4: Jeevan Pravah, Life’s Journey

Preaching to the fetus in mother’s womb Mother’s Duties  Practical dealings
Mother’s milk  Child’s Enlightenment from Mother’s Milk
For the benefit of all…   Guru Knowledge.   Human birth
The devotion filled journey of life   Stepping into the Third Phase of life Confluence of Wealth

Dialogue

Indrani:
but mother Mahalakshmi, in the fulfilment of a
mother's duty. What is the role of 'bhakti', devotion ?

Mahalaxmi:
Oh! dear. It is 'bhaktimay jeevan', life filledwith devotion. For peace
of mind, and for progress to take place in the spiritual aspects of life, every
woman should lead a life that is 'Bhakti Pravahi', flowing with devotion.

Ulka and Indrani:
'Bhakti Pravahi' , what does that mean?

Mahalaxmi:

Song 9 :

Bhaktimay –Jeven Pravah
The devotion filled journey of life

My first verse dear
Is about the loving childhood
From playing-house to first lisping
I remember my loving God good. ||1||

My second verse dear
Is about 'Love' in youthful emotion,
While I enjoy marital bliss
I remember my loving God with devotion ||2||

My third verse dear
Is about the inkling of motherhood
My life-mission as a women is fulfilled
I remember my loving God good. ||3||

My fourth verse dear
Is about middle-age wisdom
Amidst 'Karma' 1 , 'Dharma'2 and 'Sanskar' 3
I remember my loving God with devotion. ||4||

My parting verse dear
Is about the mystery beyond life's ocean,
I shall prevail on myself like the 'LOTUS'
And always remember my loving God with devotion ||5||
