A Tale of GraceTo the Hackers.
Dearest Friends and Family, The blog has been down for some time, but Anand, our genuis Whizz Kid, has managed to get it up again. I’m posting the entry we wrote for Guru Poornima after this. There was a pornography problem, then the site had crashed.  To those who want to destroy the efforts […]
That Sabari, Shiva, Rumors and other things
Dearest Friends and Family, We have to offer our apologies to your eyes and sensibilities. Apparently some brilliant but mischief oriented mind filled this blog with pornographic links. We trust that the problem is now over. One wonders at how people are spending their time on this earth – seeking to hurt or damage others […]
Thomas a Kempis
Dearest Friends and Family, We find these words to be very inspiring for us right now, and wanted to share them all with you, so you can see how they are for you. It is meant to be a dialogue between Jesus, as the ideal, since he was no longer around physically, in the normative […]
O Day of Days
Dearest Friends and Family,            Today marks one solar year here, in this very heavy and dense world of awareness. We can’t say Anni left. We can’t think like that. But, we know that we are very grateful to all of you who held her in your hearts and prayed for her. It was indeed […]
Dearest Friends and Family. I wanted to discuss Sabarimala and gender equality. Since coming to the Ashram we learned about Sabarimala. It’s a place of pilgrimage in Kerala– meant to be the hill that Lord Rama went to eons ago. Rama had an old lady devotee, named Sabari who was far outside his ‘inner circle’. […]
Our Lenten Season
Dearest Friends and Family, May 29 marks the day when we moved to San Ramon. This was the last phase of Anni’s earthly life. For us, it feels to be sacred time. Her suffering was so intense. So, So, So INTENSE. We feel we have to make some small sacrifices. For us, it is a […]
Anni’s Birthday and Vows
Dearest Friends and Family,            I have been meaning to write. Anni’s birthday was on Sunday, April 20th. She would have been twenty years old. I remember the day she was born. It was a cold April day, in Connecticut, USA. There were still chunks of snow around – at that time of year, the […]
More from Anni’s Diary
Dearest Friends and Family, We found these interesting little notes in some of Anni’s school books. These may have been SMS messages that inspired her, for she wrote them down. She doesn’t state the author, but, that was not her concern, the inspiration was: The present is our own Live, love and toil with a […]
Jyoti Joy-Joy
Dearest Friends and Family, A dear little bird, they are called sunbirds here, has come into our lives. She was a victim of a crow attack and was brought to us a few days ago by some students who rescued her from the fracas in their dining hall. We feel somehow she is of our […]
Siva and Amar Seva Sangham
Dearest Friends and Family, Back to the story with Shiva – Let it suffice to say, that by God’s grace he is now in a school in Tamil Nadu, called Amar Seva Sangham. There is a dear devotee here, who had sponsored a child there for years. Knowing of the place, she contacted them and […]
