Mohanji’s message
“Celebrate my birthday with abandoned children, children without parents, abused children, old and abandoned people, sick people, etc. Make them happy. Show them that you sincerely care. Their joy is my joy. Give them assurance, strength, support and love. Share what you have, whatever you have in abundance with those who have nothing. Do not discriminate between species. Remember, human species is just one species in this world. Rescue and take care of abandoned animals, if you have the capacity too. All these actions will create positive energy in this world…
I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your deep love and affection for me. You are my true wealth. Your love is my inspiration, oxygen and existence. Be happy. Remain love. No other emotions will give you so much power, elevation and purification. I shall never leave your hand. Make sure you will not leave my hand either. Everything that you offer to me is well received. I get it each time, every time. So, be at your place. Chant your favorite mantra with sincere devotion in your mind the whole day. Perform Mohanji aaratis which will purify your internal and external environment. Be more beneficial to the world. My happiness is when the people who love me and I love serve the world unconditionally and see me in every being. I bless you and am with you. Be rest assured.
Bless you with a good life filled with love towards all, and hatred towards none.
Infinite Love
Mohanji”

MOHANJI YOUTH CLUB
In South Africa, we started with yoga sessions at Shumbashaba (Johannesburg) every Saturday, with groups of 20 to 45 kids, aged 6 to 18. Besides postures, we learn about the importance of breath and a healthy body. We learn to hug ourselves and love ourselves. Along comes respect to others, love and compassion, gratitude and discipline. We start every class with breathing, Om and an affirmation. Momentarily, peace and silence arises. Each day transformation is truly visible. After each class, the kids are different. Now they look forward to our next classes. Out of 40 kids, if even one child gets transformed, our job is done.
On Mohanji’s birthday, Mohanji Youth Club (MYC), along with ACT South Africa, celebrated with a huge cake and a hearty vegan meal for 200 little ones after the yoga class.
At our center in Belgrade, Serbia, it is now a long term project to collect and distribute packaged food for humans, dogs, cats and birds. Our team visited a family in crisis, spent time with them and provided packaged dry foods. We celebrated Mohanji’s birthday in the close surrounding of our MYC family, bonding and preparing vegan meals.
One objective of MYC has been accomplished – we have become one true family, who love and support each other. We look forward to an even more fun filled month in March.
Infinite gratitude to Mohanji for the strength and inspiration. All activities surrendered at His feet.
HIMALAYAN SCHOOL OF TRADITIONAL YOGA (HSTY)
HSTY celebrated the birthday of our founder, Brahmarishi Mohanji’s, birthday by offering the gift of traditional yoga to people at various locations around the world. Each session brought HSTY‘s unique blend of spiritual knowledge, traditional touch and deep element of devotion to each participant, filling them with lightness and joy.
Canada team conducted a morning yoga session as part of a day-long event (A Day in Mohanji’s Consciousness). The session lasted over 2.5 hours without people realizing it! In the words of one participant, Anand Prasad, “During these exercises, Neha got me connected to my body. I could feel each part of my body from joints to muscles and could even feel the blood circulating through my entire body. To be honest, I found these yogic exercises much more rigorous yet very effective on my body as well as mind as it made me feel very light and centered. Further, it broke my false concepts that gym is better than yogic exercises and also realised that my body has become so stiff because of going to the gym. Though the yogic exercises were a bit painful for my stiff body, but Neha made it easy for us by creating a jovial environment. The progression of yogic exercises to Yoga Nidra took me deep inside and made me totally blank and silent. For almost 20 minutes, I went into silence and didn’t feel like moving or talking. Thank you Mohanji for gracing us with such activities through Neha. Jai Mohanji”
Malaysia team conducted a yoga session besides sadhana and seva activities to mark the day.
UK team conducted yoga sessions at two different locations, a corporate office and a meditation centre, catering to diverse sets of participants. The sessions began with light yogic exercises and built up through a series of asanas and pranayamas towards a Yoga Nidra. The team also shared knowledge from Patanjali’s yoga sutras to help participants understand the true meaning of traditional yoga.
