June 29, 2008

Guru Purnima 2008 in Germany

Dear Haidakhandis,
We sincerely would like to invite you to our annual
Gurupurnima celebrations to the
German Ashram in Rieferath which also celebrates its 30th
year of existence. We are looking forward to singing and
dancing, to holding Satsang and to lovingly meeting
devotees from all over the world. The festivity will take
place from 16 - 20 July with daily yagnas, pujas and
kirtans. We are looking forward to a big festival in honor
of Babaji! Come all in large numbers!

The chairman of the Indian Samaj, Alok Banerjee and his
escort will be present from 16 - 18 July. To get attuned to
the main event on 18 July we will be singing throughout the
full moon night.

The group GOMA will give a wonderful concert on 19 July and
on 20 July a closing yagna will take place. The afternoons
will be filled with satsang, meditation, dance and a joint
walking-tour throughout our idyllic Rieferath countryside
and our children will also receive many pleasant surprises.
Throughout the entire celebration period we will be very
well catered for by our Italian cooks!

You are also welcome to join in the preparations before the
festival or stay on after
the celebrations. Please let us know as soon as possible if
you intend to come. This will facilitate the planning
procedures.
