Feeling What The Cows Feel In Auroville

Dec 23, 2016 | permalink

Under the care of Deven and Shaalini, I arrived in Auroville today.

Had a nice talk for couple hours with a conscious community of change-makers, on the merits of ServiceSpace's three design principles: labor of love, work with what you have, and focus on small.  By the end, we were all in a giant group hug, swaying to Being Kind. :)



In the evening, Uma hosted a sweet Awakin Circle.  She's been hosting a local circle for a couple of years now, after she attended a powerful Awakin to Giftivism retreat few years ago.  Someone had tagged her with couple thousand rupees anonymously there, and she decided to buy big pots in which she can cook for others and host Awakins -- and lo and behold, the ripple still continues.

The next morning, Manoj (my very gracious host) lovingly took me to meditate in Matrimandir.  That was a special experience.  It turns out, at night, the neighborhood cows stroll to the front gate of this temple and sleep there.  I could feel why.
