Short MI update

[Guest guest]

Namah Shivayah to all

 

Just got back from the first MI program. It was very nice. The hall

is beautiful and the people at this hotel are SO welcoming and

helpful! In fact, the hotel manager even went up for darshan...that

is, of course, after he and his assistant garlanded Amma! So

friendly and helpful. Anyway, the bhajans were like a cool breeze --

just the kind of breeze that is blowing tonight here in snowy MI.

They were not the usual high-energy bhajans, but nice and soft and

cool.

 

One interesting personal story: There was a newcomer tonight who is

deaf. All night I was watching her, and she especially loved the

bhajans!! She was dancing in her chair and smiling. It was

heartwarming to see that even though she can't hear the music, she

still "gets" the bhajans. Beautiful!

 

I got an early darshan token and came home a bit early to prepare

for tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast. By Amma's grace...

 

It is purely by Amma's grace that this child survived the day, as

the traffic nearly killed me!! I was picking up devotees from the

airport, and it was very very congested. But, I got a great chanting

CD in return for a ride. Not a bad tradeoff is you ask me!

 

JAI MA

 

With love,

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
