mahal, isangmahal, isanghamahal

inthelight asks me about my thoughts on the tagalog word "mahal"...

isangmahal i feel comes from the filipino american
poet-warrior-lover-saints' efforts to express the
beauty of feeling true connection, harmony and
community, to express kasama (brotherhood and sisterhood), power and healing
through love, friendship and a sense of oneness with
all.

mahal is the root word for love in tagalog
sister auspicious carries the dharma of
seeing the connections through all things
so in response to your request, this mayB auspicious
because this morning, i bought a book on mantras and
am currently reading and listening to one of them
as i write this to you, i re-read the section where each
of the seed-syllables of the mantras is explained in
depth.

in the sanskrit tradition:
"MAHA" - as in mahabodhisattva, mahayana, etc.
a salutation that means both "great" and "heart centered"

mahal.
isangmahal.
isanghamahal.
