Om In The Home®
"Honor Your Body, It's Your Permanent Address".....
"Durga" Sherri Levin Margolin
A message for Rosh Hashana and Yom Kippur 5771-5772.
I’d like to send my wishes this auspicious time of year for sweetness
and harmony in your world, both inner and outer. In Hebrew, the saying "La Shana Tova” literally means:
"for a good year." It’s
a greeting, a salutation used to bring in the Jewish New Year of Rosh Hashanah,
which symbolizes renewal. In
Sanskrit, a common salutation "Namaste”, acknowledges the divine in each
of us. The Hindu "Rams” is a
salutation, which signifies ultimate knowing in each other. All salutations send a message of
goodness and unity to all.
All cultures have salutations.
In Hawaiian "Aloha" is the "meeting and greeting of one's
spirit with another." At
other times, a chant, a sound will signify higher union. As in AUM, Om, the syllable, which
signifies the sound of the universe when in harmony. When the sound Om is chanted it encourages a clear and
awakened mind. We can shed all our
misperceptions that disconnect us from our source of happiness. The sound
gradually ignites the windows of the mind to open and know a more enlivened
state of being.
Our human culture, find these ways to welcome harmony in ours and each
other's lives either by ways of expressing salutations or by way of stimulating
the senses through sound, as in om, all meant to evoke and resonate oneness,
harmony, healing, and the understanding that we are all connected.
Om In The Home welcoming all things
that initiate that entrance to a harmonious awakened feels good state of body,
mind, and spirit.
My wishes, once again, for a good year and Om in your home to one
and all.

May there be peace between all nations.
