Encountering the Infinite:
Meeting the Divine Mother in Nature…
“For small creatures such as we
the vastness is bearable
only through Love.”
~ Carl Sagan
“The Mother is creation itself. The mother always forgives.”
~ Paramhansa Yogananda
“Always have I loved thee!
Ever shall I love thee!”
~ Holy Mother Spirit
“All nature that we behold is the Mother aspect of God because in nature we find beauty, gentleness, and kindness. The flowers, birds, and the beauties of nature all speak of the Mother aspect of God—the creative, motherly instinct of God. When we look at all the good things in nature, we feel a tenderness rise within us; we can see and feel God in nature.”
~ Paramhansa Yogananda
“Whatever you do, try in every thought and action to express inner, divine inspiration. Visualize grace as flowing through you from AUM, the Holy Ghost, or Divine Mother.”
~ Swami Kriyananda
Ode to the Divine Mother:
“On the face of the earth there is no one more beautiful than You
Wherever I go I wear your image in my heart
Whenever I fall in a despondent mood I remember your image
And my spirit rises a thousand fold.”
Divine Feminine Prayer*
Mother of the Light, may you reign as a Goddess of Wisdom within my soul.
Be present for me now and in every moment of eternity.
Take my hand and lead me to the Birthing Light of God within me,
for there shall I find my purpose in life revealed.
Mother, greet me at the door,
embrace me in your loving countenance and smile gently upon me.
As your lost child, give me assurance that your grace is with me always.
All streams spring from the font of your heart.
Your eyes shine as the blue sea into my heart,
and you forever find me worthy of your love.
In the spirit of this revelation, I offer to reveal myself fully to you,
who is my Divine Feminine being, at all times and in all ways.
Amen.

We are dedicated to preserving it as a historic landmark and spiritual center despite the encroaching modern condos flooding our neighborhood. Thank you for helping us with these ways of service.
