14th Jul. Went to the other end of London & wot a trip!!!

Took off, in the morning , to visit Nirmal & family at a place called Hounslow, near Heathrow. Did not realize how far it was till the journey began & ended at his door step!!!

To my luck, the Victoria line was not working , so had to take the bus to the nearest place where the tubes were operating. From there, it was one crazy trip. Kept changing lines, stations , to eventually reach the last line, which took me to Hounslow. A simple journey, which should have taken me an hour, took me 2 hours!!! Sighhhhhhh

But, all worth it. Met the family, Nirmal & Priti , the perfect host & their son Nimit , is one cute kid …  beauty being, has no accent whatsoever when he talks in hindi or English . However, according to Priti, the accent comes out when he talks to his friends!!! A happy afternoon with them, where we discussed future business venture in Bombay, if & when they move back!!!

From there, I took off to the Sharma’s residence, which is 15 minutes away from Nirmals. Met Mom & Fenu M near the station & walked with them to attend the satsang. Dharmendraji & his wife Kailashji are old devotees, who have met Baba & their Centre has been running since the eighties. Also met Murli ben & other devotees , we have met at the ashram. The satsang was absolutely lifting & we felt we were in the ashram, the energy there was amazing!

Got home at around 9pm …  to say that I crashed out after this crazy day is an understatement.

Energy…. Which was so strong at the satsang , was felt by all. And was lovingly put by Kailashji, that it was the energy that the Bombay walla’s had got with them from GSP!!!

What do you guys exactly do in a satsang? Remember that kamina brahmin we met at the paan ki dukaan? The one who got so obsessed with my nails, and our speaking in angrezi bhasha? He was supposed to go to London for some Jagannath worship festival.
Looks like a firmly rotted Hindu-culture group is growing out there.
Good. The light should be kept alive (though not by men like him!)Glad you people are into spirituality, which is vanishing so rapidly. God bless you all.

Oh I am so sorry! I meant to say firmly ROOTED Hindu culture!!
The spiritual & ethical aspects, I am sure most understand, has to take precedence over the ritual & ceremonial.
If you are contributing to that, then hats off to you guys!
Love.
