21 march, bharata yatra 2008, kolkata<\/p>\n
the loooooong bharata yatra is coming to an end. we were on the road for days and nights, of many weeks; in different states, languages, food, climates, travel, programes, bhajans, satsangs and jokes, prasad from amma…\u00a0 it’s all getting over. all that has happened is becoming beautiful memories..<\/p>\n
the majority of the\u00a0 group will go back to amritapuri, some to their homes around the world, and a few with amma to continue to andaman, singapore, australia…<\/p>\n
before leaving, amma gave a satsang. it was a reflection of the tour, what we did, what we were supposed to do. it was a re-education of what spirituality means; how many times we failed to surrender, what a guru disciple relationship means, etc. so many points to pond over…<\/p>\n
probably it was one of the best satsangs in recent times, as far as a serious sadhak is concerned. we have heard this many times, but when you hear it again, it helps to re-evaluate where we stand.. actually, that is the purpose of all this yatra. being asked once, amma said “if your mind is traveling, its yatra. if not, its not yatra.”<\/p>\n
as spiritual aspirants, we all should try harder to keep the mind off yatra; not to wander here and there, but to keep it with our selves.
\nmay amma bless us.<\/p>\n
