Below are some pictures from the last spiritual event here in Hawaii. This event (Rainbow Gathering, as I call) took place on June 1th, 2008, and it was a day after from which Prem Baba conducted his work at his Ashram in Brazil. We tried to do on the same day, on May 31th, so we could be on the same spiritual frequency with Prem Baba, but this time was not possible, however, for the next work we will definitely try harder to accomplish that union.
It was definitely a wonderful experience to sing from Prem Baba's hinarios, by listening and following the melodious Portuguese soundtracks; we all went through deep realizations. At the middle the actual session, we stopped and had a relaxation for sharing our experiences.
After that -meaning after- we finished the entire second half, we shared some more insights and musics, which was played by Alexander, Jecek, Vishnu Das, and myself (Hari Saran). BTW, Cathy came and at the end she gave massage to everyone (as you can see me on the picture getting massage) and she also shared Sai Baba's Vibhuti (the holy ashes that his followers believe to miraculously descend from his hands). Erik was peacefully there, sharing his kindness and Buddhist insights.
Jerrel conducted a guided meditation for about 15 minutes and just before that I put to play two beautiful songs by Maria Bethania, named "Canto De Oxum" and "Yemanjá Rainha do Mar" (which you can listen and watch by clicking the clips below the pictures). Everyone really liked Bethania's songs, which in reality are beautiful prayers for both Goddesses Oxum and Yemanja, who (according to Afro-Brazilian Religions) are deities/energy forces in nature. Oxum representing the Love and Strength of Mother Nature and Yemanja as the Queen of the Ocean.
We opened and closed the work with hand-on-hand in circle, chanting the sacred Mantra OM 7 times, Ganesha Mantras, Gayatri Mantra, Shiva Mantras, and some others that glorifies Guru, the powers of Nature, like Vayu and Surya, and the Maha Mantra Hare Krishna.
Thus, I would like to say many many thanks to Prem Babaji and his assistant Lizanneji for their support and immense help in the realization of this wonderful work and for all those individuals, who came and took it seriously; shared their love, strength and commitment.
