Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. ~Confucius~
This was a fully packed day with Satsang and Puja. At first, I had been to Satsang with Ammani as I mostly do. I was sitting on the floor with my back against the side wall. It was nourishing as usual being here. After Satsang, I drove to Nandhini’s for a coffee. Fortunately, the Cafe was open today. Florence sent me a message that we could meet at Sheshadri Ashram for Puja at 11:30. When I paid my bill, I saw David. He is my neighbour in Shiva Mantra Residency. We had a talk for a while before I left.
When I arrived, the Puja had just started, and I saw Florence standing inside near the shrine. It was a beautiful Puja, not as many people as in the Sri Ramana Ashram usually. After the ceremony, we went for a chai before heading towards the Ramsuratkumar Ashram near Postoffice Road. They are offering free lunch there. We sat down outside and enjoyed the food in the shade. I had never been here before. The Ashram is very spacious, and I could read a little about the Yogi.
It felt good inside here, and I sat down for a while on a chair and tried to rest or sleep for 30 minutes. I didn’t sleep but was deeply relaxed. We continued then to the Sri Ramana Ashram. Before I stopped at Ganga Maa Ashram, to the time for the afternoon Satsang. It would be from 17:30 to 18:30.
In the Ashram, I was meditating again until Florence, and I left for another chai, then we went to Ganga Maa’s Ashram. The door wasn’t open yet, but there were already some people waiting. Going inside, I got a chair pretty much in the front, near Ganga Maa’s chair. It was silent for 40 minutes, until somebody asked the first question. There were two more questions before the Satsang ended.
It was time to eat something. Sarala’s Cafe was a good choice for a small meal. I had a pumpkin soupwith chapatis again. Mangala and Helen were there, and Gopika showed up. When leaving, I dropped Florence at Da Mantra Cafe and went home. It was a lovely day with a lot of non-action in silence.
