 Ma Puja Diana To whom it may concern: My name is Puja Diana, the name given to me by Bhagwan means "worship", celebration, celebrate life, enjoy it. This is an indication, and it’s the first one that the Master gave me in order to bring me closer to Him. He is giving me the most appropriate and right power to find the dimension to live life which, for me, was losing more and more sense. The (direction that my life was taking was pushing me more and more towards sadness and the wish to hold on. His presence helped me to see that I was going wrong; and it was not the words that teached me this -but the indescribable power of love. His presence was enough. He looked at me and a flower started growing in my heart that I had already believed was wilted. It was the water of the source, bubbling and fresh, that refreshed me. His silence proves precious to me like the peace of the mountains, from the windy and lonely hights where meditation is ruling. The mountains of Rajneeshpuram were as beautiful to me as He was - it is a wonderful piece of land and it is right that there are only wonderful things where the Master is. [signed] |
