June
walk this month was at East Coast Park, a much loved walk venue for all of us.
After many months, Auropriya and I managed to make the morning walk along with
Anushna who was very excited to ‘go near ocean’.
I
always find these walks a great reminder of how important exercise and in
particular getting out into nature early in the morning is to our health and
wellbeing. For Anushna as well, such exposure at a young age is great for her
development. The Mother herself once said, “for a good many bodily defects can be rectified and many malformations
avoided by an enlightened physical education given at the proper time”.
We
walked along the coast and looking out at the sea with all the ships docked is
always a pleasant sight. There were many others working out this morning, which
was a great motivation for all of us. Our route towards the city and back was
particularly challenging especially on the way back given it was a pretty warm
and sunny day, but as a group the spirits were very high and we all completed
the walk on time. A few other families and friends joined along the way making
it for a sizable group and healthy turnout for the walk by the end.
We
were joined this month by a few new faces namely Mr. Ram Chandrasekhar, M/s Madhavan & Family who are long
term devotees who we warmly welcomed into the Aurobindo family in Singapore.
Post
the walk we were hosted this month by Popat Bhai and family. Vrunda, Anand and
family who are always very warm and gracious hosts and this time was no
different. After the meditation, prayers and reading of birthdays and
anniversaries, we cut a cake for the June babies. This was particularly special
for Anand, Vrunda and family as it is Shiv’s birthday in June.
This
was followed by a sumptuous brunch of Thai food, which was a unique change of
cuisine that was very well loved by all in attendance.
