Bournemouth, England

From Shivakami Hernmarck:

Mid-July of this year, in Bournemouth, England, Thomasina Craster and Krishan hosted R.B. Singh and his wife, Vidyawathi, Shivabalayogi devotees now living in Bangalore, India. Thomasina's flat turned into a mini-ashram for a few days with much cooking, meditation & laughter. Seven meditation and bhajans programs were organized over mornings and evenings. The bhajans were very powerful and everybody joined in — about thirty people on some evenings. As Shivakami reports, the programs helped awaken enthusiasm among devotees who had known Swamiji from his visits to the U.K. over 1987 to 1991.

The Bournemouth group was so inspired by the devotees’ visit that they planned regular monthly programs. The first was on Sunday the 7th of August, the occasion of the 50th anniversary of Shivabalayogi’s completion of twelve years of tapas. They had a very good program in Bournemouth with focused, silent meditation, good strong energy bhajans and (just enough) prasad.