South Africa team conducted a yoga session for children from ages 6 to 18. The volunteer teachers explained the importance of breath and a healthy body, besides the techniques of postures. The class started with breathing, Om chanting and affirmations. Fun elements were incorporated to keep the children engaged through the yoga session.
In India, yoga sessions were held at multiple locations. The highlight was a special yoga session in Delhi at a shelter for children. The volunteer teachers Pooja and Sanchiti conducted a fun-filled session for over 50 children. As Pooja said “These kids were such an inspiration to learn from and know more about. We felt a beautiful energy exchanged with them as we loved and hugged them. It filled us up and made us richer in sharing more love and joy. We remain ever indebted to our teachers who gave us this prasad.”

MALAYSIA
To commemorate a very special and sacred occasion – our beloved Mohanji’s birthday, the Mohanji Malaysia team organized a paadam puja and Mohanji aarati, along with the Power of Purity meditation afterwards, and then ending the day with a joy-filled, heartwarming chat and experience-sharing session. A special HSTY yoga was even conducted by one of our beloved devotees.
Speaking of seva/ service, Mohanji says, “Your spontaneous expression of kindness, compassion and love towards all beings, without discrimination, is celebration for me. If you consistently express love, compassion and kindness to all beings, including nature, it is indeed celebration for me. Then my time on Earth becomes truly worthwhile. This resonated deeply within us.
So in line with this precious life lesson and in honor of Mohanji’s birthday, together we raised some funds to purchase items of necessity for the beautiful children of HCK Home. We spent some time with these precious little ones talking about all that made them happy – from prayers just before bed, favourite things to do, a bit about school and group haircuts at the barber. With wide-eyed anticipation, one of them even asked us, “Who is more powerful? Mohanji or Jesus”. Pure happiness was evident on their faces, and this made for a truly heartwarming sight for all of us.
On a whole, it was a beautiful day doing all we did with Mohanji’s guidance and blessings. Thank you dearest Mohanji for just being there and making our souls shine.
Lots of Love from all of us in Malaysia.

Happy Birthday Mohanji and Rahul! 😍
I have no words to describe today, except that it was pure joy and lots of fun! 😇🙏
The kids prepared several amazing and moving song and dance numbers for us. They gave back before they even received. Such is the grace of a powerful upbringing in their blessed space. The sisters were encouraging, gentle and loving. I saw in their eyes, how proud they were of their girls! 😍
“Yay! May drawing book na ako!” shouted one little girl. (Yay! I have a drawing book now!) The others flocked on the books spread out, and quickly chose the ones they wanted to keep for themselves. We went there to bring them smiles, but they gave us so much more than what we brought with us. 🙏
Thank you team #MeditationGarden for your love -boundless, pure and beautiful.
Our gratitude to everyone who contributed their mind, body, heart, spirit, time and finances for today’s outreach project.

Jai Brahmarishi Mohanji
Chanting (Saptaha) at Annlin West Pretoria Centre
Day Six of chanting at Annlin West Pretoria centre concluded with much love, bliss and peace within the heart. Each chant creates a sense of deep cleaning inside where toxic emotions and karmic bindings gently dissolved. Truly a beautiful experience and blessing from Mohanji.
Day Seven of chanting at Annlin West Pretoria centre was equally powerful & as beautiful as any of the other mornings dissolved in the chanting sadhana. We felt sad to be concluding such a beautiful week of sadhana and it really created productive and beautiful moments after morning chanting each day.
This morning we begun with salutations to our Guru tradition, chanting Gayatri mantra, then one mala on Maha Mryutyunjaya mantra and one mala on Mohanji Gayatri mantra followed by Mohanji aarati. I felt refreshed, energetic and blissful after chanting. These chanting sadhanas will definitely form part of our Mohanji activities at Annlin West Pretoria where a beautiful protection of Love will be created for all Beings.
Thank You Mohanji for being in our Lives. Love You!
Bliss of Silence Meditation
Sixteen dedicated members of the Mohanji group gathered together to experience the Bliss of Silence Meditation. After the invocation prayer, we recited the Maha Mryutyunjaya mantra, Mohanji Gayatri mantra, healing mantra, followed by the meditation. Vibration at the centre is always at its peak and members are grateful for the experience. Jai Brahmarishi Mohanji Ki Jai !!
