May we remember our beloved Swami Veda’s message: ‘If you love me, you will love each other.’
– Swami Ritavan Bharati at the September Board Meeting.
In September, summer ended with the autumnal equinox in the northern hemisphere, while winter ended with the vernal equinox in the southern hemisphere. Michael Kissener took this photo of summer beauty in Austria. “What beauty and grandeur a flower bestows!” Swami Rama wrote in Love Whispers, page 50.
Swami Ritavan’s series of articles “Is an Ashram for Me?” (part 3 in this issue) may inspire you to benefit from regular sadhana retreats at Swami Rama Sadhaka Grama (SRSG) as well as providing thoughts for strengthening sadhana where you are.
A Navaratra Devi-Puja, 9 sacred days dedicated to Divine Mother, was observed 21st - 29th September at SRSG. Geeta Sadhika wrote “Nava ratras puja at our ashram...Gurudev’s global family...and our Ammaji was there to bless us too...” Swami Veda had written, “These events are charged with special spiritual energy and a very special time to renew your silence and sadhana.” The next Navaratra Devi-Puja at SRSG is scheduled for 18th – 25th March 2018.
