Dear friends,

... Many questions came to mind after the fire (a guesthouse at a holy place was burnt down, UPP) and there was a period of intense Swadhyaya. I felt the answers would come, but slowly, being revealed step by step. This is how it happened. On December 28^th I sat in meditation one afternoon and asked for answers. What came was from Shree Gajanan Maharaj. He said there was nothing that could be done to stop the fire. It wasn’t caused by anyone outside. Then He said “FROM THE ASHES RISES THE PHOENIX. All great blessings be upon you now. We have removed the obstacle before you. You will rise now.”

That evening J. came home with the post. There was a sweet letter from a woman who does Agnihotra in the west of Poland. One of the things she wrote was “FROM THE ASHES, THE PHOENIX WILL RISE...” The second reference.

O.  had suggested that I ask for a reading from a friend who does that sort of thing and I had requested it in reference to the fire, so as to understand the whys. The answer arrived via telephone through another friend who called a couple days after the message I had received in meditation. The reading confirmed it all. Here is an excerpt from the reading:

“The fire was a total purification offered by nature to burn all karmas between family and all living there. There was nothing negative from outside. There was nothing that anyone could do to stop the fire from happening. THE PHOENIX RISES OUT OF THE ASHES TO BEGIN AGAIN. The process starting now for whole family is to reconstruct and restructure their lives and help to recreate everything in a more beautiful way than before.  Everything is all right now, totally purified.”

The reason I wanted to share all this with all of you is because it brought up everyone’s insecurities and doubts in the spiritual journey. But this happening is strengthening us and bringing us closer to the Divine.  When there is nowhere else to turn, one turns within. We are truly never alone. We are so supported, not only by each other, but by forces greater than our little selves. And it is those forces which shall unite us, and that time is now.

Again, we want to thank so many people for their kindness, concern and love. We are one family. We are so ONE we do not even realize how much.  Thank you to the people who have written asking for healings, because the healings are just what we need, too. They keep us connected to the Light and fulfill us in a way that can’t be described. So, we are grateful for every opportunity to serve.

There is no reason to doubt the love of the Divine, which is totally unconditional. We do not need to place conditions on the Divine. Allow your souls to be open to the Light. It is the purification we all need.

With all love,
P. and family

 MESSAGE FROM SHREE VASANT

 We have to warn the people in New York City and these other cities of U.S  Another place possibily targeted
is NORFOLK, VA. People are not likely to consider moving but it is wiser to live outside of the cities and still do all the
fires and help the people.

 Now those of our people, i.e., people who  practice Agnihotra fire who are now in larger cities of U.S., have to take
precautions. Yes, Maharaj Shree protects them. Still New York is going to be more dangerous now. 
Washington, D.C., Boston, Massachusetts. 
More people practicing Agnihotra healing fires are required there.
Also Miami. There is urgent need for more people practicing Agnihotra in
Los Angeles and Chicago. Also our people can go there
for that purpose and LIVE OUTSIDE THE MAIN METROPOLITAN AREAS.

It is not only terrorism but also that  natural disasters have been predicted, PARTICULARLY IN COASTAL AREAS.
 If focus is on airline security and at airports, then, of course, terrorists will move to
another area where focus is less. They will not continue focusing only on
airport airplanes. Next targets will be as well devasting if they are not stopped.

Now, as our work goes more on subtle level, it follows that those near rise more into power. By power we mean
higher awarness simply. The Master Shree Gajanan Maharaj can utilize the few people who do HIS work.
All these days, when this was told the response was, "How can a small number of people do all the work?"
 Now, as we move more and more into the subtle realms, so our people also begin to work with these subtle energies.

 As you become  more subtle, your physical needs also change, in terms of food, for example.  Also at this
point cleanliness becomes more important.  Food becomes fuel only as desires
fall away.  Needs for this "fuel" change and one eats less and lighter as one advances.
Then a stage is reached where nothing is required but the body takes food only almost symbolically.

 All of you will become more sensitive to vibrations.
You have to move among many people where you can not always dictate the
situation. Still, stay in places  that are clean, wear clean clothes, shower every day,
 keep discipline clothing for Agnihotra healing temples,  plus 4 A.M.
Mantras. As you become subtler, all these "I need"  "I want",  become less.