We all were excited about Mohanji’s birthday celebration and planned an evening of love, prayer and devotion.
Joint birthday celebration
We were also overjoyed that Baby Ariv and his parents would be gracing the celebration by having a joint celebration of Mohanji’s and Ariv’s 1st birthday. Sholane and Salona took us by complete surprise when they walked into the prayer area at 6pm reaching on time for the celebration.
Sholane had gifted a beautiful Shirdi Sai Baba murthi to the Ladysmith Centre, which she had bought and got blessed by Brahmarishi Mohanji in Shirdi similar to the blessed murthi she donated to the Randburg Mohanji Centre. The murthi is placed near the Lord Dattatreya photo in the temple.
Members lovingly gathered outside the temple on a cool evening as we commenced with invocation chants, Mohanji Gayatri mantra and started with 108 chants of Maha Mryutyunjaya mantra. Thereafter Ariv had offered a vegan cake to Mohanji and enjoyed pinching the icing off the cake, as he celebrated his birthday with Mohanji.
Ariv was full of energy even after a long day since his mum had taken him to the hospital and homes to do a seva where they had baked and given doughnuts and party packs to the children.
Each Mohanji Ladysmith member also conducted selfless seva in their own areas on Friday and during the week, by donating food items, good clothing and money as well as inviting people to their home and serving them food. The love of Mohanji filled the hearts of all.
Annlin Pretoria West Centre
We conducted Blossoms of Love meditation, paadam puja and Mohanji Birthday Celebrations at
In Celebration of Mohanji, Annlin West Pretoria Mohanji centre engaged in a week long sadhana of early morning chanting of Mohanji Gayatri mantra and Maha Mryutyunjaya mantra. In the spirit of selflessness and in celebration of Mohanji’s birthday, we embarked on various seva drives.
We continued by singing bhajans and Hanuman Chalisa. Shani had sang the birthday song which she had made for Mohanji last year and we all joined in while Sholane & I offered Mohanji another vegan birthday cake which she had made. The energy during Mohanji’s birthday song and aarati was so intense that a few devotees actually saw or felt Mohanji’s presence as huge as the entire front altar with His hands stretched out blessing all the devotees. We concluded with Mohanji aarati, fruit prasad and supper.
Happy birthday Mohanji!!!
Spiritual grace and devotion of a devotee begins at the Feet of Guru hence on evening of 22nd we were lost in blissful love and devotion by chanting Mohanji’s Gayatri mantra & offering rice to the feet of Mohanji (paadam puja), followed by a refreshing Blossoms of Love meditation.
Julie said she felt very relaxed and happy. Julie, Salona and I all read from the Power of Purity book and each of the paragraphs we read correlated with each other – like a direct message from Mohanji.
Ladysmith
Thereafter we were happily enroute to Mohanji Ladysmith centre to celebrate with the Ladysmith family. Usually from Soshanguve back to Pretoria one would take the N4 via R80. However in that moment my GPS system directed me via the west. I was going to turn onto the N4 then decided to flow with the GPS. Seconds later Suraj Bhai called concerned as to where we were as there was a cash in transit heist with gunmen opening fire and a bombing literally close to the N4 / R80 which we just bypassed. This again reaffirms that Mohanji is always with each of us, holding us in His divine arms of protection.
The energy of Mohanji was so high that we decided to drive through to Ladysmith taking that wonderful selfless energy of Mohanji into each town/ city on the N3 route to Ladysmith – a spontaneous SEVA DRIVE. This positive M energy travelled across four of the nine provinces in SA.
Nana who was feeling very sick said once we arrived and hugged him he was filled with energy to participate in the Ladysmith Mohanji Birthday Celebrations. We joined with Ladysmith centre and had the most awesomest Mohanji Birthday Celebrations.
Mohanji Birthday celebrations are always so fun because one starts flowing in joy and happiness and really has no idea what would happen next yet it turns out so wonderful always and all the seva food remains in abundance feeding lots and lots of people. Thank You Mohanji! Happy Birthday to You!
