Tara Dhatu in India II

Tara Dhatu in India

From a friend made along the way...

(The below is from VJ who brought flowers for our Tara Dance altar in Chennai.)
I am so glad to have come to know you and of your blessed work. May you flourish!

I have set up two Picasa albums and posted the following on Tara Dhatu’s website.

Please let me know whenever you visit the bay area. And India. I will be following your work through your website.

Love and Light,

VJ

So inspiring and elevating to listen to Prema Dasara and to witness the dancers embody Tara!

Wow... so long since our last post...  It has been difficult to blog as we go.  Each day begins with a plan and many intentions. Here things do not generally go as planned, but when present for what unfolds one can enjoy many delights.  As it happens all plans to blog have not connected with happening until just how.  All here is an intricate flow of events, of people, of red tape, of technical difficulties, precious heartfelt moments, spiritual inspirations, physical intensities, and sweet delights The day... the days... the last couple weeks...  Amazing how time flies and also amazing how many experiences we have all had in this time.  Music and dance, colors and sounds, smells and tastes... and so very many thoughts and feelings.  How to summarize?  We had a lovely mandala offering in Chennai, visited the famous Kalakshetra music and dance school, Theosophical Society, a Mahabalipuram temple often swallowed and reclaimed by the sea only to be excavated again and again, Auroville and its great Matri Mandir, and the Thiruvannamalai Ashram of Bhagavan Sri Ramana Maharshi and the sacred Arunachala mountain...  Some of our group flew home to Brazil, Canada and the USA and some continued on to Delhi...  The journey continues for us all wherever we are, and in the coming days and weeks we will work to digest, to reflect, and to endeavor to share with you all.
