Silent Retreat 2008

Dear One:

I attended Silent Retreat from October 10, 2008 to October 12, 2008. Jai Gidwani (my nephew) was kind enough to give ride to me, Urszula Kubrak (from Poland), Chie Fujishima (from Japan), and Jan Learner (US). Big thanks to Jai. We had nice satsangh on our drive to and from retreat.

It really was enriching experience with nature walks, Jyothi Meditation, chanting, devotional singing and speakers.

Retreat was held at St. Mary's Villa in Sloatsburg, New York.

During early morning nature walk, I was able to witness fall colors in different trees. Meditation by the pond was awesome. I even got a glimpse of my Baba's orange robe near the pond.

Speakers talked about God Realization, mind, body and personality complex, desires, detachment, right action, truth etc.,

At the end of retreat, Om sign appeared inside Baba's life-size picture at alter.

We also participated in group singing at adult care center.

Practicing silence was great. It restored great level of energy.

"Only in silence, voice of god can be heard"...Sathya Sai Baba.

May you enrich your life through prayers THANKING GOD for all his blessings.

BE BLESSED
