We all woke up from our night�s rest in Delores�s St. Louis home. We all packed and left in the morning for Simon and Anjani�s house. This house is also in St. Louis. At Uncle Simon�s house we had breakfast and had a meditation with raga music. We then left for downtown St. Louis were that beautiful famous arch is. We reached downtown St. Louis near the arch, where we set up for street realization in a park setting. The police in the area told us that we needed a permit for realization in the park. We quickly got a permit for giving self realization near the arch. The permit allowed only six people to be active in giving self realization. But this did not stop all of us from joining in. The other yogis besides the six allowed by the permit, played Sahaj music near the self realization area. While the flow of seekers came to get their realization, the music of the yogis flowed as well. The seekers in St. Louis can be very sincere. I worked on one of the seekers who seemed to be going deep within himself. I silently worked and asked him to feel the vibrations on the top of his head. After the meditation he bounced backed up and was excited and fresh in attitude. It is nice to see someone changed instantly by Sahaja Yoga. He said he felt the vibrations and that his mind was at ease.
The atmosphere by the arch was very nice and peaceful. The arch was like a giant bandhan for the city. It seems to be the tallest structure in the city. The arch is like the auspicious shape of the horseshoe. The arch added by a circler rainbow around the sun on this day was very pleasing. After giving realization we sat down to eat the scrumptious food made by Anjani aunty. The sky at this time gave indication of coming rains. But the present feeling in the atmosphere did not give clear signs when. When we were just starting to pack up, a heavy, monsoon-like rain came down. These cooling rains during a hot summer day, were very nice after having worked on the seekers. We were singing and playing music in the rain, and having a grand time. Again the arch was made beautiful with the wave-like motion of the rain. I was enjoying the rain so much that I was singing Bathe in the Waters so it would rain more. I hoped that there could be a swimming pool from the rain to swim in. We reached in the van and head off to Indianapolis, Indiana, where our next destination awaited. During the car ride to Indiana we saw flashes of lightning for most the four to five hour ride. We arrived in Indianapolis around midnight where many of the yogis from the collective greeted us. We enjoyed the meal prepared by the yogis there. It was a very joyful day.

We have a lovely morning meditation watching Diwali Puja America 2002.
Mother sums up our collective experience beautifully.”You have no problems whatsoever all you need to do is enjoy and spread Sahaja Yoga”.
Realize America tour then set off on their Pilgrimage of joy through the heart of America to the city of St. Louis.
The local yogis have arranged a B.B.Q and swimming in Fergusson Park. Some seekers achieve their self realization in the swimming pool.
In the Park one man with his two children asks �what is this?,three minutes later sitting on the grass surrounded by fourteen yogis, he says �Wow~~that is amazing. My whole heart opened, I feel so happy and peaceful�. He leaves the park a contented man.
We then change venue to Lawson Park, where a jazz festival is in progress.
The yuvas spread out to give leaflets and many get realization. One couple on their way to the jazz concert stop for the realization and enjoy it so much they stay for over an hour and miss the concert.
It is past 10 pm when we return to aunty Delores�s house. A hearty meal is waiting to sustain us for the next day�s realization.

It was really a great time with sahaja yogis from all over U.S, Canada and U.K. It seems the light was lit last year with the public program and this flame has been made strong by the realize America tour this year. Quantity of new people is not important but quality of people is more important.
Realize America tour arrived in St. Louis on 26th of June. We had realisation programme at January Wabush Park. We had lunch(barbeque). Young Yuva shaktis had fun with swimming at the pool. This was followed by collective shoe beating. I think the land was vibrated collectively.
In the evening we went to Forest Park where there was musical programme going on. We put our Flyer and worked on each other. The real seekers did get their self realisation.
The next day after having breakfast and beautiful collective meditation at our residence we left for the Arch. We were asked to get the permit by the police which we got and then the flow of giving realisation increased. All our Yuvas were very anxious to get more people. Everyone was shining with Mother’s love. So with short time the vibrations started flowing. We had singing on one side of street and the other giving realisation.
lastly we had collective food (lunch). When the divine work was completed all of a sudden clouds collected and there was heavy rain(storm). I feel this rain had some sutle meaning. All day it was sunny , hot and humid and from no where the clouds came. Looks like some cleansing had started.
Here the St. Louis visit of the Realise America tour ended and we said good bye to all. In the evening we received 2 calls by the new seekers asking for regular programme.
