Daaji conducted the meditation session from 9.01 am to 9.28 am in the main meditation hall. Swami Shailendra Saraswati who had been a fervent disciple of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi for a long time was on a visit to the Transcendental Meditation program and came to pay his respects to Daaji. Swamiji has an ashram in Amarkantak. That morning he and his associates attended satsangh in the main hall. Later he came home to Daaji where they had a lively conversation that went from Spirituality to Quantum Science and back. Daaji invited Swamiji to stay indefinitely in Kanha saying it would be a delight to engage with him in the future. 

There was a Zoom call with the newly appointed Working Committee of the Mission following that. Daaji shared his joy that our mission is on the verge of expanding exponentially. He was worried that we may not have enough resources to meet such a marvelous opportunity head-on.  

Daaji suggested that going ahead we must adopt a hybrid approach, to include those who can provide volunteer services as well as full-time and part-time workers to support our spiritual activities. Whoever supports us, whichever party or leader, gets on a wavelength with their local constituents, so it is but natural that they will flock to the Mission. 

We are now also gaining momentum in countries like France, the United States, Russia, and the Far East. Africa has always been on our minds since Babuji Maharaj’s time. Chariji Maharaj emphasised that we have to work though the results of the work may not be apparent for the next 50 years or so. We have to hire individuals, who are willing to go to certain countries which are safe and where there is no ongoing conflict. Let us not waste our energies in certain countries where there is a risk of any harm done to our volunteers. 

This year we will be celebrating Pujya Babuji Maharaj’s birthday anniversary, it will be celebrated throughout this on special occasions like Christmas, Diwali, Pongal, Krishna Janmashtami, Dhyan Mahotsavs, Yog Mahotsavs, etc. 

Whatever we do this year it should be under the aegis of Babuji Maharaj’s 125th birth anniversary year. It is best to host a three-day event and even if only a few people attend. It could be held in large corporations such as Microsoft, Cognizant, Infosys, and Apple where we can invite them to join a Heartfulness event on three specific days, at a specific time, and give sittings. There must be no talks, lectures, or any such things. It is best to keep the event only for meditation. 

We could also do such events in good schools and colleges. Let’s generously invite people to subscribe to the Heartfulness magazine. It is good to begin with a few people in top positions, various corporations, schools, and colleges. Ask them if their students and employees have enrolled for the Heartfulness magazine. Once a person reads an article, that they like, they will surely want to read more. 

We must remain on the lookout for good talented people who are encouraged to prepare themselves to become trainers. Some people feel shy to recommend themselves as preceptors so we have to help them overcome that inhibition or shyness. We are grateful that our mission is in this position on the verge of explosion. It will certainly expand and we have to make the most of this high tide in spirituality. 

The Ex-President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovindji was here recently and he has agreed to be the chairman of the 125th anniversary celebration committee. 

Soon we will form this celebration committee and commemoration committee and send out a list and invite many known people to be part of the committee. If you feel we can recognize any significant changemaker then please give them an honorary membership in the celebration committee. It is worth it even if they are very busy people, and unable to participate in the work of the committee, at least when they come here they will be able to appreciate the celebration.

After the Zoom call Daaji went back to his office to meet the people waiting for him before he went to rest.

Daaji met with a few practitioners in the evening which included Mr and Mrs Lufti Hassan from Guyana. He conducted meditation from 6.34 pm to 7.04 pm. Later a family from Brazil - Arnaud, Rosane, and Clara Dunand met Daaji. They live in São Paulo. Born of her French father and Brazilian mother, thirteen-year-old Clara’s story is rather unique. She began writing when she was eight years old and has published five books since then. She offered her two recently released books to Daaj: 

1. The Three Swords (written when she was 11) and 2. They Say Dandelions Make Wishes Come True (written when she was 10). 

In Brazil, she has taken part in several literary fairs and has gone to schools in the region where she lives to encourage young people to write.

The plot of her book called "The Three Swords" is as follows. 

Three young people discover that they are predestined to save the world called YAREN and they will have to learn to control their powers while fighting to stay alive. But how far can greed take us? Engaging and surprising, The Three Swords is a story of friendship, overcoming, betrayal, war, and daring.

Daaji saw the book and he was interested in her work achieved at such a young age. He asked her to write a book on spreading Heartfulness. Daaji said even if the books given by her were in Portuguese, he would make sure to read them using Google translator, and then he asked her to autograph the book and give to him. Both of them then took a photo

Daaji suggested a couple of names for the newly-born daughter of Radha & Vikram and Dhara was the name chosen. 

Later he said bye to all and then went for a short walk. After dinner, he joined the American Telegu Association online session, which can be watched using the below link:
