India and Israel becoming one
6 Dec 2008, Tel Aviv, Israel
A 4 day program that was held in Israel was concluded with an Integrated Amrita Meditation retreat by Brahmachari Shubamrita accompanied by Nath.
The 1st program was held in Tel Aviv. On that night Tel Aviv was quiet as in the morning there was an alert for terrorist attacks, so the city was half closed. On all people mind there were tragic events of the terror attacks in Mumbai, an attack that mutual both countries with a sad outcome. This did not prevent from people to attend, and the hall was full.
From there we went to Jerusalem program, held in the same place in the 3rd year in a row. The weather in the holy city was pleasant with its famous mountain breeze. We visited the Western Wall and the ancient city.
The 3rd program was held in Pardes-Hana, a place that becomes a center for spiritual activities in Israel. The small hall was packed and the people were very interested in hearing more about Amma.
The day after, Friday Evening we celebrated the Shabbat with a Jewish traditional ceremony, with all the Israeli Satsang members attending. We sang Shabbat Jewish “Bhajans” and concluded with chanting Amma’s 108 names and a Puja conducted by Brahmachari Shubamrita. We ate together Indian and Israeli dish combined.
It was a unique and special week for Amma’s Israeli children, and the dream of having Amma for a program one day, was boosting our Seva.
On the end of the retreat, we danced Israeli HORA dance, while singing Amma Amma Taye, a mixture that we are so thirsty to have more and more.
