Dandi Ashram, Navsari, 24 th February, 2017 We were to be nine sadhaks travelling to Navsari on 23 rd , but in the end two dropped out and two decided to travel late in the evening, as a result our two cars reduced to one and we had a pretty comfortable journey. I left home at 5.07 am and picked up Deepaliji and Harishji at 5.23am (8 minutes behind schedule). I had requested Umeshji to be ready on the highway at Mira Road at 5.45am. I reached the spot at 5.40am, ahead of schedule and we waited for Umeshji who came bang on time. We got stuck at the Vasai creek bridge for about 15 minutes and then we were on our way to the Ashram. We got very heavy traffic and weaving through the traffic made the going a bit slow. I had factored this parameter into the travel time and had informed our fellow sadhaks that we would reach the Ashram by 10am. After a breakfast halt of 45 minutes at Vithal Kamats at 7am, we left for Dandi and reached the Ashram at 10.15am. During the journey, I ...

7 th March, 2016 – Samarpan Ashram, Dandi This year too there were last minute hiccups before departing for Mahashivratri festival. Three sadhaks dropped out and three new came in as last minute replacements. This time I left home at 6 in the morning on Sunday 6 th March, picked up Mallika Ghai, Revathi Venkateshvaran and Peeyush Shivananda (a new sadhak) from Andheri East, then at around 6.30am picked up Deepali Gokhale from Borivali East on the highway. I had a meeting at Yoga Prabha Bhavan at 11am hence the early departure. We had sumptuous breakfast at Datta Wada House at around 7.30am. We reached Yoga Prabha Bhavan at 10.30am. I parked my car and went to A1 Bungalows to Mr. Sundeep Sharma’s residence and joined Pratapbhai and family for some light snacks. In the meanwhile Ramaniji came with the international sadhaks and I spent some time chatting with them. We got a message to come to Yoga Prabha Bhavan for the meeting and then left at 11.15 for the meeting. Mr. Sundeep S...

DANDI ASHRAM – CONCLUSION OF  8 TH DEEP MEDITATION ANUSHTHAN We left for Navsari on 26 th February at 12.15pm from my office. Originally six of us had planned to travel and on January 1, I had booked two rooms at Hotel Regency – one for ladies and one for gents. But as per Guruiccha three dropped out at the last moment, and only three of us travelled with Pawanji deciding to come by train and join us at night. We reached Dandi Ashram by 4.30pm and caught the evening meditation. The atmosphere was cool and vibrant with energy. After meditation we had bhojan Prasad and reached the hotel by 9.15pm. On the way we got a call from Krupaji who said that there was some problem with booking as Ramnathji using a mobile app had booked two rooms for the 27 th of Feb instead of 26 th . I told her that Ramnath and his wife and son can stay with me, Khamankarji and Truptiji by putting an extra bed. Krupaji adjusted with Channeeji and and Kishorebhai and Prashantbhai went to Pratapbhai’s h...
