HOW AND WHY

It all started in March 2005, in holy Hardwar. I was paying homage to the sacred mother, Ganga Mata. The divine mother not only activated my heart to write, but also graciously gave the title, Drops from the Ocean.

The ancient Hindu texts proclaim that when mother Ganga chose to descend from heaven to earth, in all her majesty and force, she was received in the locks of the disheveled, matted hair of Lord Siva. Her mighty flow disappeared inside it and not a drop could come out. The Lord, out of compassion to redeem suffering humanity from its sins, then permitted her to flow on earth. One drop was thus, let out of his hair. Hence, one of Mother Ganga’s names is Alakananda. What we now see as the huge flow of the Ganges, is just a drop from the Lord.

Lord Siva, Arunachala Siva, the Self, is the OCEAN.

Has not Bhagavan declared, “This is Arunachala, the ocean of grace”?

May Ganga Mata bless us all so that these drops penetrate into the Heart. May father Arunachala’s ocean of grace inundate each one’s Heart.
