Dear Geja and all, Jai Shri Mataji!
May I know who and how many are joining with us.
Last time every thing worked out miraculously.
While we are discovering how Our Divine Mother unfolds Her Divine Play, just few things to remember here again.
All the foreign yogis should know about the present day political situation. It is better for yogis who join to know about it upfront before arriving in SL.
Every foreigner need MOD (ministry of Defense) permission to travel to North – Jaffna/Kaithady – in addition to visa to SL.
In South – Colombo:
Staying and giving programs in the Rama Krishna mission, Colombo will be safe – we will not be noticed much as a different or non-Buddhist religious group and draw the attention of authorities.
In North – Jaffna / Kaithady:
Jaffna – hall booking and leaflet distribution. – no much cost for this – we will just have to do some prep work.
Kaithady – hall booking and leaflet distribution. – no cost for this – will not be a problem at all in Kaithady.
Again, we will have to find out how practical it will be to book a hall in Jaffna for large gathering and give programs. We might have to instead use schools or temples. I will talk to my sister and find out what will work.
Now a days any public gathering draws attention of authorities every where in Sri Lanka.
Don’t worry about transportation of yogis travel to Jaffna / Kaithady and yogis stay/food in Kaithady.
Leaflets – should be available at least 2 weeks before the program date for effective distribution without drawing undue attention. In that case for Jaffna / Kaithady – they can multiply by printing there – you can give the sample leaflet – If you do it in Malaysia I do not know how you can send there – do you have any idea?
Follow up after:
I will be staying for about 3 months in North.
Would any one of you like to stay longer for followup? – stay in Kaithady will be free for them.
Much Love,
Ramany
