The Lantern Farm

A beautiful farm with a gorgeous hay field...a home...a gathering place around a fire, in celebration of life, love and loss as a community family.

Happy Ganesh Chaturthi…

We welcomed new beginnings at the farm today.
Kids went back to school and we welcomed Ganpathi.

Yearly tradition to find strength to start new and learn ways to work through obstacles. Helps develop strategy and strength for the mind to live through our daily journeys.

We bring him blindfolded so he does not know the way to our home and we take him back on the 10th day and deliver him to the river…we acknowledge that everything is a passage. Learning to hold and let go.

We are celebrating goddesses at the farm…9 nights and 10 days. Exemplifying the forms of Durga/Devi or womanhood in simplest way to grasp the context. As women we draw on all our gunas which manifest as anger, love, hurt, compassion, revenge, perseverance and beyond. Together with all our gunas, in balance we fight evil and emerge victorious.

Durga Puja celebrates the creation, battle and victory of Goddess Durga.

Navratri is also the celebration of the three gunas – Tamas, Rajas and Sattva that are symbolised by Durga and her many forms but essentially by Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati respectively.

The gunas are responsible for our behaviour. Every being in this creation is caught in the play of gunas. ‘Tamas’ is ignorance or inertia. When Tamas is not in balance, we experience delusion, misunderstanding and dullness. ‘Rajas’ is activity, greed or desire. When Rajas trait dominates our personality, we feel restless, we are extremely greedy for money, and we have too many desires to accomplish. As a result, we either feel very excited or extremely low. Sattva is transcendence. Sattva is dominating in our environment or in our body when we feel light, happy, pleasant, alert and awake, and our perception is clear.

I call upon every woman reading this to believe and practice the thought: ‘I’m Durga’. I feel empowered to face my smallest to biggest problems with wisdom and ease. It’s important to tell ourselves, as much as possible: “I’m not a powerless, submissive woman, I’m Durga. I have all the necessary ‘weapons’ and now I can fight. I’m strong, intelligent, worthy. I can look at things rationally, be decisive, solve my problems objectively, at the same time fight my battles fearlessly, my emotional battles with grace while retaining the feminine qualities of motherly love, forgiveness, compassion, patience and dignity.”

Love from our family to yours…on the last day we all join in music, dance and celebration of failures and victories.

Happy guru Purnima.

Hope you enjoyed the beautiful moon that embraced us just a bit ago reminding us of the care and comfort and Tough-love that we have received in our lives from all our teachers in every walk. This is a day dedicated to everyone who has offered some bit of their own story in the form of a teaching for others to embrace and grow.

On this day I offer my gratitude and my prayers to all the teachers who have come before me all the teachers will come after me and all of them who have allowed me on occasion to take the seat off a teacher for some other. Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. There is yet so much to learn and embrace in this life and I am so grateful for the community and for the love that cares for us and loves us and guides us…

Namaskaram,

Laxmi

PS: I am still healing from my hand surgery and have another one on Monday. Taking this time to find my inner strength to meet my physical strength so I can hold space for others yet again. Thank you for your kind words and for all your prayers. Love and so much more love sending your way.

Using voice dictation so please excuse any typos.
