Satsangs have to be managed, and the responsibilities have to be delegated,

re-delegated and most of all presented at the feet of the guru...we are

managing here in

Michigan, it is TOUGH sometimes and we surrender to Amma.

 

 

Dear Omenka ~ Queen Bees aside for the moment, I wanted to thank you for

posting information about your experience with the Michigan satsang. We are

trying to get a satsang going here in Silver City (NM) (only 6 of us) and

everything that people have written about their own experiences with all aspects

of

satsang have been very helpful to me. Sometimes Queen Bees rise in the

absence of people really wanting to help out, so one of two people end up doing

all

the work. This is quite common in volunteer groups of all kinds, in my

experience. So you comments about delegation are very much appreciated.

 

I think our group will be surprised when I tell them, well, yes, I was the

instigator of all of this, but I am ill, and while I can help in various ways,

I'm not sure I can be the group's coordinator. Right now we are considering

ideas such as rotating the coordinator position. But since we are very small

and only beginning it will be an evolutionary process, for the group and for

us. Just the other day, I received a "goody box" from the Santa Fe Ashram with

videos for our group to watch (on loan), fliers about Amma, catalogs for

Amma's store, etc. I was so excited. Now we just have to set the date for our

first meeting.

 

Again, many thanks. Jai Ma ~ Linda
