Guest guest Posted December 19, 2003 Report Share Posted December 19, 2003 Jai Ma! Hello, my name is Leon. I visited the ashraam once about six, maybe seven years ago with two friends. I enjoyed the visit and the memory has stayed with me. We met Shree Ma briefly, and she asked a simple question that started a re-evaluation of my life. She asked if we were looking for peace. She caught me off guard, I suppose I'd never really considered it. That question helped change my direction in life. Thank you Maa. I enjoy all of your posts. I thought I'd read the archives from the beginning, but you folks are so active I've given up on that. I just read what comes in every day now. I'm really, really glad I found this group! Thank you, Namaste. With Love, Leon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
