I have been on a marathon tour, my 23rd
Annual Global Tour, touching so many hearts around the world. Life indeed is
such a celebration when you have the opportunity to share the gifts that you
have and see the joy in others.
Baba speaking at Monterrey Tec in Mexico
at 70th Anniversary Celebration
My first stop was Chicago, USA and then we were off to Mexico
for four days of hectic tour. The highlight was the talk at the Monterrey Tech
as honored guest speaker for their 70th Anniversary Celebration in a
beautiful outdoor auditorium. It was a great blessing for the students and
faculties. The rest of the time I was busy visiting and sharing at different
villages and also gatherings in different cities of Mexico.

inspiring them to stay in school, and success is theirs!
In Costa Rica I was blessed to see the living Volcano Pousa in
the morning about 25 km from San Jose, Costa Rica, at an altitude of 2540
meters. I just can't explain in words the miracle that happened there!! It was
all covered with fog and clouds, people wait for hours, but i just looked up to
the Mother and said, Oh! Mother! Lift the veil for your child waits to see your
vibrant form in the living Volcano! Lo! In a couple of minutes the cloud
started to clear off, and it was the most awesome experience to see such a huge
crater and rising steam from the mouth of the volcano!!

After that in the evening I had a very vibrant interaction with
the students and faculties of the National University of Costa Rica, Believe
me, Costa Rica is just an amazing country in the world. The spiritual vibration
is so strong due to Mother Earth's vibrant presence there!! A group of students
and seekers accompanied me to Tapanti, the most fascinating rain forest, with a
waterfall that soothes your heart, and the kind of vegetation that I have never
seen in my life. We had a retreat practicing Yoga and Mindfulness, Meditation
and Pranayama. Oh! What a healing experience. When we were leaving the place
many came to me to personally thank me and say that their life is now changed
forever!! Nature heals. Meditation takes you to your inner pristine nature and
as your mind calms down, you become natural and enjoy the delight of the Soul.

On the way to the airport in Costa Rica I was blessed to be able
to speak for about 10 minutes on Channel 9 National News Morning Show about
Stress Management and how we all need to relax, watch our breath and be human
Beings, and not just human doings.

I then returned to Chicago, and did a Talk at Yoga Rhythms on my
new e-book, Cleaning the Mirror of Mind, Clutter Free Home, Clutter Free Mind.
Had a wonderful trip to Madison, WI, and a grand opportunity to present at the
University of Wisconsin, the Premier Institution of Research on Mindfulness.
The talk was on "Mindfulness and Meditation". At the time of
meditation there was nothing but stillness as if time stopped for every one!
The responses from the participants were touching, for they said, it gave them
the deepest experience of their inner life.

Oh! What a joy to share the delight of your heart when your
heart is singing the praise of the Divine that is within and without. In
Chicago had the most profound Satsangs with true seekers of inner Light, and
feel that our hearts and souls rejoice most when we are connected to eternal
Source. I feel increasingly the hunger in the souls of many, many people around
the world to reach to that calm state within which is the Home and ground of
our eternal Joy.
This visit to US, Mexico, Costa Rica was indeed very significant
for I had the golden opportunity to interact with global youth communities in
the best of Universities of each country. The last two days was busy lecturing
at the Notre Dame and also Grand Valley State University in Grand Rapids. MI.

The students all over the world are so much stressed and most often not
connected to their inner Self and I saw how they were soaking the Divine
vibrations when I took them through guided meditation. They need to be reminded
of their breath, of their right brain that needs their attention! Yes, that is
what I do, remind them of the simple things that they have yet are forgetful as
much as the rest of humanity. What a joy to be an instrument of the Divine and
serve humanity!!

Now I am back to India with such deep sense of gratitude for all
of those who helped me to reach out and touch the hearts of so many souls, as I
hope, as a humble instrument of the Divine, to reach out to all of you again
soon!
Love and Blessings! Baba
