Dear MOJers,
How’re you all doing? Still floating on the vibes of the Tour I trust? I’ve kinda landed in the day-to-day routine but still spin through the pix I shot of the Tour for a quick pick-me-up now and then. How was your session of show-and-tell with the Collective?
Follow-ups are progressing nicely. In Vietnam, things started off with a bang. They’ve been having really good numbers- between 60-90 per class, often running both at the same time because the first session has seekers who started right after the concert, and the second is populated with seekers who have joined in the weeks after.
Laos is doing well too. For the first 2 of the weekly follow-ups, Malaysians joined the Thais. Since then however, the Thai yogis have had to completely take over because Malaysians have difficulty matching AirAsia flights to our schedule (there’s only 1 flight on days they fly, and they don’t fly every day). For us to attend the program in Vientiane, we’d have to fly there on Thursday and can only fly out again on Monday, so it’s not easy finding people who can take 5days off work (not to mention 5-days hotel stay + expenses). The Thai yogis, on the other hand, fly in Saturday, run the workshop and leave again on Sunday. We hear things are going well, with 20+ seekers attending regularly. Several new people have since joined classes, and the Thai strategy of weekly advertisements in newspapers seems to be working out well.
In Cambodia, 1 of the seekers who came for the concert, Sophan, has been helping out a lot, looking for more affordable locations to hold classes. He’s been really helpful, offering all kinds of assistance, liaising with venues so we don’t get charged foreigner rates, and even offering to help us advertise in newspapers and the local media should we choose to. Sophan advised us to hold monthly classes for now, and a string of yogis have already booked their flights till year-end for trips to Cambodia for classes.
So in all the places you’ve performed, especially in new countries, many things seem to have worked out, classes are going well, seekers are coming and getting enlightened, and most importantly, nations are being awakened! It was so incredibly joyful to be a part of that, and every time I reflect on the last few weeks, I feel this incredible flow of vibrations. It looks like we truly cannot judge by how many people came; it was the sprouting of the seed which was needed, and this international collaboration of joyful yogis, all there with the singular intention of spreading Shri Mataji’s word and love, helped things begin to bloom. I was very touched & inspired by how everyone worked so harmoniously, so simply, so joyfully together…we all went with the flow, no clashing of egos, no petty hassles. And it all flowed and worked out 🙂 There is yet a lot to do, but things are off to a good start!
…
My beautiful brothers & sisters, that’s it for now. Take care and have a fantastic weekend!
Jai Shri Mataji!