Shanti Sanctuary
The meditation at Shanti was absolutely transforming. With fresh enthusiasm we all enjoyed the Bliss of Silence meditation. Pin drop silence. Starting with yogic breathing, we entered into a deep state of silence, ending with a song of gratitude during MET delivery. We ended the meditation by chanting “Bless all beings” mantra. The atmosphere was divine, the ladies asked questions, we spoke about Liberation as the key teaching of Mohanji, selfless service as another aspect, the importance and relevance of a living Master in life. Also spoke about the importance of energy exchange, suggesting to donate even a rand towards service to others, as a token of gratitude for the divine group meditation. We distributed Mohanji picture cards in the end, looking forward to the next session.
An international flavour to today’s meditation with Buddhists from Congo also joining us and American neighbours also experiencing Power of Purity meditation for the first time…
Participants experienced peace and bliss and were amazed at the powerful energy that they felt coming from their hands…
We began with invocation prayers. We then did Maha Mryutyunjaya mantra chanting. We then did paadam puja. We did Power of Purity meditation. There was a wonderful and beautiful energy that enveloped us.
With joyous spirits and much excitement.. We started the day chanting Mohanji’s Gayatri mantra. Commenced at 6am and ended at 6pm. During the duration of chanting, devotees came throughout the day. Some took time off work to chant for an hour. We are so proud of Vachariya, she sat the entire 12 hours of chanting. The energy was incredibly powerful as we were reaching the end. Mohanji’s presence was quite eminent. A flower from the vase that was placed firmly suddenly tipped over. As we completed chanting, we did homa. Chanting 1000 names of Shiva for the well-being of Mohanji. Thereafter Mohanji aarati, followed by cutting the tastefully and beautifully decorated birthday cake, made by our talented Ajay. Delicious treats made with love was prepared. A great evening celebrating Mohanji’s birthday with the wonderful Mohanji Family. We were so happy to have Aunty Julie and Family join us too. Thank You Mohanji for the wonderful grace and blessings always. Jai Mohanji!!
Experience by Bhaktananda
One piece of the vegan cake was offered to Mohanji, and later on we found that he physically took two bites, it reminded me of the time he also physically ate the pasta offered at the Ashram
To celebrate the birthday of our beloved Mohanji the Datta Tapovan Ashram hosted a magical evening of bhajans, ghazals and dance. The chance to show our love as well as showcase what the Mohanji Foundation is all about and the teachings of Mohanji was encapsulated into the programme. We were blessed to have other Swami’s from within the Durban area attend the event.
We then cut Mohanji’s birthday cake and offered prasad to Mohanji. We concluded with Mohanji aarati.
The evening was well attended by members from senior citizen associations, kids and adults from different suburbs around Durban and members of the community. The magical evening opened with a prayer with our brilliant MC taking care of the programme, the first part of the show which was a dance.
We then flowed into some amazing bhajans beautifully sung by Pradeep Dhevanarain & Troupe. We then had an intermission allowing attendees to purchase items prepared by devotees from our tuckshop. This was well received and attendees enjoyed the scrumptious items prepared. The next part of the show was an absolutely inspiring and breath-taking play which showcased insights into the life of Mohanji.
The play was a combination of scene acting and amazing dancing from Bavika and Kiara. After the play we had the chance to listen to a recorded message sent from our beloved Mohanji. A message filled with the teachings and guidance which resonated through the crowd.
The evening concluded with more bhajans sung by Pradeep Dhevanarain & Troupe and during this time we had the chance to auction a beautiful Panchamukhi Hanuman deity donated by one of our devotees as well as two saris donated by the business community.
The auctions were well received and we raised an amazing amount of money for the foundation. The evening was concluded with a menacing storm that quickly dissipated into showers of blessings from Mohanji. A heartful thank you goes out to all devotees for their effort in making this show a success. Jai Mohanji!!
Bliss of Silence meditation
We commenced with invocation prayer and thereafter Bliss of Silence meditation. We then sang beautiful bhajans and the Hanuman Chalisa while we all received the great blessing of energy transfer.
