Meditation

Back from a different time zone


Back from Bangalore, where weather now blows hot and cold, I have indeed brought some silence from the Chakra Meditation programme by Swami Akshara and hopefully some clouds and rain to a thirsty Chennai.
The journey to Bangalore by the Tamil Nadu Government bus was yet another bus journey, but my return by the Karnataka State Transport's Volvo was an experience that helped me maintain the silence of meditation. The journey began with a Kannada song playing on the stereo and the cradled air-cushion comfort of the bus woke me up only when we touched down (well it was almost like a flight journey!) Koyambedu Bus Stand at Chennai where the same stereo played a Tamil song. Thank you Germany for the Volvo. Thank you all the lovely volunteers of Akshara Foundations, Bangalore for the warmth and love they showered. And thank you Swami Akshara for giving me the experience of the timeless as I shuttled between two time and geographical zones.

Hi Swahilya,

Seems u had a great session at B'lore and fresh as ever. Would like to hear more from you and how about some pics of the events there.

Hari: Yes a great session indeed. Pics. were taken by volunteers there, not any by me. Can call me when you have time. Swamiji is in Chennai after a week.
Namaste. Swaha.

O.K. then Wrekers, I guess I'm not totally wrong. Any way, yet another instance to show that this world is a global village with neither borders to divide nor boundaries to confine.
Swahilya.
