How do you Know you Exist?
No Zoom this Sunday
Dear Friends,
This week Ramji and I will both be travelling again. I am heading off to Kissimmee in Florida to support my granddaughter defending her World Championship title in Jiu Jitsu at Pan IBJJF, which is a treat. We are so proud of this amazing young lady, and I have not been able to attend any of her matches around the world before. Ramji and Dave are driving to Massachusetts to spend time with our good friends, Bob Voss, and Carolyn, who will join them on Sunday.
As the timing does not work, we will unfortunately not be able to teach our regular Sunday Zoom satsang. We are sorry to disappoint the regulars, but we will be back the following Sunday. 3rd August.
Ps. To everyone awaiting Ramji's response to their emails, he will reply soon.
We wish you all a wonderful week and look forward to seeing you all again soon
Much love
Sundari and Ramji
