth to baby Jesus. It is Great Mother that not only gives us life through birth; She is also the Shelter, whether it is a literal home, the empty sky above, or Mother Earth. She is the food that nourishes our body and even our body is Great Mother's abode. This is why there is merit in the teaching of holding Her Holy Feet in times of difficulty; She is in All and will see you through any trials, easing your pain. The shelter given to the father and mother of Jesus on the night of his birth can only be that of Great Mother Herself who has been given many Names so that she can be spoken to, invoked, and accessed directly, so that Her divine conscious energy, as one with Jesus, may enhance and enlighten our lives. She is not separate from us, nor is Jesus, nor is anyone. We are That. As I continue on my spiritual path, I can only see the oneness in these seemingly separate spiritual traditions. The story that I grew up with from the Bible continues to serve me well into my Dharmic path. The heart of the teachings are the same. Truly the way of the heart is clear: be good, do good, think good. It is up to each of us to follow our heart, to be courageous, to be selfless, to allow an emptying of any notion which is untrue, and it is in this emptiness that Christ Consciousness can dawn in each of us and as a result, society. It is a process of tearing down old structures that do not serve the highest good and that process can be painful. That is why we can follow along with these verses of the Haidiyakhandi Sapta Sati, holding the feet of Divine Mother as our True Shelter on the night of our Birth into Christ Consciousness. May you be well. May you weather whatever storm may come and emerge free from all suffering. Om Namah Shivay

OM NAMAH SHIVAY He who is adorned with all the divine perfections; the ultimate Being, who gives all; the Supreme Yogi; the Swan of Knowledge, who lives in the heart of the knowing; the Supreme Teacher of the Art of Yoga; the Lord of the Universe, whose sanctuary is Kashi (Benares); the Lord who dwells in the sacred cave of Mt. Kailasha, the King of Sages, the Lord of Haidakhan gives HIS Blessings and says: "The Great Power that is the cosmic Maya, the Supreme Divine Energy, the Mother Goddess of Haidakhan embodies the totality of all that is to be known (the ten mahavidyas), being the combined divine Grace-Energy of the Goddess Mahakali, Mahalakshmi, and Mahasarasvati. To worship the lotus feet of the Universal Goddess in this form gives human life its highest realization. "The publication of the Shri Haidakhandeshvari Sapta Shati is a great blessing and boon, as it facilitates Her worship: every word of this great prayer is a divine mantra. Reading and reciting it cures incurable diseases, rids the mind of worries and solves all problems while the aspirant on the spiritual path attains the divine perfection he desires: prosperity in life, worldly happiness and spiritual peace. "These divinely inspired prayers are written for the Divine Energy which resides in My heart; they are being published for the benefit of the world. For those who speak Hindi, there is appended a translation of these verses. Appended is also the Shri Mahabhairava Stotra and its Hindi translation; its recitation will give the same results. "Believers all on the path to God, come and worship the Divine Mother with these great verses. "Receive happiness, prosperity, and peace. Allow these prayers to make you happy. This is My wish and Blessing for you." (Taken down according to the dictated instruction of BABAJI.) The picture is of Babaji and Shastriji.

Everyday I read from the Haidakhandi Sapta Sati. It is a book of prayers to the Divine Mother. When I read these divine words, all the joy and peace in my heart shine out from me like rays of light, reverberating in every cell, and I can't help but smile. The smile in my heart remains. The prayers in this book are of an unbelievable energy: pure, divine, that of enlightenment itself. This divine book is written by Vishnu Datta Mishra, Haidakhan Babaji's Shastri at Hairakhan. I will now update this blog consecutively with a passage or two from the Haidakhandi Sapta Sati, including the introduction to the book written by Shastriji himself and by Babaji, in the next entry. The Appearance of the Divine Mother of Haidakhan On May 25th, 1969, one month before the most worshipful divine Master Mahendra Maharaja left his body, he called me to Vrindavan by sending two telegrams to my home in Rajgarh, Rajasthan. These were his words when we met: "Brother Vishnu, if the Lord should appear during my absence, then this mantra will help you to recognize Him. As far as I know, this mantra is known only to the Lord and to no one else. It is mahamantra and was given to me by the Lord Himself at Siddhashram: it comes from His own divine lips and is a priceless jewel for many lives." As he spoke to me, the most worshipful divine master smiled and touched my head three times with his lotus hand. When, in February, 1971, Sri Haidakhan Bhagavan came to Samba Sada Shiva Kunja, Vrindavan, I was overcome, when I heard, word for word, the same mantra from the Lord's own lips. My heart was filled with joy and my soul was immersed in a sea of bliss; my body felt elated, my voice failed me. Then the conviction dawned in me that He is the Ultimate Absolute Divine, worshipped by our most beloved divine Master, that immortal Being of the beginning of time, indestructible, beyond vision, the Lord Narayana, who resides in Haidakhan. That same morning at Samba Sada Shiva Kunja I met an old friend of mine, Shri Vora of Bombay who is a devotee of Mahendra Maharaja. As soon as we met he said to me: "Shastriji, a few days ago I had a divine dream: a young maiden of very fair complexion appeared to me: Her hair fell over the back of her shoulders, Her forehead was luminous, Her eyes very large. When I asked her: "Who are You?", she replied: "I am Haidakhandesvari" but when I asked further, She only said: "Search for Me!" Having told me this episode, my friend asked me: "Can you tell me something about Haidakhandesvari?" Immediately I took out my manuscript of the "Sri Haidakhandesvari Sapta Sati" from my bag and said to him: "These are seven hundred verses I have written in praise of the Divine Mother of Haidakhan. When I presented them to our divine Master, he put the book on his head and started to dance, saying 'I am only a crow and do not deserve this beautiful script; when the swan will come, within your lifetime, then give it to Him.' Today his blessing and instruction are going to be fulfilled, when I will show this book to Lord Haidakhan." When he saw my manuscript and getting in this way such an immediate reply to his question, Mr. Vora was overjoyed. The Lord Himself then had a painting of the Divine Mother made by Mr. K.D. Tripati of Vrindavan, directing every detail of its execution. The events related above are the grace of the Supreme Goddess, the Divine Mother of Haidakhan and the manifested miracle of the divine incarnations of Lord Siva, in the Lord of Haidakhan. Vishnu Datta Mishra (Shastriji)
