Wow! What a Group of Yogis and Yoginis!
Our
heartfelt thanks to all of you for your energetic participation and generous
donations to Guruji’s Ashram in India.
The 2008 Maha Sri Yogam was a great success! Under the personal guidance of
our beloved
Guruji, 29 people participated in this seven day program. This
group was an interesting mixture of regular yoga practitioners as well as
beginners. The age range varied from six to sixty. The workshop began on July
24th and concluded on the 31st. Although scheduled to be a two hour session
every evening, most of the days the sessions ended after three hours. Guruji has
a unique way of teaching strenuous yoga exercises and breathing techniques in a
fun
and enjoyable way. Practitioners were also given home work! They had to
watch videos which helped them understand the essence of Kundalini Meditation.
One evening was dedicated to breathing which turned out to be the most popular
session of the workshop. The laughing session! Everyone was rolling on the
floor, laughing, tears streaming down their faces. Marinda had arranged an
evening of Kirtan performed by Kalachandji’s disciples from Dallas. Everyone
danced to the Hare Krishna chanting. Many of the participants had brought
food and everyone had a healthy dose of fruits, salads, and other delicacies. On
the last day, classes were completed as scheduled. Then everyone began to talk
about their experiences.
Some of them broke down and wept during their
testimonials. Everyone was moved as we sat listening. They thanked Guruji from
the bottom of their hearts and all of them asked him to come back soon. As has
become a tradition, everyone again brought food and we had a delicious dinner
before saying our goodbyes. Our heartfelt thanks to all of you for your
energetic participation and generous donations to Guruji’s Ashram in
India.
SANTHOSAM! SANTHOSAM!! SAN_THO_SAM!!!
