Guest guest Posted February 21, 2006 Report Share Posted February 21, 2006 Hi. I have been a member of this group for a while but up until now have just been watching. I would just like to share with the group that last Saturday (18th), Sunday and Monday we have had the pleasure of the company of Swami Ramakrishnananda Puri here in Melbourne Australia. Saturday Night we had a public program in the reading room of the Fitzroy Town Hall which was attended by ( I would guess) 150-200 people. Not too bad for Melbourne. Anyway it filled up the room. Swami gave a delightful talk and we sang bhajans for a while, followed by a supper and Swamiji giving out prasad. On Sunday we had a day retreat in the same venue. Not quite as many people but it was a wonderful day. We had a couple of sessions of meditation, another talk by Swami, sang more bhajans, watched a dvd about Amma's response to the tsunami, and had a question and answer session. Then, on Monday night we had a satsang at a devotees house in one of the outer suburbs which was again very well attended. It was such a pleasure to have Swami here. From Melbourne he goes to a few other cities in Australia and then to New Zealand, I think for the first time. He reminded us that Amma will be here in about seven weeks, and we are gearing up. We can hardly wait. I hope all my brothers and sisters in Amma are well, and maybe some of you will be able to come to Australia in April. Om Namah Shivaya, Chocatane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
