Impressions of the 2024 Guru Purnima celebrations

Namaste dear Ma
we feel happy and deeply fulfilled after this glorious Guru Poornima festival at Sri Neem Karoli Baba Mandir – that you brought to life for your Baba.

Again you have taken us with you to your “Motherland” — that lies in the heart of our Satguru Sri Neem Karoli Baba – your beloved Guru – of whom you say:

And it is exactly like that – for with this festival, on which all devotees in this world offer their love and devotion to their master – we, your chela, were also blessed to awaken you and Baba in our hearts again, with our singing and our prayers - every year anew and as if for the first time.

The Bengali Aarti that you let us read aloud and that we sang to you and Baba, tore our hearts open so that each of us could experience for him- or herself who truly lives within us — always the Guru.
May the Guru – the only Beloved – live in our hearts forever.

We are grateful to Baba and to you, beloved Ma - and want to take to heart what you always say - to live our gratitude.
