Chicago Part 2

From our traveling monks:

After the jungle outing and lunch with the Malhotras, we were able to have a meeting with a young philosopher named Adina Bezerita. She has been to the monastery to meet to monks and see about the ascetics who know the Self. We discussed future articles for the magazine and had a good time asking the big questions. After that we attended a satsang at Gaurav and Ripla's home. The group was fed a feast and we had trouble leaving we were so full. We immediately felt the love as we ate the food.

meeting with Adina Bezerita

Greeted at the door, Swami receives the traditional feet cleaning before entering for the satsang. 

We sit down for satsang and immediately Swami is greeted by the house watchdog Ladoo. He approves of the visit and asks for blessings. \"Thank you for coming Mr. Swami. Please bless.\"

\"OK Ladoo.\"

The group settles and watches some short movies the monastery made in order to show landscaping and current events

We move to the front of Swami and listen to his talk on trip updates and anything the group asks. The man in front asked a wonderful question: \"How does one attain enlightenment?\" To which Paramacharya gave a beautiful two-part answer. What he said was wise. 

After a fulfilling meal the group gathers for a photo and the monks depart this happy home. Aum Namah Sivaya
