Jun 19: Guru – The Sorcerer’s Stone?

The Nama Sankirtan was led by Nainar Mohamed and family from Mountain View, California.
This was followed by a talk by Narayanan from Boston.

We have been starting our satsangs by talking about the glory of satsang over the past few weeks and hence I thought we will talk about that, today too.
In Srimad Ramayana we see people with different characteristics. One is Sugreeva who is terror stricken at the thought of his brother Vaali. His life is in danger as Vaali can kill him any moment and he hides to save himself. He had lost all his materialistic possessions [his share of the kingdom] On the other side of the spectrum is Ravana. He was one of the most learned person, adept in shastras and a very powerful ruler indeed. This is at the beginning of Ramayana. However at the end of Ramayana, we see that Sugreeva is the ruler of Kishkinda and he leads a happy life. On the other hand, Ravana dies a miserable death. The main difference to note is that Sugreeva had Hanuman has his pal and that bought all the fortune for him, whereas Ravana set fire to Hanuman’s tail, thereby insulting the Bhagavatottama. He got rid of all the satsangs that he had destroyed Vibishana’s kingdom. These acts verily lead to the downfall of Ravana. The company of Sadhus and taking a refuge in the holy feet of Sadguru and not insulting any Bhagavatottama will keep one happy in this life and beyond.

Then, who is a Guru?  Anyone who shows us the Lord is verily the Guru. There are many different Gurus illustrated in our scriptures.
It would be surprising to note that even Kamsa and Sukracharya were Gurus?  How?  It was Kamsa who showed the place of Lord Krishna to Akrura and created an opportunity for Akrura to meet Lord Krishna, although his intent was to slay Krishna.  That way, Kamsa becomes Akrura’s Guru.  During Vamana Avatara, when Lord Vamana comes to the place of King Bali’s sacrifice, Sukracharya, the preceptor of King Mahabali, warns the King ‘Hey Vairochana! this young lad is none other than Hari. Beware!’.  By showing the Lord to King Bali, Sukracharya becomes a Guru.

But who is a Uttama Guru?  Some say that the Uttama Guru is like a sorcerer’s stone.  A sorcerer’s stone is one that when brought into contact with any object turns that object into gold.  But Mahans beg to differ.  The object may turn into gold. However that very object cannot be used to turn other objects into gold.  Whereas in the case of a Uttama Guru, by a mere touch, a Uttama Guru can turn his disciples into Jnanis and the chain does not stop there.  The disciples can turn other disciples into Jnanis by their touch.  Now, do we see why a Uttama Guru cannot be compared to a sorcerrer’s stone?

There was a pious brahmin couple who lived in the state of Andhra Pradesh, whose family had been continuously doing ‘Soma Yaga’ (Soma Yaga is a particular sacrifice that has been advocated in our scriptures for all brahmin householders).  It was said that when he had completed a hundred soma yagas, the Lord Himself will be born to them.

This couple had shifted to Varanasi to earn their living, for he was a Vedic scholar and Varanasi was the seat of Vedic education during that time.  It was the time of Muslim invasions in India and often dacoits and looters came in horses and scared the lives out of the residents.  During one such attack, fearing for life, the couple moved into a forest.  The wife was bearing the aforesaid god-child in her womb as they made their way into the forest.  One night, in the middle of the forest, the wife gave birth to a beautiful boy.  There was no help to reach out to, and it is said that the animals and other natural forces verily guarded the child after it was born.   They named the child “Vaishvanara” (Vaishvanara is the name of Agni – the God of Fire, which was their primary deity worship).

Vaishvanara grew up to be a great scholar in his later life and came to be called by everyone as Sri Vallabhacharya.  Sri Vallabhacharya has written commentaries on the Upanishads and various other scriptures.  His commentary on Srimad Bhagavatam – called as “Subhodini” is till date, considered as one of the best commentaries of Srimad Bhagavatam till date.  He propounded the path of worship known as “Pushti Marg” and had temple establishments in various places, including Allahabad and Brindavan.

Krishnadas was one of the disciples of Sri Vallabha.  Sri Vallabha had appointed Krishnadas as the Manager of the Srinathji temple in Mathura he founded.  Sri Vallabha instructed Krishnadas that only the best of the best products be offered to the deity.  This, Krishnadas, took as the initiation of the Guru and followed it in word and spirit.  Even today, the betel leaves for the deity come from Vellore in Tamilnadu (which is known to produce the best betel leaves in the country), water from the Yamuna is brought to this place daily and saffron from Kashmir is flown to the temple on a daily basis!

