Guest guest Posted May 7, 2004 Report Share Posted May 7, 2004 Divine Yoga Family, The weather is hot now, and we are in our summer schedule. The Ashram psyche is “on vacation” for one month from the intense Sadhana of our Yoga courses. Sharan is here undergoing the one-year course, and is kept busy in our City Centre. We are cleaning up and reorganizing. We celebrated Dr. Ananda’s 32nd birthday in a grand way. The night before, with a small intimate dinner party in a local hotel for our “close Yoga family”. The day of his birthday, April 16, he and his wife and child offered their “Puja” at the Samadhi of his Father – Guru Swamiji at Kambliswamy Madam. Then, from 6 pm at the City Centre, 300 young students aged 6 to 30 gave their felicitation in the form of greetings, presents, speeches, dances, songs and skits in his honour. Of course, there was also party food and two big birthday cakes. We had our own small family celebration as well in the Ashram. It is good to mark these “milestones.” It helps to define our lives and helps us also to see our purpose more clearly. The work on the books continues. We have our Annual May month long intensive at the City Centre coming up, and then, the big cultural extravaganza of our Annual Day when we put 300 young people on stage in June. Our Annual Dance Drama is staged in August. In June we also have many major Pujas. So the summer is also always a very busy time for us. The last three days here in Pondy have been truly amazing! After one month of incredibly hot weather, suddenly the sky cracked open and the rains fell in torrents. We are delirious with joy, as the poor earth was so parched and the plants so sorrowful. Now, all animals and plants are vibrating with Anandam. How great the Divine is! The earth is clean again, the air is fresh and the water will seep into the ground and fill our tanks and reservoirs. God is great! He has given us a beautiful role to play in his Cosmic drama, and provided us an excellent stage. May your Sadhana be Sahaj (natural) and Sukham (pleasant).
