On short notice, a small gathering of devotees enjoyed a beautiful puja for Gurudev’s 111th birthday at the Temple of Compassion ashram. The celebration began the night before with singing and chanting. Birthday activities included morning meditation, breakfast, guru puja conducted by Srimant Baba from Houston, intense cooking and food preparation, mid-day meditation, an indescribable feast of nine different prepared dishes, lots and lots of fruit, and a fairly extensive cleanup effort before everyone departed.
