A good start

With burning, tanned skin and an aching body, I am sitting at the computer writing this. I had beem to the 'Manori beach' yesterday with my divine brothers. I was surprised to see only two of us at the gathering point, as we had expected many more. The two of us then, headed towards the beach where we were suppposed to meet the others. The cool breeze, rising sun and the morning-freshness made the journey to beach extremely pleasant.

On the way, we could see many groups returning after the night's celebrations. On reaching the other end via a boat, we met our brothers. We then, reached the beach after passing through a village. On the way, 'Sagar Putras' (divine fishermen) joined us as soon as they came to know about the arrival of their divine brothers. Everything then became easy as who else could have been a better guide?

The first thing that we did was quite obvious - breakfast. To a brother's suggestion, we played kabaddi then, which injured many including me. While a 'Sagar Putra' went home to fetch some water fore us, we sat down and 'bhav-geet' began eventually. It was then followed by a series of cricket matches that everyone enjoyed.

The cricket matches left everyone tired and hungry too. It was around 1 p.m. then. Obviously, lunch followed. The lunch began with the 'prarthna' and ended with empty lunch-boxes. As everyone was tired but still wished to play cricket, we played 'box-cricket' then.

After a few dips into the sea, a 'Sagar Putra' asked us whether we would like to visit the 'Prarthna Mandir'. Everyone's delight was clearly visible on the faces and no words were required to respond. The 'Prarthna Mandir' was extremely simple yet beautiful. We prayed and sang a 'bhav-geet' there. To our much delight, our eyes saw the 'Matsyagandha' then. I was not able to believe that my long cherished dream had come true.

Followed by a cup of tea and an invitation to be on 'Matsyagandha' we returned home filled with enthusiasm, pride and divinity.

Isn't it a great beginning of the year?