A beautiful Mohanji aarati was then performed and the night ended with a small birthday celebration for Ajay. An amazing evening with beautiful energies and deep inner silence. On a weekly basis we are seeing new attendees attend the services and we welcome them into the Mohanji Family. Immense gratitude to Mohanji for allowing us to serve and be part of this amazing family.
Jai Brahmarishi Mohanji!!

Some moments from Mohanji’s birthday celebration
CANADA
TORONTO
SAPTAAH CHAANTING – A WEEK OF CHANTING… FEB 16-22
Mohanji’s birthday Celebrations in Toronto began form the 16th of February with Saptaah Chanting….an hour of chanting each night from 9 pm – 10 pm for Mohanji’s wellness. Canada and USA chanted together connecting each other via zoom for devotees. We chanted Maha Mryutyunjaya mantra for Mohanji’s good health and protection and praying for HIS long and happy life. This was a chain chanting connecting different countries like INDIA, South Africa, Australia, UK and more. Each country had a time slot so it was a continuous chant in honour of our Pujya Sadgurudev Mohanji Maharaj’s Birthday. We all looked forward to this chant and felt peace and happiness to know and feel how our Mohanji has united many beautiful souls around the world and we who may have not met physically but were chanting for the same Love – Mohanji.
BLOOD DONATION DRIVE
Many devotees came together to donate blood and offer this gift of life to the needy to mark as an offering in Mohanji’s Lotus Feet. When a devotee’s devotion reaches that height, when he realizes there is nothing but Mohanji the light, the love and the Grace with which he is blessed …..nothing more matters. Devotees came forth to donate blood on this occasion, in cold weather, being a working day they took time off but wanted to live by example by living the Teachings of Sadguru Shree Mohanji. Giving is Loving, To serve is to love and Love all Serve all….UNCONDITIONALLY and Always. Happy faces lit up with the thought that all the infinite love that they received from Mohanji, now is the time to give back to the world. Very gracefully each volunteer donated a part of their love with those who were in need. A remarkable seva, indeed. Thank you Mohanji as without Your teachings and inculcated values we would never have received this teaching of Unconditional Service and Love.
KAKAD AARATI, SHAWL OFFERING TO SAI BABA , MEDITATIONS, CELEBRATIONS AND FOOD DONATIONS
23rd February- Mohanji’s birthday was marked with offering abhishekham to Sai Baba in Sai Temple, Toronto. A shawl was offered by Mohanji Foundation Canada to Sai Baba and prasad was offered at the Mandir. It was a royal blue and copper coloured shawl very lovingly stitched and prepared by one of Mohanji’s devotees. Our Sai Baba looked mesmerizingly handsome and so happy. The smile on His face brought immense peace and satisfaction in our hearts that Mohanji is watching and has received all these offerings. Another shawl was offered in the afternoon soon after madhyahan aarati. This was a fuchsia and gold bordered shawl, so Sai Baba looked like an emperor that day. There was a very beautiful ring of light around Him and the radiance was felt by us all. To our amazement, one of the devotees shared Shirdi Sai live darshan and Sai Baba in Shirdi was wearing the same fuchsia and gold colour in Shirdi as well. This brought tears of gratitude in our eyes. Mohanji always says “Main hoon naa! I am always with you!” Yes, Canada feels Mohanji more and more with each passing moment and His Grace is received with open arms and hearts by more and more who walk into His Light. Thank you Mohanji for all the shower of grace upon us.
Lunch was sponsored by Mohanji Foundation Canada on this day in a school in Shirdi for deaf and dumb children , Shree Sai Shraddha Gramin Muk Badhir Vidyalaya. With Sai Baba’s grace and Mohanji’s blessings, we were blessed with this opportunity to offer prasad on Mohanji’s birthday in Shirdi to 150 children. It was such a blessing that even though we are in Canada, Sai Baba accepted our love and seva in Shirdi in honour of Mohanji’s birthday. Jai Sai Ram, Jai Mohanji! _/\_ The children can neither speak nor can they hear, but the Principal captured a video of them praying before lunch in their own way which was heart melting. Thank you Sai Baba. Thank you Mohanji.
