One for the road.

Hello Folks,
                 This is me ,again. I got a 5 year work experience certificate of appreciation, a couple of weeks back,from my company, which made me very happy. That is awesome. Besides that Im still following the spiritual path. One of the articles I read, mentioned how you can judge your progress in spirituality. It says the less thoughts you have, the better it is and that you have progressed in spirituality. I should start meditating as I dont do any meditation nowadays.
            My sadhana or spiritual practice consists of waking up, and chanting the ashtotharam( 108 names of amma ) , the lalitha sahasranamam and then the mahisasura mardhini.This takes about 45-50 minutes.Then I chant my mantra, 500 times,then pray to God shiva and god hanumanji.This is all in the morning. This energizes me and makes me positive during most of the day. The problem is in the evenings and night time. I feel that I have less energy and less divine energy in me , during those times . So I decided to chant the mantra 500 times in the evenings again. Before I go to sleep I pray for all the people, I care about , chant the mantra 500 times and then say some small prayers .
       I have also started trying to lose some weight ,because I am obese.Today I am planning on going for ammas darshan. Today is the last day of darshan , as Amma is going on the U.S. tour. She starts of by going to Japan, then reaches seattle,washington for the start of the 2 month long tour.
        I have continuously been attending amma's bhajans and feel a lot of changes in me. Its taken a while,but I have , at last , started on the road to recovery.These anti-depressants are really bad for me. Ive put on a ton of weight .I have to reduce , and I have started dieting and exercising.
