I have been in the Ashram at 06:00 in the morning. It’s lovely to sit in the Meditation Hall, then move over to the Samadhi Hall for the milk offering before 07:00. When I was back home, I had a shower and prepared for Satsang with Ammani. There are fewer people now as many people are leaving Tiru. It’s already 35 degrees warm here.
I thought about going to Nandhini’s, but it is closed on Monday. I was driving to Shanti Travel and asked about C-Form. They said the landlord has to do it using my passport and visa data. I bought some laddu in the small shop at the corner.
I just had some bread and cheese for lunch. I thought it was better to eat it before I leave on Wednesday at 02:00 in the morning. In the afternoon, I went to the Ashram, and I also joined the reading again. I was in contact with Karuna about our travel. We both were hoping to get our flights. Although the area is quite risky due to the bombing of Iran’s missiles and drones.
It was Edwin’s birthday today, and everybody sent him congratulations on WhatsApp. His daughter was inviting everybody to a cake at 19:30.
When I was back in my apartment, the doorbell was ringing. It was Lokesh. He asked me if I would go to the Ashram. I denied, I amjust coming from there. He asked me if I could give him a lift into town to buy a pot. There is fullmoon on Tuesday, and Girivalam starts at 18:00 on Monday for 24 hours. There were a million people on the road. We couldn’t enter the main road by scooter, but had to use the back roads behind Sathya’s. Coming over Post Office Road, the main road was so crowded with people that we turned back. It was not a good idea to go shopping today. I drove through the back roads, passing The Inner Child Restaurant. We stopped at a small shop, and Lokesh bought some spices. I got a bag of Garam Masala for Portugal later. I dropped Lokesh at Perumbakkam Road again and drove back to The Dreaming Tree Restaurant, where I would meet Dharma. We shared a dinner with Kish and Pizza. Later we had an ice cream. The bill was 1100 Rupees, which is 555 Rupees each. In India, this is a lot, but in fact, it is just €5 when in Portugal. The perception changes when staying longer time in India.
I thought about going toEdwin’s for a cake, but it was late already, so I went home to spend the last full night in my apartment.
