The week of March 15th through the 19th (during Spring Break) brought a group of divine and dedicated kriyavans to the Temple of Compassion to accomplish an amazing number of projects to both sustain and beautify our ashram. We are thankful to these beautiful souls for the positive energy they brought and the seva they undertook.
Special thanks to Anju Ma, Gayatri Ma, Sushma Ma, and Satish Baba for taking on the never-ending work of preparing food and feeding everyone. You have a special place in everyone’s heart. We’re looking for photographs of you all that we can share here!
Anju Ma, Gayatri Ma, Sushma Ma, and Satish Baba kept us all strong and well nourished.Ramin Baba, Michael Baba, and Pat Baba completed the seasonal transition of the two greenhouses, removing the winter plastic and replacing it with the summer shadecloth. As part of the transition this year, they also installed new u-channel along the sides, so that in the future, the plastic can be installed in three more manageable pieces.Chris Baba, Cassandra Ma, Sophia Ma, Pat Baba, our residents Erin Ma and Susana Ma, and Ramin Baba painting the two Pranada Products buildings.Pat Baba, Chris Baba, Ramin Baba, and Michael Baba enjoying the fruits of their labor and one another’s company after the Pranada Products building painting seva was finished.Pat Baba, Cassandra Ma, Sophia Ma, and Noy Baba admire the planter boxes at the meditation hall. The bottoms were raised, liners were measured, cut and installed to hold soil, our own composted cow dung was hauled and added with bags of potting soil, and the flowering plants were planted and watered. A beautiful sight for visitors and residents alike.Pat Baba and Cassandra Ma pose at the rainwater harvesting tank that was painted to match the siding on the meditation hall. A big step for beautification around the hall!Saying our good-byes at the end of the seva week. The time we spent together was a great blessing, and paves the way for the opening up of the ashram after COVID-19.
