The Divine Kodai Trip entered its third day - a day that was filled with joy rides, local outings, an enchanting Discourse and pot-breaking celebrations with the Lord.

 

The day, starting at 5:15 AM, swiftly moved through Aumkaram, Supbrabhatham and Nagara Sankeerthan. The most beautiful 'Pada Pooja' followed, which allowed everyone to have the Sparshan of the Divine Lord's Lotus Feet. Mahamrutyunjaya Homam followed next, raising the vibrations of the Bungalow and surroundings to new heights. Post breakfast, the devotees were in for a treat from the Lord! The Lord, the loving Father, provided everyone with money for them to spend in local markets to drive the local economy. The Lord is always interested in everyone's welfare, and thus He ensured that the local vendors etc. are able to have a good income during His Visit. The devotees travelled to the botanical gardens nearby, and had a joy ride in the toy train that excited the children. They next visited a chocolate museum to try out various varieties of chocolates. The devotees were next taken to a picturesque spot further up the hills. The children and elders alike enjoyed playing in the waterfalls there. The team of devotees headed back to the bungalow for lunch.

 

The evening session started at dusk, in the open lawns. Beautiful pots were hung and children dressed as Krishna took great joy in breaking the pots much like Krishna and His company of friends back in Dwapara Yuga.

 

Bhagawan next took us all into the Satsang Hall in His Bungalow for a heart warming session. A devotee explained Gajendra Moksham in detail, following which Bhagawan delivered His Divine Discourse. He expressed His happiness to see everyone in the world praying for one another during the covid times. He likened the covid situation to Gajendra Moksham where people (like Gajendra) cried to the Lord to save them from corona (crocodile). He further went on to explain how devotees need to "Follow Me (Swami)" rather than "Follow Mind". Towards the end of the nectarine Discourse, He called for all to transform themselves through commitment to seva. As the day drew to a close, Swami and His devotees had dinner together like the Father and His children in a tightly knit loving family!
