Made In India pt. 4
Hello 🙂
🕉 Om Amriteswaryai Namah 🕉
“The current situation the world is facing is not under our control. But there is one thing we can always keep in check – our mental attitude. Let us be strong and optimistic. To do this, we should focus on the Eternal. We should hold tightly to the feet of Paramatma. This steadfast faith and focus on the Paramatma can lift us beyond all kinds of limitations.” ~ Amma

The next Free Online Group Healing is tomorrow Friday 5th June @ 2pm London time. If you feel drawn to do so, please let your friends / fam / etc. know by sharing this link with them. Please book your place if you can remain on Zoom for the duration (1hr) in a quiet space free from distractions. Thank you🙏
I have had a couple of queries about this, so just by way of explanation – yes, I usually start the Groups 10 minutes early. It allows people time to arrive and allows me time to read from awakening books to you all. You are welcome to arrive early, but absolutely fine if you can’t or don’t wish to.
Before leaving Amritapuri in February, I was asked to join a Pilgrimage of North India. I gladly did so, having known very little of the country except for my visits to see Amma in Kerala. The idea was to visit the sacred sites of North India with a Group of (mainly) German and Swiss spiritual types, singing kirtan together along the way.

We travelled to the Haridwar area to stay at Santosh Puri ashram, where the atmosphere was truly spectacular… Imagine an area of the world where for thousands of years people have been performing Pujas and other devotional ceremonies, calling out to the Divine and surrendering to That. I think of all the places we visited on the Pilgrimage, that area – and especially that ashram – were my favourites. The history of this ashram is that, during the freedom of the 1960s, a woman visited the Guru there from Germany. She was so moved by the Truth she felt, that she threw both her passport and her visa straight into the nearby Ganga river! She never left India again for the following 45 years. She married the Guru and thus became the other Guru of Santosh Puri. The Gurus had 3 children, who now take care of the ashram and its visitors with utmost care, love and devotion. Check out the duni fire (sacred fire-pit), which has been burning continuously since my birth year of 1978 :-

The routine and vibe were so wonderful at Santosh Puri, I felt I could have stayed there for months. A lot of the time I was wandering around in Bliss…the whole thing was so profoundly embodying and nourishing. We would rise at 3 30am, have a cold bucket shower (out of respect for the sadhana we were about to do) and sit by the fire in silent meditation. There was pin-drop silence… After half an hour, the Arati would begin complete with chanting, rituals and bhajans honouring the Ganga river, which is experienced as an embodiment of Divinity. It was mesmerising… I feel that there is no replacement for real, applied, traditional Indian sadhana. It creates a unique devotional connection to the Divine, through illiciting that inner longing for God in every human heart : the bridge to God-realisation. During this stop on the Pilgrimage, I was asked to be the Healer for the Group, which I happily accepted 🙂 It was an incredibly powerful experience and I feel I gave some of my best sessions ever as a result.
I had the opportunity to bathe in the Ganga river for the first time, which I readily took up. We all walked down in a little group from Santosh Puri and prepared ourselves on the banks. The whole vibe was so right… Local Indians were playing in the water, the atmosphere was peaceful and the Divinity was palpable. I submerged myself clothed (as is the tradition), prayed, got my head right underwater and let go… When I surfaced, at first I didn’t think much had happened. But when I left the river to change, I stopped in my tracks recognising that something had completely left me. To this day, I don’t know what it was. Perhaps it was bad karma, perhaps resistance to the process of life, who knows..? I just know that something left and never came back.
While at Santosh Puri, we also celebrated the day of Holi – the festival of colours, joy, unity, forgiveness and new beginnings 🙂
