The Sri
Aurobindo Society Singapore has been holding a morning walk open to members and
friends on the first Sunday of every month.
This activity has been regularly done since 1985 without a single
break. The one held on Sunday 1st
March 2015 was Walk No. 355.
A group of
around twenty persons met in a very beautiful part of Singapore – an open space
near Costa Rhu Condo at the junction of Rhu Cross Road and TanjongRhu View
Road. The weather was somewhat windy and
absolutely perfect for a nice walk.
We started with
the whole group making a circle and doing several routine exercises, ably led
by Saurab Nair. Then after a group photo
we started our walk from that spot towards the Sports Hub Complex some distance
away.
This was indeed
a beautiful walk. We were in an area
where there was much water around us and we could see some people rowing boats.
The Sports Hub
is a very large and beautiful complex.
It was indeed a pleasure and good experience for members to experience
walking and going through its various facilities.
I had the great
pleasure to meet Mr. Ramadoss in this walk.
He is new to the Society and we together left the rest of the group and
enjoyed the walk at our own pace. I
found Mr. Ramadoss a very knowledgeable and interesting person who was deeply
immersed into the works of Sri Aurobindo and The Mother. So throughout the walk we thoroughly enjoyed
each other’s company and mutually sharing discussions on Indian spiritual
thought.
We then
proceeded to the house of our host in the Waterside Condominium – Mr. Tapan
Kumar and Mrs. Prabha Rao. Several
members and friends who did not join the walk came directly to the home. As usual we started the programme with
meditation followed by birthday and other announcements.
The brunch
arranged was indeed very sumptuous with a delicious touch of Bengali style food
superbly home cooked by Prabha and her two daughters.
The Society has
four quarterly Mangement Committee Meetings viz December, March, June and
September. These are normally held at
the host’s place of the morning walk. So
after the brunch we all adjourned to another room and had our Meeting.
The whole
programme was highly enjoyable with many thanks to our wonderful hosts.
