Return to Shanti Ashram From Parent’s India Visit
February 26, 1997
Dear Parents,
Divya conveys her namaskars! I hope by Swami’s Grace you had a pleasant and peaceful journey back to USA, and arrived safely to find your loyal car waiting for you. By the compassion of God I had a very smooth journey back to the wonderfully refreshing Shanti Ashram (God only helped me to lug the six bags from train station and two bus changes. No coolies in the villages this side!)
You can imagine my joy upon arriving at the clean and quiet ashram, after weeks of experiencing God in noise, dust, smoke and crowds! I was greeted by loving school children who would not allow me to lug the luggage uphill to the little cave-cottage. All is well here; Jnaneswari and all are fine as usual.
So! Glad you had an enjoyable trip! Coming back on the train, it all seemed like a dream that I just woke up from. But I knew it wasn’t just a dream when I began to unpack the bags! Organizing took three days, in-between writing 700 magazine addresses, going to satsang and greeting Ashramites.
Due to God's Grace, I am healthy and so very content and relieved to be back in simple environs with pure and innocent loving souls, especially the close and careful care of Jnaneswari.
Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu!
Love,
Divya

Hours in Silence
March 12, 1997
Dear Parents,
It is wonderful to sit hours in silence, with no people around, with cool breezes and hearing only chirping birds and falling leaves. Yes, this is the place for me. Hope you’re well and happy there. :-)
Loka Samastha Sukhino Bhavantu.
Love,
Divya

Method Of Loci
Have you ever wondered how a blind person sees? Not their surroundings but in their mind, the place most sacred to anyone. Where they keep memories, ideas, dreams, fears, nightmares and where they let their imagination roam free. We with sight, see things in still photos or moving pictures from memories, or other references that we see everyday. Framing our mind into something that's usually the same as most of the population, something conformed. We see the same colors the same movements, the same designs. We may all think differently but we all see the same, both on the outside and the inside. Not Eliot because he was born blind, never seen a thing in his whole life, that is until the satellites appeared giving him vision and the whole world new possibilities. *** Apocalyptic setting. Game-like elements. Atleast two chapter a week
