Om Namo Bhagavate~Deva Premal

"Om Namoh Bhagavate Vasudevaya"

"Bowing, invoking, and surrendering to the Divine" as this chant translates  means recognizing and embracing the love of the heart that is our own divinity.  It means that as we realize our own purity we put an end to our negative actions that we direct to ourselves and others.  We stop misunderstanding others and realize where they are coming from and what they are about as we understand ourselves as well..We genuinely feel what they feel and reflect it back to them with real love and compassion. Our own heart then opens further when we do this.

Then we realize that we can be naturally authentic and accept and give true love to others as we learn to love ourselves.   When we are authentic we can be true to our heart.  For example, when we love someone, we can admit it to ourselves and calmly share and express that love to them and not hide from our real feelings.  When we are authentic, we can feel our feelings and be okay with ourselves and with others without playing mind games and so many other things we do to avoid really feeling our emotions.  Authenticity and inner honesty go hand in hand.

Bowing to the Divine means we realize what an illusion we have been living.  We no longer can ignore the heart and what we feel.  We cannot ignore the real and true purpose of our lives and we no longer can tolerate getting lost in childish toys, distractions, and trinkets along the way. We cannot ignore our own  knowing and intuition of what is really right for us as opposed to what others say is right for us. We see more and more how our own denial, rationalizations inside us and our projections onto others and other defenses keep us from knowing ourselves and sharing our Light with others.  We see how we hold back through our ego and not allow others to forgive us and how we do not forgive others and how we do not forgive ourselves.

We finally really take action in our lives to manifest what is true and real as we walk away from illusion and the mirages we have created.
