Prashanti

Just back, after a wonderful period at Prashanti. Elevating daily routine - early mornings under the meditation tree and going twice daily for darshan. Although on most days Swami did not come for the morning dharshan. A lot of gayatri chanting. Joyful chanting along, whenever vedas were chanted - thanks are due to Bro Siva.

The food - simple and healthy. And of course, catching up on sleep. And the blogs. Almost everyday there would be some germ of a blog idea.

The amazing thing was - during the week long stay, I met only 1 person I knew! Suhu. And being the reclusive I am, I met just 2 new people!

An unforgettable experience was with the sevadal who manned the telephone booth. He forgot to speak softly and lovingly, and shouted violently at a poor Colombian woman, while many of us watched helplessly. Being the silent witness in this case took some effort, and I am sure had some sadhana value.
