The Fruits of our Mother

On March 3rd and 4th we had the pleasure of giving realization during the Asian Cultural Fair at the Fruit and Spice Park in Homestead. We had always heard about the Fruit and Spice Park, but we never had a chance to go there since it is pretty far from where we all live. But, now was our opportunity!

The drive itself was pleasant. It seemed as though we had gone to a different state all together! Suddenly we were surrounded by farms and nurseries of all kinds. We knew we must be getting closer to the Fruit and Spice Park. It was in such a remote area that we were wondering who would show up for the fair.

Well, lo and behold the fair was packed with people. The weather was gorgeous as it usually is in March. The yogis had a wonderful time enjoying the beautiful day, sitting on the green grass sipping fresh coconut milk and eating freshly picked strawberries.

During both days, almost 200 people received their realization! The traffic flow was unstoppable. As we got busier, we kept our explanation of Sahaja Yoga to a bear minimum. Ultimately, we asked the seekers to hold out their hands, close their eyes and ask their mothering energy within them to ‘please grant me my self-realization.’ And, people felt the peace almost instantly!

It is always a joy for us to see people feeling the peace and joy of their Spirit. Even though we were far south, we met people who lived in many of the areas where we currently hold weekly meetings.

The highlight of both days was when we got up on stage and gave a 5 minute presentation to about 100 people. Not everyone received their realization, but many people were open to trying it and ultimately felt the cool breeze! It was a great opportunity for us.

We look forward to participating in many more events in the near future!
