    The feeling that lifted me skyward

    This is a personal account of some of the wonderful happenings in Cabella during the Guru Puja weekend, 2008.

Just entering that magical valley lifts half of the vibrational…

      I was with Shri Mataji at Pratishthan when She watched the inauguration of the new American president live on the TV, in January 2009.

    The Dehra Dun collectivity presented some very good quality basmati rice seeds to Shri Mataji. To vibrate those seeds, Shri Mataji asked us to put the bag of seeds near Her. When we put the bag in front of Her Lotus Feet, we felt that a cool breeze was blowing from them. The whole hall…

    Cabella, 2009: last night when I was working in Shri Mataji’s kitchen, arranging the flowers on the trays with Christina (Sakshi).

    Gone away

    Gone away, the days I feel the night stronger than ever Whispering a dream in red I can see colour as She sleeps Far away with lotuses a kingdom is welcoming a queen Dawn and day are the same no time left in between I come from a place where people talk in whispers Gentle…

  • A humbling experience

    A humbling experience

    A polished wood coffin, closed, was what my eyes rested upon at midnight on Sunday. No thoughts that this was the last time came into my head then. All I felt was the flood of vibrations blasting towards me – through me. My dad knelt down to pray. So did my sister and the rest…

Standing motionless in dignified silence for several hours, they sang softly and threw petals of…
