Safe harbour

It was the happiest gathering ever and it transformed me.

It took me years to learn lessons from my own experience tearing down glass ceilings. Simple group activities and practical wisdom conveyed this message so succintly that one almost enjoyed the experience of dropping ones shells.

The three days made me see that there is so much goodness and joy in this world and experienced first hand what goes around comes around. The most touching instances were when folks around me saw my spirits ebb - I got a back massage, a blessing and tons of love when I was so very confused all totally unasked for. The sense of belonging was intense. I learned to build bridges not walls around me under the stewardship of the guru of course.

Importantly I found my Safe harbour. In his love I am safe. Years of I and me had made me a gogetter. Having acheived everything, there was something amiss. Today I have arrived at my destination - so much at peace with myself, harmonious with the world around me! Lost and found! One of the most cherished moment in my life in the last week has been when my husband perceived that he has got back the girl - a girl so full of life -who he fell in love with, almost 20 years ago and for him to have felt it across the miles, across the Atlantic something huge should have shifted in me!

I have never been to a crazier party before! From a creepy crawly caterpillar to the most liberated butterfly the transformation fuelled with love and compassion was the most moving experience.

The icing on the cake was undoubtedly Anandjis style of delivering a message. Little did I realise the impact of his fluid dynamic gestures, until I was made to sit with my back to him. Anandji's talk then lost its lustre and I had to make a special effort to stay in the moment. Atlast I got it! The disspassionate compassion and the energy that flows from Anandji is almost palpable and infectious and has kindled the very best in of every one of us.

Came home with a hoarse throat from all the laughing, shouting and cheering, sore feet from the uninhibited dancing and a featherlight spirit brimming with joy.

I am awe struck watching as the magic unfolds in my life. Folks Thank you one and all for making the DSN portland the best lifechanging party of my life! I pray for the grace and strength to pass this on to the greater good of humanity.

JOY GURUDEV!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
