Samarpan Online Group Meditation Newsletter

TOPIC FOR THE WEEK – Meditation…developed from one’s atma .. powered by a universal Sadguru’s

On the first day we got to the Dandi Ashram and felt peace in the atmosphere ,we settled in and after the first day all our thoughts stop for example(thinking of friends or family at home)

If you do think of someone at home, its as if you thinking about this person after many years.I had spoken to the other sadhaks and to my amazement the other sadhaks had the same experience It was amazing.The energy on the ashram made us feel we at home there was no urban disturbances like rikshaw noises or dusty pollution, it was only nature

It was also the Navaratri period during the retreat so they had a garba session at the ashram (Garba is dancing in a circular motion and during navaratri time in the middle of the circle we place Goddess Ambe maa murti )in the evening inviting all the sadhaks from around India.

There were around 7-12 000 people doing garba for around 2.5 hours non stop.

The energy was so great that I lost my sense of direction in terms of where I was,I didn’t know which side the ashram or Swamiji was .it was just strong energy in a the circular motion.The energy from the ground was pulling out all the negativity as we were dancing.All my life I had been attending navaratri functions this had top the list by far..

Then we had meditation on the beach it felt so peaceful didn’t want to get up the tranquil sounds of the waves Brought about a lot of peace within..

On Dasirath day where Swamiji gets energies from his guru during 10-11am all the sadhaks went to meditate by the murti..while meditating I reached a place where I felt the guru element was around me I can’t. explain how it was as it was not a dream as in like a physical room it was all based on vibrations it was unbelievable…and inside me I felt joy and started shouting “jai baba swami”

We also had Swamiji come to talk to us and what amazed me is how Swamiji could understand any language through vibrations it was great..

What I really loved was one of the sadhaks asked about why their is a lack of involvement from the youth and Swamiji answer was focus on your state in meditation once you purify yourself it will change

Thereafter we went for second time to dandi beach just to enjoy the water so basically is was a social gathering while we were all scattered everywhere an aum appeared in the sky and disappeared within minutes..this was a blessing for us

Also One of the days I was little late for the morning meditation At the murti hall from 7 to 8… so I did meditation facing the murti from outside the hall I felt the vibration were even better.. This proves that what is best will happen in good time “As I thought I was late yet I was on time to receive an even greater experience”

At the end of the retreat we also joined the mega meditation in Surat..there was around 150 000 people at 5am within 5min the entire crowd was brought to total silence..It was very cold I felt cool iced energy from behind my neck to the sahastra chakra Swamiji had said we should chant “I am a pure soul I am a holy soul ” I decided to chant it for one hour during the 2 hour session however once I had started I only stopped when there was 15min left

…Time flew..

Also the day of the mega meditation we attended the classical show in the evening on the same grounds as the mega meditation as soon as the musician played the flute the kundalini started turning inside

I was sitting on a chair my feet started getting a lot of heat ..Lots of us went into meditation state.It was unbelievable

And of course meeting all the new brothers and sister from all the different countries made it very special as samarpan is a new civilization of pure souls spread across the globe…and as time goes we meet more and more family worldwide who will welcome us if we come to there countries

Jai baba swami
