One Year Anniversary in Pune

by Dr. Shirin Venkat

JAI GURUDEV!

Beloved Baba*,

It is with a bubbling joy I submit my report at your lotus feet today - we have completed one year of conducting meditation classes at the Pune center and we had a little celebration at AMMA’ s residence.

We started with Guru vandana, then 10 minutes of conducted meditation followed by a small explanation of the meaning of the Gayatri Mantra and Her special importance in pregnancy as taught by Swami Veda Bharati.

After this the young mothers Smt. Alika Kohli and Smt. Kalpana Patel shared their experience of joining the Wednesday classes during pregnancy both also expressed their desire to continue coming. Then the mothers-to-be spoke Smt. Ellonaore*. Smt. Supreeti and Smt. Priyanka shared their love and interest in continuing to meditate and how they look forward to coming on Wednesday and enjoy peace when they share the group energy and hear Swamiji s voice saying- “ Relax your forehead………”

The book Living with the Himalayan Masters was bought by the young ladies.

The fathers-to-be are anxiously looking forward to join the Shibir to be held on 14th  - 16th  September 2012 which is the forthcoming event at the Pune center of Himalayan Yoga and Meditation  as taught by Swami Rama.

You are present in this humble home happy to encourage all gathered.

Love and charansparsh.

Aapki beti,

Shirin

*Swami Rama

*Smt Ellonaore is a Belgian lady, an eager student.
