Singing Tour

Something told me not to write this blog this morning because it might stir up some...negativity...but...

I had a little free time yesterday and so naturally my active mind started up. Well, if He speaks through us and loves through us and all that, why can't we believe that He plans and creates through us too. And what about 'ego' you ask? I think I heard that question from the back of the room. Yes well, He's everything, right? He's ego and He's our obsessive planning but maybe we try to take the plan away from Him and run off down the street. But, it's all Him. Who's the 'only doer?' 'He's the only doer. Who makes mistakes?' Ummm, It gets confusing here.

Anyway...You're right I was planning this music group thing again.

I thought of maybe 6 or 7 ladies who have been in the Brindavan Overseas Bhajan Group and I'd name names except they would probably start shouting...'No no, we're not going to get involved with your projects anymore.' Most of them are pretty fed up with Susan Caffery's projects. Does that deter me? Well, I'm writing this blog aren't I?

I was thinking of using 'sound cloud 'but I can't seem to open the thing. It is a question of passwords and usernames and all that garbage. Well, maybe we could somehow conquer that and use it properly. I could choose 10 bhajans which I've recorded in English translation as well as Sanskrit and then 'they' could sing with my recording and record it again together...then the third nameless person could re-record it etc. until all 6 or seven ladies had finished it and then...we could practice it again and again that way..as we did in Whitefield...until it sounded perfect. What do you all think.? It wouldn't take much time to do this either. Or we could use skype or we could make utubes of us practicing even somebody else's bhajans. OK, does anyone have any other ideas?

I thought we'd try to have two 'concerts...one on His birthday which maybe we could do at the Ebell theater and one on Mahasamadhi day which we could do...maybe in New York . I thought of going as a group to Prasanthi Nilayam for Mahasamadhi day but I'm not sure if any of these ladies would want to do this. So far I've asked for like a half hour practice a week and one week end in California...and another in New York...which is a lot to ask isn't it.

Did youall see that utube or maybe a Vimeco on the small group of really old foreign devotees who got together in California and had a group discussion about their experiences? Maybe ours could be a two hour concert.because we'd sing...well I haven't thought that out but...See, I thought we could do bhajan, maybe have a couple of chorus songs in parts, even maybe a solo or two especially if our dear Dana Gillespie would join..she did sing with us when we practiced in the Rajmata's garden, remember? And our precious Jackie spoke just last week at Ebell theater so maybe she could speak again or someone could. And we could have a group discussion the way those other ladies did. I think it would be inspiring. There I did this blog I wasn't sure about and I'll sendout a few copies and pray you don't start shouting about how busy they are.
