God as Divine Mother: Wisdom and Inspiration for Love and Acceptance

God as Divine Mother: Wisdom and Inspiration for Love and Acceptance

Paramhansa Yogananda and Swami Kriyananda

"The role of the Divine Mother is to draw all Her children, all self-aware beings everywhere, back to oneness with God."-Paramhansa Yogananda

 For many of us, the image of God we grew-up with conjures more thoughts of judgment and condemnation than of loving acceptance.

"The Mother is closer than the Father. No matter what you do, She still loves you. She won't judge you. No matter who you are, She's your friend. She's on your side and will always forgive you."

In this book, you will discover:

• Who Is Divine Mother?
• How to Develop the Heart's Natural Love
• What Attitudes Draw Her Grace
• How to Tune in To Divine Mother

We long for a God who loves us exactly as we are, who doesn't judge us but rather helps and encourages us in achieving our highest potential. In this book, discover the teachings and inspirations on the Divine Mother from Paramhansa Yogananda, author of Autobiography of a Yogi.

Included also are over thirty poems and prayers dedicated to God in the form of Divine Mother, as well as original chants and songs by the authors. These teachings are universal: No matter your religious background, or lack thereof, you will find these messages of love and acceptance resonating on a soul-level. Included also are over thirty poems and prayers dedicated to God in the form of Divine Mother, and original chants and songs by the authors.

This book contains all that we need to know about awakening our heart’s love and expanding it through tuning in to Divine Mother. It is based on Yogananda’s teachings who referred to God as Divine Mother and said it is easier to establish a relation of mutual trust with the Divine Mother than with God in any other aspect. The book sheds further light on how all of nature that we behold is the Mother aspect of God. In nature we find beauty, gentleness and kindness. We feel a tenderness rise within us when we are seeing and feeling God in nature. Yet, in her highest manifestation even that beauty is formless.

"The book provides clarity on how we can establish a personal relationship with God as Divine Mother by raising our consciousness, being open to divine grace and offering our love and devotion. There are poems and prayer demands to Divine Mother that we can use. The book also contains chants and songs to Divine Mother, that can help us further awaken the love and devotion in our heart. What I also found extremely interesting and useful was to read and reflect on the attitudes that we can develop to draw Her grace, such as letting go of self-definitions, developing right attitudes, accepting who we are, having faith in our own goodness, responding with love when we are hurt and living according to our highest potential. There is another very interesting chapter in the book called ‘The Mother of Us All’, which includes a beautiful compilation of stories and excerpts about Divine Mother as Aum, as Mary the Mother of Jesus, about Kali the Hindu Goddess, Visions of Kali by Yogananda and Ram Proshad, about the great woman saint Ananda Moyi Ma and more. The reader will no doubt find tons of inspiration in this book to establish their own personal relationship with God as Divine Mother and live a life that reflects Her divine qualities." - By Nayantara
