By Shri Mataji�s blessings, Gainesville hosted its first Realize America Day on July 29, 2006. Here in Gainesville, we are only two yogis, so we asked the Tampa yogis to come and help us in spreading Sahaja Yoga. With the joy of this larger collectivity, we were able to give Self-Realization to the seekers of truth from our town.

Realize America Day was held at The India Cultural and Education Center. They provided us with a nice meditation room decorated with flowers and little, beautiful representations of Shri Ganesha and Shri Shiva.

The first realization session started at 11 a.m., and we were very happy to have one Indian gentleman, who seemed to be a high quality seeker. He felt the cool breeze very clearly on his hands and over his head. At the end of the program, he even showed respect to Shri Mataji by bowing his head in a long, thankful homage.

At 2 p.m. two journalists from The Gainesville Sun came to the program; they knew about the Realize America Day event because of a press release they received. They began by asking many questions about Sahaja Yoga, Self-Realization and Shri Mataji, and they took several pictures of the seekers. However, they did not seem to be very interested in personally getting the experience. But, suddenly, something changed, and they wanted to try the experiment. After getting their Self-Realization, their faces were shining with the Pure Joy of the Spirit.

The last meditation program commenced at 4 p.m., where we had eight seekers of truth. All of them experienced their Self-Realization, and those who did not feel the cool breeze were worked on by the yogis. They helped the seekers by giving them vibrations, balancing their channels and clearing their subtle system. After they were worked on, they were better able to enjoy the vibrations of their Spirit. Before they left, we told them about our follow-up meetings that we had set-up at a local bookstore.

All day we felt the attention of our Holy Mother. Her attention provided us with the energy, the Love and Compassion to do God�s work. Thank you Shri Mataji for the marvelous blessings and accomplished wishes.
