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.
Day began with Dynamic. then sw ji talked about Osho and his days with Osho. We loved that. I am trying to record everything in Audio. Then we did Natraj meditation. and then came back for Kundalini. Today there was sannyas. Sudi and Nimmi, Sankalpa and maa ji took sannyas. It was a great celebration. Osho’s evergy was so wonderful. Everybody could feel that. Even the dumb ass like me could feel something.
Things are happening wonderfully.
camp started with about 15 people. We started with Dynamic (a bit late), Stop meditation, Kundalini and then the evening satsang. I did Dynamic after 10 months and sw ji after 10 days. It was so great. Sw ji was happy too. Celebration and meditation day long. Everything was relaxing.
The sleep was deep and wonderful yesterday. Paritosh and maa ji are really great. Food is good too.
Sw ji is happy above all. The camp is going wonderful for me 🙂 , unbelievable.
Narinder came to pick us up for the Airport. We had big luggages, had some small problem in the Airport but the flight arrived before time. Paritosh/Rohit and Vedika came to pick us up at Atlanta international airport (Huge airport)
We arrived home in an hour, house was wonderful. Wonderful people. Sudi and Nimmi also came and we talked for a while. Camp starts from tomorrow.
Narinder took us to drive and to east west book store in 78 5th Avenue. A wonderful meditative space/bookstore. We talked with the store keeper for a while and then we met the owner of the bookstore, a lady named —- , She was the disciple of Swami Rama. We tralked about Sw Rama and sw ji had some good stories to share with her. She showed us around the bookstore, the yoga studio. It was a wonderful space. Sw ji bought a book on Yogananda.
We went back to Narinder’s place hand late lunch and then in the night maa ji of Narinder came to house for sannyas. It was nice celebration. We are going to atlanta tomorrow.
Narinder decided to take sannyas, again the temple authority made it late. The sannyas was beautiful. Bharati di was also there. We thenw ent to Narinder ji’s house and then had dinner there. He drove us to house and then around Manhattan and Brooklyn bridge It was beautiful. Programs are finished in NY. Tomorrow we plann to go to EastWest Book store and see if we have luck with something.
The program was slated to start at around 6:30 but it ended up being started at around 7:45. But things happen. A Ma Ji named Mangala (a long time Osho Sannyasin) came there and we talked about Osho. Jagdish ji, Manjit ji were there.
We had scheduled a satsang at Satyanarayan Temple in Elmhurst on June 30th. The program started at 3:30 and lasted till 7:30. Program started with few friends and people added up and there were about 30 people in the satsang. We did kirtan, humming and listened to Osho Discourse.
Then after a short break, we did Kundalini meditation. That was the most wonderful Kundalini meditation after a long time. People were hesitating, may be due to the familiarity with friends, but I enjoyed a lot at that point. It was great.
Then we did a small break and then Babita Ma took sannyas. Bhuwan sw ji and I helped with that. It was a good environment and milieu and lot of love from Sw ji.
Then we went to buy some vegetables from “Subji mandi” on Gown and shopped for some veggies and other stuffs. Slept late at night after talking with sw ji. It was a great day.
After the satsang, we waited for the Aarati to complete. When sw ji talked to Pandit ji, I was surprised with what the Pundit ji said. “I have 1 big fortune and 1 big misfortune – the fortune is that I was born in the time of Osho and the misfortune is that I could not meet him.” He was willing to help for next events in the temple.
Next day we are having 2 days satsang at Thai Buddha Vihar.
Ps: Bharati didi had invited Mr Som and his wife for Dinner yesterday. After Some talk, it was the Somnath Sir who used to teach us Chemistry when we were in class 6!
How small the world is?
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.
