We are very grateful to have Dada Vimaleshnanda visit the Denver region from April 26th to 29th. Dada, with his inspiring talk and joyful kiirtan, has brought Baba’s sweet presence to us in this early sunny spring season. Some margis organized workshops and radio talk for Dada to do pracar work here. Although the attendance rate was not as expected, many old and new margis were highly inspired by Dada’s kiirtan and talk.

Our senior margi sister Mahajyotii has been teaching a yoga class for more than 10 years, there were about 15 students in the class with mixed ages from young to old. Mahajyotii with her unique and humorous style lets the class filled with peace and joy. Dada was invited to the class and gave a presentation on Yoga, asana and meditation. Many were inspired by Dada and enjoyed the relaxing yoga class followed up.
Several margis helped Dada recorded a series of short video introducing basic ideas of Ananda Marga including spiritual philosophy, Prout, Neo-humanism, education and ecology. Brother Paresh and sister Cetana played as students in college and were curious about the yogi monk and asked questions about Ananda Marga. Brother Arun helped with the most challenging part of interviewing – recording and editing. The video will be shown on the web site of Universal Prout Student Federation (http://www.upsf.us) as well as the pop media, YouTube.
There is a car-sharing company in Boulder that assist people to use car without owning it. The structure is that there will be around five to six people sharing one car and the car will be located in one particular area that one can get the key from a locker to drive the car and then drive it back to the lot. It is very ecological to limit the usage of car for the environment at the same time save large amount of money in paying the gas, insurance and etc. Dada alone with brother Paresh went to the car-sharing company to do pracar about Prout. This is very inspiring that many different organizations around the world are doing their best to save the limited resources in earth.
Dada also gave an inspiring workshop on “Life as a Project” featuring discussion, activities and chanting. Many people attended the workshop. The class started by a small group discussion answering some interesting questions such as “If you have twenty minutes to change a person, what would you say?” and “If you are going to die in two days, what will you leave for your beloved ones?” People had different kinds of response, but the answers were similar in one respect that all were rooted from love, the universal love of cosmic consciousness. The class ended with an amazingly beautiful chanting of universal mantra – Baba Nam Kevalam. The chanting of the mantra filled with lots of joy and love vibrated its bondless energy in the whole room and in each of our hearts and minds. This is an unforgettable session that will always shine lights in our memory.
Last, we deeply appreciate Dada Vimaleshnanda’s visit to Denver and bring Baba’s love and joy for humanity to us.
