Make a firm decision: 'Whatever happens, I will be happy. I will be strong. God is always with me.'

Children, we must cultivate reverence towards all great masters, monks and gurus.

If you have patience, then you'll also have love. Patience leads to love.

If we are not able to fix the Lord firmly in our hearts, even a lifetime of temple-going does not do us any good.

Deciding to chant the mantra a certain number of times daily will help foster the japa habit. We should always keep a rosary with us for doing japa. A rosary can be made of 108, 54, 27 or 18 beads of rudraksha, tulsi, crystal, sandalwood, gems, etc, with one 'guru bead'. We should resolve to chant a certain number of rosaries (rounds) daily.

May your thoughts, words and actions arise from love.

Children, if we can do archana of the 1000 Names of the Divine Mother daily with devotion, we will grow spiritually. There will never be lack of life's essentials, food and clothing, in a family that chants the 1000 Names with devotion.
