Guest guest Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Dear Group, Today was more of a 'normal' day for us. I rose before 5 AM and spent about an hour meditating with Arunachala. We then went to Ramanasramam to walk up the hill to Skandashram to listen to the morning chants. They are working on the inner chamber right now, so we had to sit outside and listen. The chanting is so good, and fills my heart with peace and love! But outside there are many more mosquitoes. We then wanted down the hill to Virupakshu to meditate, then back up the hill once more to Skandashram and back to Ramanasramam. Yesterday, at Brindavanam we tried something new. I got AC brought up to the roof, and got speakers for our computer. I set this up upstairs, brought up pictures of Ramana and Nome, and in the late afternoon listened to a satsang of Nome, sitting facing Arunachala. This was SO GOOD, hearing holy teaching and facing the holy hill! In the satsang Nome was talking about Arunachala and Dakshinamurthy, saying that they aere one and the same. So we listened to the silence of Dakshinmurthy as expressed by the silence of Arunachala. In Arunachala, Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Dear Rajesh, I am so glad that these accounts bring your heart back to Tiru (and Ramana and Arunachala). One thing we love about being here is that Arunachala and Ramana are never far from our hearts. Today we walked to satsang with Mooji. We like him, he is filled with love, and teaches inquiry in the fashion of Papaji. I really feel like he teaches more 'abidance' than inquiry, and I think this may be true of those in the Papaji 'line.' He certainly is good at bringing the kind of seekers you find in Tiru closer to the Self. Every day maybe 200 listen to him, most western, but a few Indians. I heard two days ago a middle aged Indian woman as " The bird has flown from the nest. " After this we had errands in town. I need more shirts, and my American chest is too big for premade Indian shirts. So I had to get fabric to take to the tailor. During the trip we asked our Driver, Rajan, to take us to lunch at a real local India place. He took us to a place he siad he had been going since it openned about 30 years ago. We had rice and samaber and some great greens, and a soraka dish (spelling), a squash gown locally, and popidum (spelling?). Lunch for three cost Rs 57.
