LESSONS OF THE DAY:

1) Baba: Pradosham
Today is the 13th Moon. In Sanskrit, the day is known as Pradosham (prah-DOH-shum) . On this day, there is a
special doorway of opportunity for removing our negative thoughts and habits, also known as "karma". As we empty
ourselves of old habits and predispositions, our karmas, we make room for new possibilities!

Little Siddha in Training

“Love one another unconditionally and you will be Enlightened.” Baba

From Swami Sita's Poem - Re: Moon

... The Moon is the most important planet to look at, how healthy is the Moon,
Is how healthy you are. Moon should not be depressed, oppressed, dark, over sensitive and
edgy, not frustrated or angry, not surrounded by malefics, not delusional, compulsive and crazy,
not isolated alone, not overwhelmed by emotions, but open to receive good influences, capable
of transmit God’s will
and perceive Dharma and Truth.