Food and fruits were offered in a food bank in Toronto on this day as an offering to Mohanji’s lotus feet. Mohanji has opened our hearts and showed us the way to love and serve; and see God in all. “For the hungry, food is God” says Mohanji. He requested all devotees around the world not to spend money on delicacies and flowers and all the luxurious offerings to Him. Mohanji is always happy and receives all the seva when we are feeding the hungry, looking after the needy or sharing unconditionally. In Canada, we tried to live Mohanji’s teachings and shared this celebration with as many as we could. Thank you Mohanji for Your guidance from time to time.
100 meals were offered by our Mohanji Canada Team in Victoria BC to mark Mohanji’s birthday. With Mohanji’s grace, this centre is growing and flourishing with each day. The most amazing part is that no one from Victoria BC has still met Mohanji personally, they have consistently followed Him and His teachings on Facebook and Mohanji channels, YouTube videos and opened a centre and are having weekly meditations, HSTY yoga and many seva activities. This is a pure example that love flows far and wide, physical proximity is not necessary. They are content with all the Grace they receive form Mohanji in His subtle form and are hoping to see Him one day. Their interest in Datta tradition and Mohanji’s teachings is remarkable. Mohanji always says “ Connect to my Consciousness” HE says, “ if you take my name, I am with You, when you remember me, I am with you, where ever you are, whatever you are doing, I am always with you and will be always with you”. This is constantly felt by all of us in Canada and throughout the world. Thank you Mohanji.
Meditations were offered in BC Victoria on Wednesday Feb 21st and at 3 centers on Friday 23rd. Meditations were followed by a small celebration in each centre in their own way. There was an instance when Mohanji’s presence was strongly felt by a miracle that took place right in front of our eyes yet is not understandable to human mind. In words of a Poonam, a devotee present in the celebration,“Mohanji showed his presence, by re-lighting the candles which we kept in a thick glass bowl after taking them off from the birthday cake. After we all cut the cake, Shaloo and Manisha when offered a piece of cake to Mohanji, the candles themselves lit again and the thick glass bowl broke into pieces with His eye card falling flat on the altar. Mohanji showed His presence in His birthday celebration. Jai Mohanji! Thank you, Mohanji Gurudeva for showing your presence physically as it was desired by Your devotees.”
A DAY IN MOHANJI’S CONSCIOUSNESS
This event was a unique celebration using various powerful tools and techniques introduced by Mohanji. The day started as early as 8 am and the participants were excited as they did not know what to expect. They were informed to bring their yoga mats and also that Mohanji Foundation Canada will be introducing the latest gift blessed by Mohanji – Conscious Dancing. All were curious and wanted to taste this new technique of balancing the inner nerve centres with the help of music and motion. The program started with a welcome speech and lighting the lamp of devotion, surrender and faith in Mohanji and Sainath’s lotus feet. Soon, after the HSTY yoga session started with its unique flavour of spiritual knowledge, traditional touch and deep element of devotion in each asana/ posture and each pranayama/breathing technique. We inhaled love and exhaled gratitude. We released the stiffness from each joint and energised each cell with vibrant light and love. No one realized till they were told that the session lasted 2 hours and 30 mins. There was only liveliness and smiles all around in the room. The curiosity was building up and each participant like a child awaited for what is coming next. Soon the session wrapped up with a prayer surrendered with love and devotion and gratitude to the lotus feet of Mohanji and Sainath Maharaj and everyone headed for a nourishing vegan breakfast. On this day, everything sounded, tasted and felt sweet like nectar that was showering from Mohanji’s presence.
After the break, as the weather permitted (+6 degrees Celsius), we went for Conscious walking. There were a few new people amongst the group who were trying this meditative walk for the first time. The Conscious walking left all at peace and fresh for rest of the day. Upon return to the hall, all were requested to relax and get ready for a session of Yoga Nidra. This energised and nourished them from their tiredness and stiffness. It was amazing how Mohanji plans and how His Grace flows! The script was pre-planned but Mohanji chose a different path for these participants – a divine path that left each and every person in awe, silence and gratitude. The room was pregnant with divine love with tears were rolling down everyone’s eyes emitting and radiating only love. No one wished to speak, open their eyes or move after this mesmerizing session. The effect was profound and most of them could not feel their body. Everyone was in a stillness that was deafening. Each cell, each breath, each individual was in a different world. An unplanned break was announced to allow everyone to collect themselves. During this break we announced about Mai-Tri Healing, Healing with Mohanji’s energy. We explained how Mai-Tri healing works on the karmic level of an individual and that they can avail of this opportunity during this break as we had a few local healers present at the venue. That was a true blessing since it allowed all to settle their energies and get charged up and excited to feel and experience Conscious dancing!
