Meeting Dadi Janki, visiting Jain Temples and Sound Spa with Brother David - what a blessed day it was yesterday! No doubt it will be one of the most memorable days of this trip.
Dadi Janki is 101 years old, she is one of the two Yogis who lead the Brahma Kumaris - a woman-led organisation. She gave us a class in the morning and the night before had led us in meditation. Dadi walked into the hall and one could clearly feel the energetic vibration increase, noting that there were already over 200 of us present! One cannot help but have great respect for this remarkable soul who is an example of the power of honouring one's spiritual being in this physical world.
The ancient Jain Temples are in the middle of Mount Abu town's hustle and bustle and still has daily worshipers, as it contains altars to many deities. Exquisitely and intricately carved marble is all over, the ceilings and pillars and walls - unfortunately no cameras are allowed inside. Built from the 11th to the 13th century it is breathtaking and I cannot imagine what was used to achieve such beauty and accuracy. The temples are monumental works of art, the energy in the place is just wow! Tourists are permitted in the afternoon and so it was a much quicker visit than I hoped with all the people flowing through the temples.
Our day ended with a Sound Spa, with Brother David who played many instruments for us - wooden flute, didgeridoo, various indigenous instruments from different parts of the world and singing bowls. Oh the singing bowls - i could feel my body vibrating and wanting to fly away. What a fantastic way to end our day. I will be checking if I can take a cd home.
