Subject: Seva and Bliss
In Santacruz-E, we began the day with watching Guruji's webcast at 5 am live
from Hartford, Connecticut.
This was followed by an amazing long Kriya at 7. the Guru Pooja that
followed had the entire hall and its surroundings 'tanmaya' in Bliss n a
dee..eep Silence.
Later, as planned, we went to the local slums with a team of Blessers,
dressed in white. the rest of us were armed with 'shira' prasaad. We took
out a padayatra with the assistance of local slum leaders. the Blessers were
having a great timeas people came out in drovestoseek their blessings.(This,
despite it being a wet,wet Sunday). The rest of us launched into impromptu
satsangs and handed over prasad to the blessed. The response was
tremendous..people would just not let us go... We managed to bless about
2000 slum dwellers, as Guruji held up the clouds that were threatening to
deluge us all.. He made it so...
Easy..
The experience was so humbling as it was exhilarating..( in case our local
IC bosses are reading this,yes yes, we took pictures and will mail them to
you..:)
)
Now on to the Satsang with pearls of wisdom with those wunderkinds-Bawa and
Dinesh...
Hope to make it in time somewhere to catch the live webcast at night again..
:) The Big Dude looked so... Cool this morning..
Wow man, what a day...
In case anyone one wants to duplicate this locally, it's so easy!!! Just
meet the local community leaders a couple of days earlier and they infor
their members by putting it up on their notice boards. On the appointed day
we just go there and He takes over !!!
It seems to be the quickest adn easiest way to rach His Grace to the maximum
number of people in the shortest of time!!
In Love and Service.

Subject: Blessings Course with Sangeeta didi in San Diego from Sep 16-19
The San Diego Art of Living family feels immense joy, excitement and
gratitude in announcing the first ever Blessings Course in the southwest US,
in San Diego from September 16-19. The course will be taught by the one and
only Sangeeta Jani ji, whom we so lovingly call Sangeeta didi, and who is
kicking off the second part of her 2010 US tour from her most favorite place
in the US - San Diego ;)
Actually, this has been a summer of blessings for San Diego starting with
the Art of Meditation (Sahaj Samadhi) Course in June. Sangeeta didi was
coming to San Diego after 5 years, and we wanted to do make this memorable
by organizing a mega course. 5 days out from the course, though, there were
only 20 odd registrations in spite of our best efforts.
But after a little bit of tough love from Didi, a couple of inspiring calls
with Bay area teachers, and all-out round-the-clock efforts & sincere
prayers from all volunteers, the registrations soared to over 80 in just 3
days. It was a total miracle! In the end, Guruji blessed us with our largest
Art of Meditation course with 101 participants. Spending those 3 days with
Sangeeta didi on the course and outside was an unforgettable treat for
participants and volunteers :)
But there was more to follow. After the mega Meditation course while the SD
volunteers were holidaying in Zion National Park over the July 4th weekend,
and we were told of an opportunity to host Sangeeta didi again that week
thanks to some last minute changes in her schedule. Everything had to be
organized in just a couple of days, and most of the volunteers were out of
town; but after experiencing His grace so powerfully so recently, how could
we say no?
We all decided to jump in with a loud YES, and that was all that was really
needed. Everything fell into place perfectly and in the span of just 2 days
we had two packed Blessings Satsangs in two of the Hindu temples in San
Diego, where over 300 yet-to-be-Art-of-Living people received Guruji's
blessings through Sangeeta didi. There was so much grace, love and joy, and
several healing experiences were reported.
So powerful were the Blessing satsangs that when Sangeeta didi was leaving
she said that whenever she visits San Diego next time and for whichever
course, we should still have a Blessing satsang like this.
We thank Guruji that this time when Sangeeta didi comes back to San Diego,
we will not just have a Blessings satsang but actually a BLESSINGS COURSE!!
Please stay tuned for more details about the course. For now just save the
dates Sep 16-19 in your calendars and start planning on spending those days
with us here in San Diego doing the Blessings Course!
In service & celebration,
San Diego Art of Living Seva Angels
