On this day , we went around New Jersey hill top where we could have a nice view of New York and surrounding areas.
We drove around Times Square and whole of the manhattan. We went to the Apple Store in 5th Avenue.
And then came back to House at around 9. Dinner was late at around 12:00. Me, Bhuwan, Bharati Didi chatted, sang and talked for some time. Slept at 4am. Sw ji was tired so we did not disturb him.
We have a program at Temple tomorrow and at buddhist Monastry for two days after that.
Sw ji was talking so highly about Osho Sambodhi Meditation center at London. We hope something like that will happen in US too. The Idea is being floated around and we will work on that.
Bhuwan ji had managed a 2 hours of stress management program at Empire State College (part of State university of New York.) Sw ji talked about stress management with more emphasis on meditation. We did 2 small meditations there. I enjoyed that.
We then went to Starbucks, had coffee and then went to Statue of Liberty. It was a ferry ride and about 2-3 hours in and around Liberty. We then went to Rubin Museum of Art (http://www.rmanyc.org/index.xml?context=/) and it was the most wonderful museum of art (a lot of Nepali Art) We met Adam (Palpali Dai) Who spoke very good Nepali and he was very interesting to talk to. Sw ji was delighted to see the place.
Anjan ji drove us back to home.
On 26th June We went to get Canadina Visa and it took more than 4 hours to get the visa, that was interesting. And then we went to have lunch at “Bombay Palace” – An Indian Restaurant.
We then went to UN building. Spent about 2 hours inside.
Sw ji is so inquisitive and keen to go around and ask questions. It was hell of a lot good time there.
We then came back to Bharati didi’s place and it was good dinner. We did a small meditation in the evening , humming and prayer, it was so good.
On 25june at about 7:00am. I and bhuwan sw ji went to receive Swami Arun at the JFK (terminal 4) via Aritran. The place was on time (AI 101). Sw ji came waving his hands and it was wonderful to see him here in the US. A new beginning of Meditation and Osho movement in US. We are lucky that we are the part of this wonderful experiment. We took a taxi to Bharati ji’s home.
Sw ji had lunch and slept for a long time till about 7-8pm. then we had some dinner and then he slept again. days are passing on so smoothly and so swiftly.
bhuwan sw ji cooks, i wash the dishes and chop vegetables. We are going to get canadian Visa tomorrow and may be see the UN. lucky me!
I departed to New York for the start of the month long meditation camps in US and Canada on 23rd June. It was a hectic journey (stopped at Cleveland, Pittsburgh and Philadelphia).
Came to Bhuwan’s Office and then took keys to get to his house.
Rested for a while and we went to meet Bharati Didi. She is so welcoming and warm. Feeling at home.
