Namaskar all,
12/Jun/22 is a special day for AMSG as well as to individuals who attended the trip to Ananda Uma. Everyone, imcluding Didi Priyainjali, Dada Karmayogananda, Má Karuna, Lokeshvara, Kalyanii, Viniita, Tapan Deva, Yogamaya (Russian Margii), Trinetra, Chính, Sudhedevii, Sadhana, Shiva (Sadhana’s son), Nandita’, Trang (Nanadita’s friend), Candraprabha, Gitta, Hayatii, Nghĩa (Hayatii’s brother), Tarun (Architect), Vishoka, Trptii, Tulasii, Gopal, Devadas, brother Ba (Nandita’s friend) and his friend, Thân (contractor) and other brothers from the excavator and contractor teams were at the land from 8:00 AM. We gathered in Ananda Uma Eco-village to witness and mark an important milestone in 30 year history of this land: laying the first stone to build an hexagon hall of 120m2, for 50-60 people. Our task was to locate the site of the hall, then we did kiirtan, meditation, after that Didi and Mom Karuna were laying the first stone and we all recited the mantra for this ceremony, the first stone was laid right at the cental hall of the diameter of 6m. Then the workers started to ground filling for the next steps (only this morning 17 Jun, we got to know that the works of 2 days are complimentary for our projects!).
Everybody was surprised when we sat for breakfast and did the introduction then one of our guests to his turn, expressed that he and his friend (at his factory) would supply the heat resistant toles, which value estimately 50M đồng. He would like to donate to our meaningful project and hope that Ananda Uma will open for yoga class and meditation course soon. He proposed that the deducted amount can be for the toilet, bathroom and kitchen (which is still open, as we can’t afford). It is the interesting and unexpecting news, so everyone of us was very touched and believed that He approved and supported our project!
The ceremony was very simple but deep, all of us could feel the subtle and peaceful vibration in kiirtan, meditation and mantra. Then everyone was free to enjoy the nature and satsanga, and the three sisters started to clean the grass, Didi, Dada and the others also joined. At lunch we could have the delicious bun rieu by chief also M.U. in charge Viniita. In the afternoon, it was raining heavily and long time, a good sign from the Supreme for such a project.
For about 30 years of this land, we dreamt of a simple but nice concrete base for satsanga, asanas class, meditation, community activities, English classes for children and rest after working, a multi-functional hut, now the Cosmic Flow made it into Energy combining all the conditions to make our dreams come true. After 3 weeks to one month, we will have the hall finished. And more works will come in the bigger scales and faster speed, we welcome all of you, who are ready to make history, to join us.
