Dallas Ashrama

Margaret at the homa area

The following postings take the place of the regular meditations until I return to Boston on Tuesday.
I hope that you enjoy my brief accounts of my attendance at the Symphony of Yoga Conference in Frisco TX.

Jaya Guru Devi
This evening we visited the newly built Dallas Ashrama of Sri Swamiji Ganapati Sachchidananda. There was a traditional ceremony around a homa, which is a ceremonial fire. Mantras were chanted and it was quite delightful to be present and witness the energy around the homa as well as breath in the fragrant air.

Sri Swamiji arrived to perform puja to inaugurate the new building. Musicians played while the prayers were being offered. This was the first time that the temple was officially used.

The temple sits on 10 acres and is a very tranquil space.

Sri Swamiji chanted a new mantra to the large audience of several hundred men, women, and children. The mantra is very powerful but it is also so new that I will have to see if I can have a copy to share with you.

On Saturday evening there will be a concert by Sri Swamiji so I look forward to telling you about that soon.

Namaste