Once Krishnadas was going on a horse carriage to Mathura to get groceries for the temple when he heard a melodious music coming from somewhere.  He was so much drawn to the music that he asked the carriage driver to halt. Later, he asked that the carriage be driven towards the source of the music and finally, he reached a place where a beautiful maiden was singing in a melodious voice and dancing in front of a few rich people.

Krishnadas sat mesmerized by the elegance of the maiden’s dance and the melody of her voice.  He felt there could not be a greater vocalist and dancer than her in the whole world.  He approached her after the dance and learned that her name was Ranjani.

He remembered his Guru’s instruction and told Ranjani, ‘Ranjani! will you dance in front of my Master?’

Ranjani immediately turned down Krishnadas’ request – ‘I don’t come outside to dance. Ask your Master to come here!’

‘My master wouldn’t come. But I assure you, you will be very satisfied after having danced in his presence.’

Ranjani, ‘Well!  Will your master pay me enough? I demand a large sum when I perform outside.’

‘Don’t every worry about it. My Master is extremely affluent. No one in this world is as rich as him, so much so that, the Goddess of wealth herself is at his feet!’

Ranjani said, ‘I don’t dance in front of oldaged people. Is your master handsome enough?’

Krishnadas said, ‘My master is the most handsome person on earth! He is like a million cupids put together, and he is ever a young man in his sweet-sixteen.’

Ranjani asked, ‘Is your master a rasika (conneisseur)? I will be really upset if my audience cannot appreciate and enjoy my music and dance and hence will not perform if he is not a rasika.’

Krishnadas immedately said, ‘My master is the greatest conneisseur of music and dance. He is ‘akhilakalaadi guru’ – the master of all arts!

Having convinced Ranjani, Krishnadas took her along with him to the temple.   When Ranjani asked him to take her to his master, Krishnadas pulled open the screen that kept the deity of Lord Krishna from her… and lo! Ranjani was speechless when she gazed at the divine beauty of the Lord.

She immediately started singing and dancing.  Her performance for the ‘Master’ was extra-ordinary that particular day and went on for a long time. With bhaava filled in her dance and music, her performance reached a cresendo. Eventually, as she finished her performance, in a lightning flash, she went into the sanctum and merged into Lord Krishna.

Within a single performance in front of the Lord, that very state that Mirabai had attained, by merging into the Lord of Dwaraka; that very state that Chaitanya Mahaprabhu had attained by merging into Lord Jagannath of Puri, Ranjani had attained, inspite of the fact that Ranjani did not even perform a fraction of the devotion that the Mirabai and Mahaprabhu had performed all their lives! – The only reason being the fact that she was shown the Lord by Krishnadas, who as the disciple at the feet of the Uttama Guru Sri Vallabhacharya.

Vallabhacharya had many such disciples who have delivered so many souls by their mere presence and touch.

Poojya Poornimaji surprised the satsang by her presence and talked about the path of complete surrender to god. She is currently visiting Australia for satsangs.

We all have numerous questions that we want to have cleared when we have our Guru Maharaj’s darshan, don’t we? I happened to read a nice incident in the life of Bhagavan Ramana in this connection, which I am happy to share in this satsang.

Muruganaar is the disciple of Ramana who, today, is the person behind bringing out all of Bhagavan Ramana’s works to light.  Once, Muruganaar when in the presence of Bhagavan Ramana, put forth a bunch of questions to Bhagavan.  ‘How come I have so many doubts’, asked Muruganaar. Bhagavan replied that it was common to have doubts even if one is in the abode of the Sadguru and that is because of the fact that one has not reached the point of complete surrender.

In this context, Bhagavan Ramana narrates the story of Sanatkumaras.  This is slightly different from the one we find in Srimad Bhagavatam, but nevertheless, conveys the idea very well.

‘Once Sanatkumaras had numerous doubts which they wanted to get clarified. Firstly they reached Vaikunta, the abode of Vishnu. Seeing Vishnu along with His divine consort Lakshmi, they felt that being a householder, Vishnu would not be the right person to answer their questions.  So they moved on and decided to meet Lord Shiva to pose their questions.

