Farewell India

My time in India is drawing to a close and though I am so ready to return home to my family and friends, India has forever left it's mark on me.

The power places of Arunachala, Beneras, Vrindavan and Rishikesh. The Saints, sages, Sadhus and Samadhis. The Holy Rivers and Holy Cows. The rituals and disciplines, the very air here has conspired with All-That-Is to further me on my Path to Awakening.

I am forever grateful for my deeply spiritual community at home, whose desire, through many varied practices, it is to grow in 'the sunlight of the Spirit'. It is an honor to walk this Path with you. Thank you also for the prayers from my Mother and her friends!

My trip ends with the darshun of the Saint, Mata Amritanandamayi (recognized by the United Nations for her humanitarian work and affectionately known as the Hugging Saint), on my 41st birthday and the same evening as my beloved Reiki Clinic meets. May we be united through intention and love on this most auspicious day.

Then I will click my heels together three times and chant 'there's no place like home, there's no place like home'.... I am so looking forward to seeing you soon.

Love & Light,
Maureen

Many many happy returns on your birthday.

By the way, when did you get AMMA's Darshan. I got Her Darshan early this morning in Delhi. Were you there?

Do return to India.

All the best.
