25 June News from Nayaswami Nirmala

(see photos below)

Dear Friends:

Enclosed is a photo collage with current photos from our new community. Having spent so much time in Delhi, this June monsoon weather is amazingly cool and fresh; while Delhi's temperature soar over 38 (100F), Pune has been around 24 (75F)! What a joy! The evenings especially are so lovely, with soft breezes and cool temperatures....and working outside during the day is a delight. What a contrast from the fierce sun!

Now that we are actually living on the land, we are so thrilled to be back in Nature: the quiet is so deep...the silence is only broken by bird songs and an occasional mango falling from the tree!

This morning we were awakened for meditation by one of the monks blowing a conch, and also by the cry of a wild peacock. These beautiful birds love this valley, as do so many birds that we have never seen anywhere before. Work progresses steadily, and everyone who visits feels the blessings of our gurus: what a "great work" Master is doing through Swamiji, and all of you, dear friends.

It is truly a blessing to be a part of this movement of Divine energy. We hope you enjoy the photos, and please do come soon and see for yourself the progress that is being made.

God bless you,

aum, Nirmala
