Dear Bhooshanpriya ji

Greetings

 

We are back from India sooner then we had planned.From Delhi we went

to Hardwar and Rishikesh but could not participate much even in the

ongoing worship etc. due to ill health. Greg kept having all kinds of

health problems. Part of it could be psychological. I had hoped to

spend extendeed time and also find some suitable place for future

extended stays. For me it was kind of sad. Auspicious navratri season

and we were in the holy places and still limited. It was like sitting

by the holy Ganges and not being able to dip in and quench the thirst.

Now we are back in USA.

I would very much appreciate your advice and guidance re. the future

course if possible. In this life time India is going to be a dream

only it seems. With the advanced age and realty limitations of the

physical body I have to come to terms with what is feasible.

The question is should we continue to stay where we are and settle

down. or make an earnest effort to relocate at least closer to where

there is some contact with the Vedanta and Hindu spiritual

organizations,both my children are there and also climate is much

better. That would be mostly West- little South from here. But here I

own this house. There it is much more expensive and it is important to

have some security of having a place of your your own.

So basically the question is: Is a relocation indicated and possible

and would that move be a positive one? If indications for such are

there then would you suggest some upayas,that cn be done here, to help

with that matter. More then anything else I just want to dive deeper

in my spiritual practices and have peace of mind. I want to wind up

all these mundane distractions and just settle down. Spiritual

atmosphere in the Rishkesh ashrama was so uplifting and conducive!

Anyway Sadhana has to be done by oneself. San Francisco area where I

have lived for some years in the past is one of the places where in

the past I have had some very good meditations and spiritual

upliftment. I was very closely associated with a Vedanta organization

there and had holy company. Both the children also live in that area.

It may be a good idea to be closer to them in view of advanced age.

 

With respectful regards and all good wishes
