Guiding Light of The Month

O Lord, how ardently do I call and implore Thy love! Grant that my aspiration may be intense enough to awaken the same aspiration everywhere: oh, may good- ness, justice and peace reign as supreme masters, may ignorant egoism be overcome, darkness be suddenly illu- minated by Thy pure Light; may the blind see, the deaf hear, may Thy law be proclaimed in every place and, in a constantly progressive union, in an ever more perfect harmony, may all, like one single being, stretch out their arms towards Thee to identify themselves with Thee and manifest Thee upon earth. - The Mother

A walk with a Meaning – Sunday Walk, 5 February 2012



Mother Nature was at Her best this quaint morning. Lots of people were there in the reservoir in different stages of their day's walk.

We from the Aurobindo Society assembled for a pre walk exercise session. For a reservoir so far away, lots of members took effort to assemble this morning. The exercises loosened our muscles, and the tree pose aasan, or exercise filled my lungs the fresh air and oxygen rejuvenating the cells in me. After offering the day’s mantara, “OM NAMO BHAGAVATE SRI ARAVINDAYA SHARANAM MAMA", we started the walk.

The walk on the bridge brought in the conversations about school and the NEW academic year.

Little Sophia and Anjali stepped off the boardwalk to look at some spiders.
Walking along the Boardwalk was enjoyable as I was on the edge of water and able to observe nature and be one with the calm reservoir at the same time.

It is a place that draws you inwards. The thick dense trees had birds chirping away after a hearty breakfast. The quote, "the Early Bird gets the worm" unfolded itself in front of me , giving a new meaning to ‘TODAY'.

I walked back refreshed for the week and the month ahead that I was to face in school............
