To Jorge: Brazil community in Orkut

[Guest guest]

Namaste Jorge: Thanks for spreading Maa's love to Brazil. This is so

wonderful that you have a group of devotees to join in satsunga.

Please post the name and a link to the web address for the club on

Orkut and I will be happy to join in. I am sure others will post there

too.

Are there many devotees who come to the satsunga? Do you tune into

the Mandir web casts? What do you do at the satsunga?

God bless and Jai Ma Jai Swami

Namaste Vishweshwar,

 

The meetings have been performed since 2005, but formerly we had no

property of our own and the meetings were realized in a Yoga Club

that was made available by the devotee Jorge Oliveira. Now the

meetings happen in a commercial room that I use to teach English and

Sanskrit downtown Rio de Janeiro. The link to the community in Orkut

website was already sent in former message:

http://www.orkut.com.br/Community.aspx?cmm=44366434

 

We have about 150 members in all groups we keep in

and Orkut but most of them don't live in Rio de Janeiro city so we

have about half a dozen people that attend Satsangas regurlarly.

 

All Satsangas start with Shree Maa and Swamiji's videos and a short

presentation of them, I usually translate the videos because most

Brazilians are not acquainted to English. Then we read and talk

about the sadhana we're going to train that meeting and solve

eventual doubts. The last part is the actual performance of the

sadhana and sharing the prasada. On July's meeting we

practiced " Navarna Mantra Viddhi " together. The idea is that people

may take what they have learnt and practiced in the group to their

homes.

 

Jaya Maa, May Mother Kali bless us
