What happened last year? What you can expected?

the normal day on Balkan ...

We spent a lot of time travelling in the cars. It was very hot, but it couldn’t spoil our mood. Actually, the biggest demand was for the car without air conditioning. Our favourite mantra was the one of Shri Vahana and we would also asked Shri Ganesha and Shri Hanumana for auspiciousness. They were there with us when we were rushing down the highway, rolling down the steep winding roads leading to valleys and also when we were driving round the narrow cliffs of Montenegro. When we got cabin fever, we changed the car crews.

Apart from the capital cities, we had also planned some other stops on our journey. One of the first stops was in Srebrenica. (http://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/1697253/Srebrenica-massacre) As well as we feel love on the collective level, by this huge cemetery, we were overcome by panic, which spread quickly from one heart to another. Our presence drew attention not only of the local residents. In the end, we spread vibrated salt around the place and left the havan for another occasion. It was clear that this region of Bosnia and Herzegovina needs our attention, but the forces present there were literally taking our breath away. It remains a question, whether to go there again this year. 

On the mountain tops, in the company of cows and silence, we took a breath and the ripples on the water surface calmed down.

It is easier to be with a thousand yogis in a harmonious meditation, than to get along with each other and come to terms in a small group. There were moments, when every one of us had hard times and tears flowed. We were cleansing ourselves and our surroundings. Try to persuade yogis, who believe they have blessed attention and consciousness, that it’s the right time to leave some place. Not everyone agrees. I must say that there were really difficult tests, but whenever there were negativities among us, collective meditation was an effective defence, which unified our hearts and minds and brought comforting shared experiences.

So called “waiting for the havan” with a view of the mountain tops and valleys was a reward for those who decided to leave Sarajevo. The yogis that stayed behind created a home base, which was a blessing when we came back heated by the sun and a cold shower and meal prepared with love put us back on our feet. 

Sarajevo was one of the most beautiful places we visited. Nineteen of us shared a three-room flat and thanks to this power we were very successful. Everyone found his or her place; someone would enthusiastically distribute the leaflets, other yogis gave realization, while someone else was cooking, which everyone always appreciated. The force of a satisfied collective worked again. We definitely want to visit Sarajevo again. This time, we want to concentrate on it more and work with children and students at schools too. In Sarajevo, we will spend the first 5 days.

Every time, after we arrived in a city, we looked for a place to spend the night. Some hostels were just waiting for us, so right in the first accommodation, we gave realization to the owner. She couldn’t wait for it and after being asked “do you want to meditate with us” just immediately replied “yes”.

This time, we have an ally in Sarajevo, Ivanka Djukic, who is studying in Vienna and whose flat in Sarajevo will be at our disposal while we are there.

When we arrived in a new city, the scenario was practically always like this - a very successful realization giving on the main street, where all the local residents were going for a stroll in the cool of the evening. The following day, havan or puja was performed and in the evening we went back to the street. This time, with generally less people interested than the previous day. The third day, we relaxed a bit and usually continued our journey. When we did stay longer, we did another puja or havan, distributed leaflets and invitations for the public programmes organised by the local yogis (Belgrade, Tirana, Shkodra).

In Mostar, we had some tough times. The city is traditionally divided into Christian and Muslim parts, which we could just guess from the buildings and clothing of the local people. In the park where we took out the Charlie chakra, three boys noticed us in a while. They were curious, sat down by us and were given realization. Their eyes were so shining and they were very excited; so we were expecting a wonderful evening full of open-hearted, prepared people, as was the case of the cities we visited before. The boys left and a policeman came to walk us out of the park, telling us that such activities were banned there. He sent us out to the streets, we gave him realization and went to the main street of the city. There, we sat down at the best place available and went into the witness state. We were feeling rather uneasy as the passers-by didn’t show any reaction to our presence, neither positive nor negative. We felt quite heavy there, but as the common equipment of a yogi in the Balkans includes a travel set of items needed for puja and havan, we decided, after considering the situation, to cleanse the city by performing a puja. It was interesting to notice that there was not even a tiny flower to be bought in the whole city. People from that region have no time to enjoy real flowers. Thus we plucked two flowers of rosebay out of a bush and went back to the Salve Regina hotel to worship Shri Mataji. In the morning, we spread vibrated salt and water all around the city. We might go to this city again, during this year’s tour. 

Kosovo, from which we got the invitation for the tour, was the heaviest place on vibrational level. The realization giving was still going well, but we started to feel tired during this third week of the tour. Renata, as she was watching us, likened our behaviour to the way the Balkan states behave. It culminated in an understandable desire of some yogis to leave for home earlier... 

We didn’t want to give in to the negativities too much, so only after doing everything we could, starting with puja, realization giving, vibrating the city and finishing with havan, we left Kosovo, one day earlier than planned. After crossing the border with Macedonia, we felt a tremendous relief and it was obvious that all the unpleasant things we experienced in Kosovo was the working of the negativities. We will definitely go back to Kosovo, because the people there are also ready and waiting for the blissful love of Shri Mataji, which is flowing through us. However, this experience also contributed to the fact, that we have planned the tour for only two weeks this time. 

All the love we could pass on in the Balkans came back to us many times after the return. We felt beautiful vibrations long after our arrival and everything was happening all by itself. Being witness to the happenings around us at home suddenly became a matter of course. The desire to organize realization tour in the Balkans is also connected to a great blessing, bestowed upon us by Shri Mataji. She was protecting us and we are grateful for all the experiences. During our journey, we experienced beautiful moments when we were completely dissolved in Shri Mataji’s grace. When we stopped for the evening footsoak on the seashore and the only witnesses were the stars, or when we bathed in the sea and felt like children. Actually, such experiences cannot be expressed by words so, if you have the slightest desire, we invite you to participate in the tour and have a firsthand experience. 

As for the preparations, we already have a rough programme and we are in touch with the yogis in the Balkans. So far, there are five of us, yogis from the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Austria. Yogis are making donations with paypal. The money is used for the rental of the premises for the public programmes, support to the local sahaj centres and yogis and partly as a contribution to the petrol expenses. We still need another car, so we would like to ask you to lend us one or make a bandhan. We also hope that five yogis is not the final number of participants. 

Thank you for your enlightened atnetionon our common thing. Jai Sri Mataji
