Day 5 – Taiwan, Tuesday Sept 24
(2013 South East Asia Tour)
We had morning meditation by the lake at the university where we stayed at in Hsinchu City.
To sit on the earth and to ground ourselves is purely a treat as all the traveling makes you feel like you are literally and physically riding on waves on the SEA of love.
We sailed on the bus to Taipei, to the tune of cliches composed by the witty minds in MOJ.
We stayed at the Taipei Teachers Hotel. Very classy indeed, a hotel fit for a king and queen.
Our schedule for today was 2 programs at Gee May Elementary School, New Taipei, one for parents and children and the other for general public. This was our first school program and it was phenomenal, walking through the school and seeing innocence beaming from their faces with radiant smiles. Hearing the background sounds of children, groups of 2×5 in a row of children jumping in long skipping ropes what a delight to see. Many welcoming us with waves and greetings in English and in Chinese.
There were about 400 seekers in attendance, they mimicked every clap to the rhythmic beat.
Afterwards we were given the most divine handmade gifts, every one unique in its own way. A little Ganesha made from clay, delicately crafted and coloured, we could feel a mountain of love as we received what they so heartily gave. Each one different as they were made by all the yogis from the Taiwan collective.
We also received handmade traditional Aboriginal hat made by Taotao, an amazing Aboriginal yogini. Each hat, special, uniquely designed, the colours, the meanings suited each MOJ in an auspicious way. I was told that the style some of the ladies were given is for a princess and I admit they truly treated us like a princess. I solemnly swear!
Last year at the airport, Taotao gave us handmade bracelet each that she worked on for 2 days, to make for everyone and promised she would send more gifts and she did. Her words were ‘for every thread is Mother’s Love that unites us together as one’.
Taotao and I have a connection I can’t describe, is beyond this life and beyond my mind. The deepest love of such kindred spirits, a divine treasure to sustain us for life. When she comes to my attention my I feel my kundalini rise with a fountain of love.
It is such a joy that we gratefully share, for we see Mothers abundance of love everywhere, in the innocent eyes of all children, in blossomed hearts of seekers, and the pure spirit of Sahaja yogis.
Mother salutations to you! We thank you again and again!
Jai Shri Mataji!
With love from Merenia (on Tour)
