Recently, about 90 Sahaja Yogis from 24 different countries paid homage to Australia’s iconic heartland – Uluru (Ayers Rock), the abode of Shri Ganesha. They are visiting Australia to join in the celebrations being held in honour of Shri Mataji, the founder of Sahaja Yoga, Who is presently in Australia. The following story was written by Saraswati from Thailand who was one of the tour participants.
“Having lost my watch right upon arrival at Uluru – it vanished just after I had adjusted it to central Australia’s local time – I knew from the outset that I was in for an extremely special adventure; one that would take me beyond the boundaries of time, one timeless, eternal, sublime journey. And the five-day Uluru tour, attended by over 90 yogis from different parts of the world, was just that – a magical encounter with Australia’s most auspicious Red Centre and a mystical initiation to Tjukurpa, Aboriginal immortal religious heritage, loosely translated as Dreamtime and referring to the past, present and future.
From sunset and sunrise tours to spectacular Kata Tjuta walks through the Valley of the Winds, from breathtaking Rim Walks on the Kings Canyon to an unforgettable Sounds of Silence sumptuous dinner under the sparkling Milky Way, the Uluru Tour had it all. And much more, including an unexpected and emotional encounter with Bob Rindell, a Senior Aborigine whose words of wisdom and unconditional love melted everyone’s heart; impromptu meditations in communion with the sacredness of the surrounding nature; not to mention a public program attended by about 12 people.”
