The Hamburg Part1 course for repeaters from Oct 14 to 18th was very special. I realized that when the students are good sadhaks, the teachers experience goes deeper, and the teachers job becomes easy. The knowledge was opening veil after veil and tickling the conciousness of the people as they went more and more in awe of it. Discovered two new games which were absolute fun and offered wonderful insight into the mind. The meditations used to be so deep, nobody would want to open their eyes, even after it was over. On the last day, after the aura meditation, it was spellbound, the silence was speaking something so profound and blissful, love and gratitude could be heard and grace could be felt like a fragrance in every breath. I experienced effortlessness of doing and hollow and emptiness of the being. Love, prayers and gratitude Yours, in service Saleel

Thats the Afghan Hindu Temple in Rotenburgsort in Hamburg where we had the magical satsang on the 6th night of Navratri. This is a small place of worship in the Vietnamese restaurant we visited for dinner yesterday evening An amazing musical instrument. The guy is just rotating a pulley and the instrument gives out decent music. This is how he earns some money. Now, this is total let go, surrender, almost like samadhi!

Finally now I feel part of the Navratri Celebrations! We were invited to the Afghan Hindu temple in Hamburg where I taught a Part 1 course 3 weeks ago. The 6th night of Navratri, Wednesday, Oct 13, was a Jagran at the temple. We reached at 1130 pm and wanted to leave by 12. We met the main organizers and waited for our turn to sing a bhajan, Krishi was to accompany me on the guitar. We waited and waited, the mind began to get impatient and irritation crept in. We were told to wait more as the guy who was singing wasn't stopping at all. It was now 1am. I became aware of the impatience and remembered Guruji's words: "Waiting can lead to frustration or waiting can lead to meditation. Waiting for eternity is samadhi." So I just dropped the irritation and decided to let go in the present moment. Within a few minutes we were told to sing :-). The singing team who had to take a break in order to allow us, reluctantly agreed. Durge durge durge jai jai ma aa aa, Kali kapalini ...
