THE
SONG OF MOTHER DIVINE
Sue Saraswati
Findhorn Press
ISBN 978 1 84409 149 2
'All her teaching is simple, straightforward, compassionate and full of
humour!' said the press release which accompanied the book. 'The Song of
Mother Divine' certainly lived up to the anticipated simplicity,
straightforwardness and compassion, although fortunately the humour - which
would have been out of place here - was absent.
This miniature book - about four inches square - is a joyous series of
affirmations about being loved, each affirmation accompanied by a mandala on
the facing page. 'Know only this,' it begins, 'Whoever I am, I am
loved...'
These are the wise and comforting words of the archetypal mother figure, who
is central to many spiritual paths and plays a key role in others. But
the book is not about religion, and does not specify who or what the 'Mother
Divine' might be, so it is possible for those of many faiths (or none) to
relax into the soothing words and flowing graphics.
The mandalas start with the simplest of geometrical figures centred on the Eye
of Horus, moving on to staggeringly complex designs incorporating flowers of
life, polygons and crystalline shapes, before gradually becoming plainer once
more as we focus on the very centre of it all. Here is sacred geometry
at its most accessible and its most relevant to our turbulent daily lives.
This is a book to carry in pocket, handbag or briefcase during difficult,
troubling times, a surprisingly deep and full well of reassurance, comfort and
calm. At moments when life's path seems to have vanished into a tangle
of brambles or left us poised precariously on top of a crumbling cliff without
a handhold (let alone a rope ladder or a parachute), this little scrap of a
book will see us through.
It would be a super gift for someone you love. But don't forget to get
one for yourself, too. After all, 'whoever you are - you are loved.'

The text for the book appeared very suddenly, following an unexpected connection I experienced with the energy force that is Mother Divine ......More.
I had been using the text for some time, always aware that it was waiting for the addition of artwork. But where was this to come from? Then the blindingly obvious finally occurred to me ......More.
There is no ‘right’ way to use this book. However I do have a few suggestions that you may find helpful, whether you are using it alone or as a part of a group ......More.
