Around Columbus
We went out to downtown, and drove via beautiful drive to A hindu temple (but it was closed) then we went to see a lake and around town. Sw ji enjoyed the greenery and water.
We had a dinner at an Indian restaurant. I slept at 3:45am. Had a talk with Conrad and it was a lot of work to do in the night.
Anand took us to Fry’s Electronics. Gazed at some electronics. Bought skype phone and other stuffs. Came back and had some lunch. Did packing and Chetna and Teertha and Maya came to see us off at Atlanta Airport. Those were touching moments to depart. I wonder why we have so good connection with some people. There must be some magic behind that or may be Osho is the connecting bond between us. It does not feel that we are guests at their place. It was like coming home. I’ll miss all the love and warmth.
The flight starting from Atlanta was a bit late and a bumpy ride. Small regional jet might be the cause. Will reach St. Louis and catch another flight to Columbus.
Reached Columbus at 10:15pm. Rakesh ji, Alpana didi and Reha came to receive us. Had dinner and talked for a while and slept late.
July 7.
I wake up late. But did fast and did a bit of dynamic, Sw ji also woke up . Made some lemon tea and started packing. We left for Teertha’s house at around 9:15am. It was an hour trip. The house was really great. Nicely furnished and good vibe.
We made some breakfast and tried some south delicacies.
Had a chance to talk about camp with Murali. He has sent me a brochure for the camp and it looks nice. We will be picking up Ganesh and Deepti up from BGSU to Chicago.
Joie and Goran were willing to take us to Swami Gyan Keerti’s place in South Carolina.
Sw ji had a chance to talk to him on phone.
We went to the Swami Narayan (BAPS) temple. Goran and his wife, Joie, Abha, Sudi and me went. The temple was huge and artistic.
We tried to go to the Botanical Gardens but it was closed for Sundays, bad luck for us. We then tried to go to an Indian Restaurant and it was closed too! So Finally we cam back home and Chetna prepared a wonderful meal. After that Sw ji slept and we talked.
Friends were to arrive in the evening for satsang. We had good satsang here. It was energetic. A lot of talk about Osho and his ways went on for hours. Sw ji talked about the meaning of Sannyas and answered some queries put forward by friends.
(Me and Anand) We did some recording and transfers. Slept at 4:30am, too late!. Chatted with Sudi and saw his basement, it was huge and good for meditation center and a meditation hall. Tomorrow we are going to Fry’s to get some stuffs for Tapoban and something for Sw ji.
Today, a friend again joined Osho Neo sannyas. The celebration was great. I really liked it. Sw ji and all talked till late night. The feeling of Gratitude was so overwhelming. We are going to Sudi’s place (Teertha and Chetna). We slept at 2am and then we plan to do dynamic meditation at 7 am. Friends in Atlanta have agreed to meet every weekend on Sundays (which was previously once a month) Sw Paritosh was very happy to welcome people for meditations.
Talked with Parimal Sw ji. It seems that Sw Narinder was ready to give the basement to him for a center. He was excited about the developments.
Things are going great.
