On the way home from a recent trip to China I got to watch the moon out my window nearly the whole way home.

We were incredibly fortunate to have the presence of Paramahamsa Vishwananda during the Christmas season at Shree Peetha Nilaya Ashram in Germany. On Christmas Eve, we enjoyed a lovely evening meal together, which included many inspiring talks. Guruji spoke about the importance of not wasting time and to celebrate one's life.
Christmas day was also filled with a family vibe inviting everyone to get together and eat a delicious meal put together by the wonderful kitchen team. Talks were given and Swami Revati spoke about the importance of the Satguru.
At the end of the year, we had a gender split Darshan, which means there were Darshans just for men and another just for women. Guruji had spoken about the importance of coming together and setting up bhajan groups as well as the importance of not being lazy. Laziness is a quality that stagnates oneself on any path, be it material or spiritual and so one should not waste the preciousness of life.
On New year's Eve the Bhakti TV had again delivered an incredible programme filled with insights and talks from guests in house as well as those abroad. Kirtan interludes were given and those attending were able to enjoy the show whilst enjoying a few snacks. The night continued into the temple where rocking kirtan filled the air from 9pm up until midnight. The first arati of the year was given by our Paramahamsa Vishwananda. Everyone then moved to the upper field to enjoy a wonderful fireworks display and finally the night concluded with an incredible DJ set given by Rishi Amaranimai das where people danced to the name of God with Psy trance music.
The following day was of course the new year celebration where Guruji had performed abhishek on his personal deities. At the same time Sathya Narayan Puja was also conducted. Guruji had concluded the prayer with a talk on how one must learn to accept the will of God and that all is for one's own good.

I am back in the land of computers!!!!!
Steve had a mad moment on Friday and decided to tidy the office. It then developed in to "why don't we just paint the room" and then "why don't we just get a new carpet too"!!
As we both work at home there is a lot of furniture, equipment and paperwork in the office so it has been like musical chairs painting round the furniture.
Only problem is, the carpet doesn't come until next Tuesday so we cant put everything back yet.
So we now have two rooms in complete turmoil for another week.
And we will have to be without computers for a couple of days next week as well.
It looks so much better and of course we had to get new curtains too!!
Photos to follow when all back to normal.
Steve was glad to get back to work today for a rest :-)
