Floating Aum

Its Sun Sand and Sea and Spiritual seekers all around me. In fact, I wonder if I am qualified to be part of this island community?!

Some have jataajut hair but not sadhu, they are in lungi but not fakir, they are in 2 pieces but not beach babes.

Met some lovely souls from Chile, Peru to newzealand and sweden to sudan. It is a place for people of the whole world. And what brings them all in small piece of land is Aum. They are all seekers. Seek answers for life and living. Karma and dhayana, sadhna and sangeet, believe in veganism and vegetarianism. All want to hold compass in cobwebs, find anchor and practice stillness of mind and heal the hurts.

Its all but India. The chants are playing and its not by Indian musicians or devotees. Every other place run activities to feel your own core. Be it anaand tandava, kirtan, range of  practices from the brand Osho, Isha, AOL and more.

We Indians get confused when it comes to Osho. But there is thriving economy in name of brand Osho and its by non Indians.

Spiritual progress needs connection. Having phone and pressing buttons is of no use without service provider. No matter howmany practices we start and stop and change and experiment, it will not liberate us from agonies anxiety and anger.

And its not just this place. Any retreat on greek or spanish island, mountain in scotland, bahamas, forest of bavaria, temple in wales we find pure human confluence celebrating Aum.  Isn't it time Mother India takes these global brahmin kids in her fold?!  Isnt it time to host kumbh of different kind where whole eco system reaching sanatan dharma is facilitated. Music makers to yoga trainers, tantra to technology,  designing (jewllery, cloths, interior, accessories, mandala) to diet all come together!  Aum Shanti. May peace prevail in and around us all.