Knowing beforehand that the Kumaras would turn Him down if he was with Goddess Parvati, Shiva took the form of a young man and penance under a banyan tree.  The Kumaras approached Dakshinamurthy and decided to stay there until their doubts were cleared.  They sat in front of Lord Dakshinamurthy and started firing their questions.  Patient as he was, Lord Dakshinamurthy answered their questions one by one, and this went on for about a year.  Although time passed by, there was no sign  of cessation of doubts and questions.  Sanatkumaras kept volleying their doubts.  A year passed and Lord Shiva decided, ‘There is not going to be an end for this. Let me go into meditation.’.  Thinking so, He went into deep meditation and enquiry.  This very dynamic silence created peace and bliss in the Sanatkumaras.!

When Bhagavan  Ramana completed the anecdote, Muruganaar looked extremely addled. He said, ‘But Bhagavan, I have never heard of a story that Lord Dakshinamurthy spoke volumes to Sanatkumaras! I have heard of Lord Dakshinamurty as a guru in silence always! This story sounds so new to me!’

Bhagavan Ramana smiled at Muruganaar and exclaimed, ‘True! It is not found in the Puranas, But that is what happened!’

Having narrated this incident from Bhagavan Ramana’s life, Poornimaji added,

‘The very silence of the Guru explains it all. ‘Gurostu Maunam Vyaakhyaanam’.  Seeing this in conjunction with the story in Srimad Bhagavatam reveals a very interesting fact…

What is the story in Bhagavatam?  The Sanatkumaras long to cherish and behold the beauty and bliss of the Almighty Lord Vishnu and reach the gates of Vaikunta.  At the entrance, they are stopped by the gatekeepers Jaya and Vijaya, and they are cursed. The story goes on…

Now, what do we see?  Initially, when the Sanatkuamaras saw Lord Vishnu, although He was the Lord Almighty, they saw Him only as a householder!

Then after they acquired the supreme knowledge at the feet of their Guru Lord Dakshinamurthy and have been recipients of the Guru’s grace they longed to behold the beauty and cherish the bliss of the same Lord Vishnu, whom they considered a mere householder earlier!

Without the grace of the Guru, even if you meet God face to face, you will not realize the grace and Glory of the Lord.  It is only with the Guru’s grace that you can realize God.

The satsang ended with prayers and Namasankirtan.

Feb 20: Importance of Satsang

Feb20’09 Telecon Satsang Blog-Roll

The telecon satsang started with NamaSankirtan led by Zivanji and Yaminiji from Boston. About 20 families dialed in for the teleconference. Followed by brief introductions, Poojya Poornimaji gave a blissful satsang talk.

“Being Ekadasi, it is the most fitting day to have satsang.

We have been hearing time and again that by singing the Divine names of the Lord on the auspicious days like Ekadasi and Dwadasi, the merits that we accrue are much more than what we would, on normal days. It is very rare to be in a satsang and it is rarer indeed to sustain a satsang.

There are two pishachas (demons), who stop or deter people from attending satsangs. They are specifically called as “karna oishachas”. They come and stand right next to our ears and start talking to us. One of them would start saying that we have been attending satsangs in a regular manner and it is okay to not attend a satsang to take care of some mundane affair. Whereas the other pishacha (devil) would say that “Oh My God, You have been attending satsangs for a long time. If you continue to attend so many satsangs, then your mind will get spoilt!!

The first one would ask us to postpone attending satsangs whereas the second one would just ask us to stop. It is to be said that people who have been attending this satsang as well the organizers of this satsang are oblivious of these two demons and the Friday satsangs are being conducted without fail. This clearly shows the grace of our Guru Maharaj. When we have Guru’s grace then nothing can stop us from attending satsangs.

One is called a devotee of Lord if he makes an effort to attend satsangs in spite of his tight schedule in his/her worldly life. That marks a difference between a devotee of a Lord and someone who is leading a normal mortal life. Our great saint Periyavachan Pillai Swami, in one of his commentaries says it is very easy to differentiate a person who is a devotee of the Lord and who is not. Both of them will have some worldly ties. It does not mean that a devotee of the Lord will not have any worldly ties. But the difference is that the moment a devotee of the Lord hears of an impending satsang, he will immediately adjust his/her worldly schedule in order to attend a satsang.

