2009 06 26. Friday.

From where we chop veggies in the morning in the big hall, we can see the main stage. This morning they were showing a live Skype video feed of the Amma Atma Puja happening at some city in America. It was being displayed on a big screen on the main stage. It was very nice. At the beginning, we heard part of Amma's talk which was translated into English. Then they did the Atma Puja which is always very inspiring and powerful. The whole audience participates in the Atma Puja. Then they showed the beginning of Devi Bhava when Amma (dressed in Her colorful Devi Bhava clothes and crown) starts the all-night hugging. Definitely a special treat to see. At various points the Skype connection went down and came back up to the accompaniment of all the usual Skype sound effects. It was funny to be listening to an Amma bhajan and then suddenly hear all these distinctive Skype noises.

This evening they were showing a live video feed of the end of Devi Bhava rather doing than the usual men's bhajans. I watched for a while and then went to my room to do the 1,000 Names stotram and some bhajans and meditation.
