This was
the best Diwali celebration I've had that I can remember. It was filled with light and not just from the
hundreds of candles we lit in the meditation hall and around the entire ashram but light also from deep within.
I felt the darkness diminishing inside and I could sense my soul begin to
glow. And it was so beautiful sensing this inside myself as well as seeing the
light shining from those around me. The day was filled with a charged energy
and it ended aptly with fireworks at the world temple site (read more about this amazing building to open on 12.12.12 here: http://www.aurovalley.com/index.php/aurovalley-ashram/world-temple) followed by Om chanting. However I was given another beautiful gift after I came back to my room. Diana (Colombian woman who basically runs this place with Swamiji - she's been here 10 years)
called me to wish me a Happy Diwali and to tell me I have a sweet presence
which she thanked me for. It was so unexpected and so lovely to hear. My heart
is light to today in every sense of the word. I am grateful for this beautiful life.
Some pictures from last night (and general ones) not taken by me since my camera was not working. Enjoy!
