The week that was! Madhuram Madhuram rocks:

2nd June 2015: Strange but true, previous visits to the Island nation invariably coincided with Vesak, hailed as Buddha Purnima, This time no exception. The bonus was the opportunity to lead a delightful Full Moon meditation and share Gurudev's wisdom at a venue beside Lankan sea shore. There's nothing more beautiful than the way the ocean refuses to stop kissing the shoreline, no matter how many times it's sent away! Our thoughts are no different!
The smiles we carried from the AMP participants were priceless as they happily swayed to the beats of the newly released bhajan "Madhuram Madhuram".

5th June 2015: The Karamadai Ranganath Mandir satsang was overwhelming in devotion. The newly built Raja Gopuram (Temple tower) in seven levels beside the satsang venue was majestic. Reminded the audience that a disconnect with a cell phone tower is nothing serious; but the spiritual connect with the mystic tower has to remain uninterrupted! The evening ended with the waves of Vol 7 bhajans holding sway.

6th June 2015: Deeply appreciative and beholden to the numerous birthday messages today.
The day was spent in a rural belt away from cell phone towers! The on-stage interaction with the well known folk singer- composer duo Dr.Vijaylakshmi-Navneet Krishna was memorable. The couple served as Professors in the Department of Folk Arts and Culture in Madurai University and have recorded more than 10,000 audio albums of authentic folk music.

  1. Arunji -- Greetings from Sri Lanka. We continue to be mesmerized and enthralled by Madhuram Madhuram . I gave the CD to an Indian friend in the Tea Trade and he called me yesterday to say what a wonderful experience listening to your bhajans. He has become a great fan of yours. Please do visit Sri Lanka more often and help us take AOL to greater heights in this island of paradise.
    Warm Regards,
    Lakshmanan.
