Adventure: India -- from Swamiji

[Guest guest]

Earlier Swamiji wrote about their travel plans.

 

" We will be back in Delhi by Tuesday, and will be in Rishikesh on

Thursday. We will move back into the house we just recently vacated, and

see how Shree Maa likes the weather and atmosphere. If it is too hot

during the day, we will continue up the mountain, first to Uttarkashi

and then to Gangotri. "

 

Today Swamiji sent a map and wrote, " This map shows Rishikesh,

Uttarkashi, Yamunotri and Gangotri. We will leave tomorrow for

Rishikesh. "

 

I ordered a travel map and a guide to India so that I can follow along

with Maa and Swamiji and learn about India. My materials should arrive

tomorrow. I am excited. Learning about where Maa and Swamiji and then

imagining the joy they are bringing to so many people makes me miss them

less.

 

Jai Maa! Jai Swamiji!

Namaste Karen,

 

it is very good to hear Swamiji and Shree Maa are well and travelling in India.

As the webcams and my computer do not get along too well, it is difficult to

follow the happenings at the Devi Mandir, but I did get a still frame showing a

very empty place at the fire...

I did wonder and worry about their whereabouts and wellfare, so I'm very happy

Swamiji asked you to post some of his travelling blog,

 

with love,

Henny