Conscious dancing – a blessed technique by Mohanji and intuitively received by Deviji is such a refreshing, energising and at the same time fun bringing smiles to people’s faces. This dancing technique is a superb tool to balance our inner nerve centres (chakras) with the use of music and motion. Letting go of resistance, letting go of shyness, letting go of concepts and be free – taste freedom and feel the inner core and balance the chakras. For those who have never danced, who have always wanted to but were hesitant due to many factors were so excited that like small children they were patiently listening to the instructions given to them to be followed during the dance. They were given blind buffs that would draw them from the external to their internal view and allow them to fully feel the music and its effect on each nerve centre. Finally, all were asked to relax with another breathing technique to calm them down. The effects of this dancing was such that all felt they were young again, vibrant with energy and radiating positivity. A few shared their experience while in this state but many could not speak then as they were in a daze. But they promised that they will write down their experience once in a balanced state. . By the way, it was past 3.00 pm yet it was hard for all to get up and head for lunch. Such was the power felt in Mohanji’s grace.
Just before all were getting up, we announced a surprise for all from Mohanji….and their hearts skipped a beatJ . Mohanji was in Vaishnodevi and we requested for a 10 minute Skype “darshan” as a surprise for all. But since the network over there was not so powerful we could not do that. But our dearest graceful Mohanji out of love for all immediately said, “Can I record a message for all since the Skype is not working?” OMG, HE is so Gracious. Even though it was late in the night past bed time, 12.30 am in India, our dearest Mohanji recorded a short speech for all of us and blessed us all with His kind and loving words. That was a bonus for all of us like a cherry on top. Each word that played from the recording was a blessing – each letter felt like a petal He was showering on each one of us. What a day! Thank You Mohanji for all the grace and love that You constantly shower upon us all.
With great effort, we got up for lunch and wrapped up this beautiful memorable Day in Mohanji’s Consciousness, each one promising themselves to remain in His consciousness day in and say out. Why just 1 day? Let us all bathe inHis consciousness each and every moment. Connect, connect, connect to His Consciousness and you will always remain blissful!
SANDWICH DRIVE SUNDAY
Mohanji’s birthday celebration was marked with this last program of the week by preparing sandwiches for homeless. 153 peanut butter and jam sandwiches were prepared by dedicated volunteers without whom this seva is never possible. Some come to prepare, some distribute, some donate and some morally support. Wow, what a Family! Mohanji Family in true essence. Tirelessly, all worked at their work place but also carried on with their expression of love and service to live the teachings of our Master Mohanji to honour His birth on this planet for His people.
It is His grace that we are able to do anything. We ever remain indebted in Mohanji’s lotus feet for everything.
ECUADOR
Ecuador Team joined the global food seva for Mohanji’s birthday by making and delivering food to the poor people begging for money or recollecting recycling material. It was a blessing to express our gratitude in this way and to give our small contribution to this beautiful event.

A poem: A Guide to Eternity
O Mohanji
Beloved of my heart
Listen to me
Whenever I am in distress
Please uphold me
In my world of darkness
Be the lamp that lights up my path
Erase my ignorance
Enlighten and liberate me
My humble obeisance to you
For you are my guide to eternity.
By Natesh Ramsell from Sedona
In honor of our beloved Guru’s birthday I offer this recording at His Lotus Feet. This is a “hymn” to Lord Dattatreya written by Mohanji in Palakkad recently while I was there and I was honored to be asked to create a musical arrangement for it. Eventually there will be something a little more polished but I wanted to share this with you on this special day. “Sarvam Datta Mayam” in my understanding basically translates as “Everything is Datta.” Enjoy! Jai Brahmarishi Mohanji!
