Rama and Sita lived in exile in the forest for years. Same old family problems, different day. They lived in the forest and encounterd many thrilling things, but ultimately Sita was kidnapped by a demon.

Back 10000 years ago when man spoke to animals, Hanuman was of selfless service to Rama when his woman, Sita was kidnapped by demons.

We chant "Sita Ram" and "Hanuman Chalisa" to remember all service is selfless, not transactional. Hanuman was enlisted to rally an Army to fight Ravana in a war, Rama almost died, but Hauman was able to save him, then Hanuman found Sita and rescued her from the Demon.

When Sita returned, Rama was confused as to whether or not he should trust that his wife was "true" to him, so she set herself on fire to prove to him she was true (or because she was so pissed of he doubted her "true").

Anyway, they both survived & went on to rule the kingdom and put together the very first "democracy" where people lived in freedom and loved each other. Critical in this living process is immediate forgiveness of self and others and self care and responsibility! I got just the reminders I needed.

Worship: show reverence and adoration . The true meaning of worship is to express profound respect, adoration, and devotion to someone or something considered supremely valuable or sacred, often through acts of reverence, praise, and obedience.

I don’t worship anything. However I do find lots of appreciation, love and respect for those who have live before me and left stories about how they overcame hardship.

Worship is an internal, intimate posture of the heart and can include outward expressions like bowing, prayer, songs of praise, or acts of submission and gratitude.

Religiously, It involves recognizing and honoring the worth and magnificence of a divine being, putting God first in one's life, and responding to God's nature and actions with one's entire being—mind, heart, soul, and will.

In Alcoholics Anonymous I understand there are many things that qualify as “power greater than self” but I am a heretic there too. I am just happy to be living a life not centered in my ego anymore.

I am happy and grateful that I can be of service to ending suffering on Earth. Suffering is optional, created by stories we tell ourselves from the past. I don’t do meditation the traditional way, I don’t worship meditation, I use it to be the kind of person I chose to be.