There are many things that are very rare and the rarest of rare is the birth as a human being. Every Mahatma has agreed to the fact that it is indeed a rare thing to be born as a human being. But the rarest of them is that we have to thank the Lord for bestowing us with a human body. “Dhanyoham Krishna tava krupa PAthroham”
Krishna, I can’t show my gratitude when I think of your immense compassion.
Tava Krupaya Krishna Manusha Dehavanaham
Tava Krupaya Krishna Anga Purnoham
It is out of your sheer compassion and grace that I have been blessed with a human birth and all my limbs being intact (‘Anga purnoham’). We need to thank the Lord every moment for what he has bestowed us with. Our Mahatmas don’t stop here. Rare indeed is to have a human birth and rarest is to be in a satsang.

They say that it is not easy to be in a satsang. But there is something rarer than satsang. In Srimad Bhagavatham Videha Maharaja Nimi says,
“Durlabho Manusho deho dehinam shana banguraha
thatrapi dhurlabham manyae vaikunta Priyadarshanam”

He says that rarest is to get the darshan of someone who is a Jeevan Muktha and who is a devotee of Lord Krishna. And one should be immensely blessed to have the opportunity to serve a Mahatma in some way and it is indeed the rarest of the rarest.

Mahatmas say “Koti Janma Punya sadhana sadhyam”
“Govinda Dasa Mandala dasyam”
It is not easy to get a chance to serve a great saint, who is a realized soul. They are purna be themselves. One should call himself/herself blessed if one’s service or offering is accepted by saints. We should not let pride settle in us once we start to render any service to Lord’s devotee. We should understand that we are fortunate to be chosen by the Lord and the Mahatma to be of some service to him. We should be grateful to them for accepting our service. The moment the mahatma accepts our service or offering, we instantly get associated with the Lord and this very association is enough for them to liberate us from the cycles of transmigration.

In the life-history of the great Acharya Sri.Ramanuja, let us take one incident. He had visited Tirupathi. It was not an easy attempt to climb the hill to have the darshan of the Lord in those days. This dates back to about thousand years. While he was visiting Tiruapthi to have a darshan of Lord Balaji, he found that there was no body to offer flowers to the Lord. There was nothing adorning the Lord and this really pained him a lot. When he came back to his home town, he called all his disciples who were very loving to their guru, Sri Ramanujacharya. He asked if one of them would offer themselves to perform service to Lord of Thirupathi, by growing a garden to offer a garland of flowers to the Lord every day which should not stop for even a day. This clearly meant that devotee who was willing to do this service, needs to relocate to Tirupathi and this also means that he cannot have the darshan of his beloved Guru, Sri Ramanujacharya. None of them wanted to volunteer for this as they did not want to be separated from their guru. But suddenly Sri. Anantalwar stood up and volunteered to take up this task. He told his Guru that he was willing to take up this not to please Tirupathi Balaji but wanted to make his guru happy. When none of them volunteered to take up this, Sri Ramanujacharya was very upset and Sri Anantalwar could not really see his Guru in a depressed mood. He relocated to Tirumala with his wife who was also a great devotee of Sri Ramanujacharya. He made beautiful garlands for the Lord of Tirupathi in the morning and evening. He also started digging a pond for the Lord. Only he and his wife were working on digging the pond. His wife was in her late pregnancy and was solely helping her husband in moving the debris around. One day when they were so seriously working on digging the pond, a small boy stopped by and offered to help him. Sri.Anantazhwar politely turned down the request as he wanted to dig the pond for the Lord all by himself. But the boy persistently asked him that he wanted to be of some help to them. Sri.Anantazhwar started to lose patience and admonished him and the boy went away. The boy however didn’t lose hope and this time he approached his wife. She was kind enough to accept the boy’s offer to help them and both of them worked together in moving the debris around. When Sri.Aantazhwar caught sight of this, he went and hit the boy with a spade on his chin. His chin started to bleed and he ran away.

Later that evening, Sri.Anantahzwar went to the Balaji deity to offer his garland and he was shocked to see Lord of Tirupathi’s chin bleeding. The moment he saw this, he started crying and that was when he realized that it was indeed the Lord who came to offer him help, disguised in the form of a small boy. Lord loves those who serve his devotees. To substantiate this, when Sant Ekanath was serving his guru, the Lord of Dwaraka came running to serve Sant Ekanath. Lord is much more pleased with people who serve his devotees compared to people serving him. There was a great devotee of Pandarpur by name Sri.Senanayi. Even before Senanayi got the darshan of Lord Panduranga it was the King of Pandarupur who had employed Senanayi got the darshan of the Lord. It was because of the very fact that the Lord is happier with people who serve his devotees.

