Children's party
photosA sumptuous feast had been laid out by the yoginis and a carpeted marquee was ready for the informal get together. Sadhana didi smiled continuously and joined in to sing many of the bhajans dedicated to our divine Mother.
The Yuva Shakti were present in force later to be joined by more Austrian brothers and sisters as they arrived from their long journey. 'Ciuri, Ciuri....' and 'Oh Sole mio...' rendered with charming simplicity and devotion made our hearts swell in joy. The improvised program was topped by Ganesha aarti danced with graceful devotion by two yoginis.
Sadhana didi expressed her appreciation of the program and thanked her heartily.

During the beautiful children's party in the square of Palazzo Doria someone said that Shri Mataji was resting and that it would have been quite difficult to have the blessing of Her Darshan again.
I felt just a little bit disappointed.
BUT all the sudden our brothers and sisters guided by the leader of Milan, started to sing "Ciuri Ciuri" a typical sing from the south of Italy followed by Robert leading the spanish song "Mataji Jay".
The devotion and effort that was put into the songs (must not be easy to sing a sicilian song for Shri AdiShakti when you are born and bred in Milan or in Spanish being an english gentleman) just open ed my heart so much and tears started to flow!
I immediately realized that Our Mother is closer then what we usually realized: She constantly guide,loves and nourishes us also from the pure love our brothers and sisters.
Thank you Shri Mataji for such wonderful family!

Jai Shri Mataji !
Seeing the hearty laugh of our dear Sadhana Didi we feel so close to Her ! We also become children when we enjoy the photos. The Thandava-type dance of our sahaja sisters are really amazing ! What a talent.
Jai Shri Mataji
