Hold Unami MM Family in the Light

Please hold Randy and Marietta and their family in the Light as Randy's mother nears the end of life in connection with a major medical crisis. Randy regrets not being able to join our delegation as he had planned to do. We know that Randy will be with us in spirit as we travel together to the All India Friends Gathering in Itarsi.

Tonight Jack and I will go to the airport to greet Samantha, a Swarthmore MM member who worships with the West Philadelphia Worship Group while attending graduate school. Archana, our host who is traveling north to Delhi by night train, will meet us at the ashram on Saturday. On Wednesday we look forward to two Central Philadelphia MM members joining our delegation when we meet Buzz and Francis in Itarsi.

The Aurobindo Ashram is an oasis of calmness and gardens in the heart of India's capital city. Part of its mission is to help travelers connect with their spiritual lives through yoga, meditation, and service. Each morning we have continued our "sana" by watering the many planter boxes on the top two floors around the atrium of each of the four or five towers that make up the ashram. Another part of the ashram's mission is to honor the wisdom of the Mother who taught Sri Aurobindo's philosophy to others during much of his lifetime in Ponicherry.