When Sri.Anantazhwar saw the bleeding chin of the Lord, he started crying, “Oh My Lord, What have I done and what can I do to make the bleeding stop.? “. In reply to his question, the Lord said that he was such a great devotee who had sacrificed all his desires and come out of his comfort zone only to serve him. He said that only the dust from the feet of such a Bhagavata will help stop His bleeding. Anantazhwar did not hesitate and immediately placed his “Pada Renu” on the Lord’s chin. Even today the piece of camphor placed in the chin of Lord Balaji signifies this very episode.

That is the greatness of serving a Guru. It should be seen that how Sri.Anantazhwar gave up all his whims and fancies only to serve his guru. This is akin to how Lord Bharatha opted to be away from Lord Rama only to serve him. When we have to serve the Lord, we have to take that extra mile and when we start doing that the extra mile will not be an extra mile anymore. The crux of this is that if we desire to attend satsangs in spite of our tight worldly affairs, the Lord will tune our worldly matters so that we will be attend to satsangs without fail. So let’s keep attending satsangs and continue to organize satsang related activites without procrastinating or totally stopping it in order to attend to our worldly issues.

The satsang wrapped up with prayers and Nama Sankirtan.

Dec 19: What is the best prayer?

The telecon satsang was a very memorable one as it bid farewell to Poojya Poornimaji who was visiting the US for a period of three months for satsangs. She was leaving to India on the 23rd of December. About 16 families joined the teleconference. The Namasankirtan was led by the Houston Namadwaar and the satsang talk was delivered by Poojya Poornimaji.

By the benign grace of Lord Srihari and immense blessings of our beloved Sadguru Maharaj, US devotees are indeed blessed to have a satsang over the phone irrespective of their geographic locations and time-zone. A satsang is a divine communion where everyone is immersed in the joy of singing the Divine Names of the Lord, sharing the glories of the lord and the greatness of the Guru. It indeed happens only to the rarest of the rarest, which clearly shows the absolute grace of the Lord.

In Srimad Bhagavat Gita, Lord Sri Krishna says “Chaturvida Bhajante Maam Janaaha Sukurthino Arjuna”
He says “Oh Arjuna, all those people who come to me praying for anything, be it spiritual or worldly need only because they are blessed. But for some merits accrued in ones previous birth, this does not happen otherwise.”

This is the perspective of Lord Krishna on his devotees. He treats each one of us as his devotees, who come to Him to quench their desires.

When god appears in front of us all of a sudden and asks for some wish, will one be in a position to ask him for anything? The answer is NO. That is the reality. Our Guru Maharaj often summons one of his devotees out of the blue and asks him to ask for something that he will grant. If one is clever he will not ask anything in front of the guru!

When we go to a temple, a satsang or to some worship place, to a satguru and we sit in front of him praying for some wish to come true with guru’s blessings, at times we are not sure if what we are asking is good for us or not. Often they are not right is reality. We end up asking something much less than what the Lord himself can actually bestow on us. For example, if the Lord wants to bless someone with thousand dollars, but he actually prays to the Lord for only hundred dollars, the lord then blesses him with only hundred dollars instead of a thousand dollars. That’s what happens to us at times.

The great sage of Kanchi by name Sri.Chandrasekharendra Swamigal was fondly referred to as MahaPerivaa. One of his devotees wrote a book on his experiences with MahaPerivaa. Let us see an incident from that book.

There was once a watchman (Gurkha) who happened to visit MahaPerivaa. This man didn’t know anything about the greatness of MahaPerivaa. He was passing by the Mutt and stopped by for darshan. When he was having the darshan of MahaPerivaa, he asked Him if He could give him Moksha. MahaPerivaa just smiled and did not say anything. The watchman left the mutt. And after the watchman had taken leave, MahaPerivaa turned to one of his close devotees who was serving Him and told him that having been in this mutt for so many years where He has met crores of people, people who worship Him as God and every now and then come and place invitations requesting Him to bless it. He said that he has never heard anyone asking for Moksha. The devotee who was serving MahaPerivaa could see tears in his eyes and he could see that he was happy. That is because the Lord is capable of bestowing one with so much.

