Namaste,
A new year has arrived and with it a time to reflect on all we are grateful for.  We have our deepest gratitude to our Ma and Baba who continue to grace us with so many blessings and to you, our Kashi family, near and far, for the support, love, kindness and generosity you have shown.  Thank you for all you do to make the world and Kashi a better place, for your open hearts and acts of service.  Wishing you all the very best in this upcoming year!

With Warm Regards,
All of us at Kashi Ashram

 A Very Special Guest
KK Visits Kashi

 

In November, KK came for a visit to Kashi Ashram here in Florida. Krishna Kumar Sah, KK, grew up at the feet of his beloved guru Neem Karoli Baba. KK loved kirtan.  Baba would ask him to play for Him as well as for others. 

It was in 1977 that Ma met KK in India. As the years passed, we have kept in touch and he became a part of our family.  

When KK arrived here on our sacred grounds, we felt transported to a very familiar and ancient time. This kind and gentle soul opened our hearts and brought us Baba.

KK walked around our Ganga and blessed our many temples. We clamored to sit with KK and listen to his stories and his kirtan. We had satsang together, we sang together and the love was palpable.

As KK made ready the next morning to continue his travels, tears flowed as we said our goodbyes. KK's visit has opened us and his love lives in our hearts.

May he be well and healthy as he brings Maharaji to everyone he visits.

And not to forget, we wait for his return.

We love you KK.

From Yashoda 
I have set my intention to ask that you return to Kashi. Set a date and make time to come home and feel the love of the Mother fill your heart.  As you step on these sacred grounds, you will be in the arms of the Mother and the love that fills and holds you tightly.

Many changes are happening. Some of our younger generation have moved home and even those that live afar are invested in Kashi's future.  We have goats and chickens, vegetable gardens and fruit trees everywhere.  The temples are shining and music flows out of the Hanuman Temple.  We are graced with satsang, reminding us, filling us and bringing our spiritual family together.
 
This April 10th thru the 12th is Ma's Mahasamadhi weekend.  As we circumambulate the Ganga and all the temples, we are given gifts and offerings and are renewed.  There are many times of the year to come home.  Remember, we wait for you.  You are us.  You are family.  Make your way to Kashi and as we tread the path of change, please join us, We must always remember to share and give of the light we have been given.  She lives here you know.
Love you guys.  I want those hugs.
A Moment From MA

"In the quiet of meditation, you can bring God out of the recesses of  your heart. It is not that God is hidden, it is that you need the light of meditation to see God always there for you.  You need the awareness of the breath to always feel  God there for you."

Ma Sodashi and Sunanda Get Legally Married
Ma Sodashi and Sunanda have been together for 14 years. Marriage was never a legal option for them, as same-sex couples have always been denied the right to be able to legally marry. On Tuesday, January 6th, 2015, Florida made history as the 36th State to grant marriage equality, and to allow ALL couples to marry, regardless of their sexual orientation.
Ma Sodashi  and Sunanda applied for a marriage license on Tuesday, January 6th in Sebastian, Florida. They were the 4th same-sex couple to apply, and  were married in a very simple, quiet ceremony on Kashi Ashram, under the skies of the home they love, and  in the presence of their Guru, Ma Jaya.

A man is talking to God. "God, how long is a million years?" God answers, "To me, it's about a minute." "God, how much is a million dollars?" "To me, it's a penny." "God, may I have a penny?" "Wait a minute."
