1. Aum Sai Ram SESYA :: Nov – 2009 :: Regional YA Update

2. Photo #1 :: One with SAI :: “Action!” 1. Ask oneself: Would one not work together, with the rest of one’s own family members for a common goal like a grand wedding or … even a funeral …leading up to it – irrespective of other commitments on the same date – chipping in their bit? 2. Remind oneself That the real essence of the Pilgrimage is in participating in the ~11 month pre-Pilgrimage Self-Transformation efforts within the Region, together with the rest of Sai family of the Region – whether one may or may not be able to attend the physical 11 day trip to the Lotus Feet of the Divine. …the trip celebrates wedding of the ‘individual’ with the ‘infinite’ which would be a direct consequence of shedding of all negativity during the journey... 3.

In the dream, several of the devotees (from our region) were singing in what looked liked the Hill View Stadium. At the end of the Orchestra/Music Program, Swami had personally blessed several of the singers and musicians! And it almost seemed that the effort of everyone on the Pilgrimage Music Team to create the embellished songs on the 17th (?) was immediately immensely blessed! Feels so inspiring to be part of this beautiful team which is all full of pure Love for Swami.” “Around the 18th Oct, one of the fellow YA brothers shared a dream about Swami he had the previous night.
