In the first half of 2009, the Vermont Unit shared numerous delightful celebrations. These included New Year’s and Baba’s Birthday festivities, goodbye or welcome parties for unit members on either side of a move, a wedding, a graduation and lots of birthdays. Our unit has a tradition that at the Dharma Cakra closest to a person’s birthday, she or he receives a gentle massage from the collective family as Baba Nam Kevalam is lovingly sung. Special birthday desserts top off these sweet times.

MY INDIA
Is it a coincidence? Boarding the Satabdi train in Dhanbad I tell the conductor the wrong coach name but I am guided to the right seat by two dadas in orange. Of course I am glad to be near them but how could it have possibly happened? We booked the train at two different times and we were going in two different directions. They decided to change their travel route for some reason. Still puzzled I look at the person who brought me to my seat. He is now serving tea and biscuits to all the passengers - a very heartfelt form of hospitality in the Indian express trains. I tell him that I don't want any refreshment and he looks at me as if he was really displeased I was not accepting a token of his personal welcome.
