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 strt shouting about how busy
they are.