Our Swamiji often says that it is very easy for Mahatmas and God to give moksha than bless one with worldly benefits. They are really capable of giving the highest and we don’t know the right thing to ask. At times instead of receiving His blessing we end up blocking it.

A devotee once came with a lemon to meet Bhagawan Yogiramsuratkumar. But He was already having an apple in His hand and he wanted to bless this person with it. When Bhagawan was trying to give the apple to bless Him, the devotee refused and instead insisted Him to take the lemon first. But Bhagawan kept on asking him to take the apple and the devotee kept on refusing it. Finally Bhagwan threw both the apple and the lemon. Once that devotee had left, He turned to another devotee and told him “My father wanted to bless him with an apple but he failed to understand that and instead trying to force his opinion on me!”

Are we really praying God for something that is just right for us?

This being the month of maargazhi (margairsa), the celebrated Azhwar in this month, the only lady among the 12 Azhwars and the gem of them is Sri.Andal. She has composed 30 beautiful verses called Thiruppavai. It is usually sung during the month of Margasirasa. And in one of the verses she beautifully tells the Lord “yaam vandha karyam araindhu arulelor empaaavai”

She requests the Lord to inspect the prayers that one is putting forth to the Lord, and requests him to grant the wish only if he thinks it is good and worthy for oneself. That is the prayer Sri Andal prays in front of the Lord and it is indeed the same path that all Mahatmas advocate.

Even if one sees the Lord in front of him, one should know what to ask him. In Srimad Bhagavatam, Lord Narasimha requests Sri Prahalad to ask for a boon. He requests the lord to bestow him with a boon to not have any desires to ask for any boon in all his life! Even though one cannot be like Prahalad, Sri Andal urged one and all to request for a boon at the lotus feet of the Lord and then leave it to the Almighty to grant the boon only if He thinks it is good for us. Sri Andal doesn’t stop here! In her later verse, she says –
“Chitram chiru Kaalai Vandunnai Sevithu
Un Potramaraai Adiyae Potrum Porul Kelaai”

She says that she comes to the temple early in the morning to worship the lotus feet of the lord. When she worships him, she has a prayer in her heart and earnestly requests the lord to hear it.
“petram meyththu uNNum kulaththil piRandhu nee
Kutreval engalai KoLLamal Pogaadhu”

Sri Andal made a wish to be in servitude of the lord forever and urged the lord to bestow her with the wealth of unstinted service. She pleads to the Lord that even if she had some other worldly desires, she asks him to annihilate them and direct them towards His service. That’s exactly what happens when we really decide to serve the Lord, even if we have some desires that would otherwise make us one to do something in the worldly plane, the very same desires will be directed towards serving the Lord. That munificent wish was what Sri Andal requested the Lord to grant her. She pleads him to confer this boon not for that particular birth but for all her future births.

And you have all been blessed with that service!

The best service that one can do for the Lord is to chant His Divine Names. hagwan Yogiramsuratkumar said, “If one has the wish to serve this beggar [He calls Himself as beggar], the best way is to chant the Divine Names of the Lord”

This satsang is indeed a rare one, and not even people in India get to meet every so often and chant the way you are doing. This is verily your service to the Lord and the Guru. Lord has blessed us to serve him and we have to chant the Divine Names of the Lord for the betterment of the world. We have to make our Sadguru’s vision come true. It is in our hands to spread the Nama Sankirtan throughout the world and therefore put everyone in the service of the Lord.

Poornimaji mentioned that a Namadwaar (a temple for the incessant chanting of the Divine Names) is planned at Houston and is taking shape very well. She requested all the US devotees to join hands to support in any little way for this noble cause. It is indeed a great opportunity for all of us to serve the Lord.

Sankarji and GBji from San Jose, Sri Thiagaraj from Dallas, Venkataprakashji from New Jersey, Narayan Daveji from Pearland, among others, thanked Poornimaji for the wonderful satsangs they had during this trip and all the members placed their prayers for more and more such satsangs at the feet of the Lord.

Ms.Sujatha announced the weekly satsang activities in the Bay Area.

The satsang wrapped with Nama Sankirtan.
