USA Tour - 2007
Swamiji left for the US tour in mid-February. Ma Sachitananda and I accompanied Swamiji during this tour. Los Angeles Ashram was now buzzing with excitement as Swamiji arrived at the ashram on February 26, 2007 to start the first tour of USA in the year 2007. Swamiji's said that he would spend a large portion of 2007 in USA since there were a lot of ashrams and temples that will come up in USA that year.
Ma Sachitananda, Sri Bhaktananda, Ma Dayamayi, Ma THE SUPREME PONTIFF OF HINDUISM BHAGAWAN SRI NITHYANANDA PARAMASHIVAM Gopika were members of the crew during this tour. I have been traveling in and out between my corporate work as well as the mission work and joined Swamiji wherever possible during the tour. Swamiji continued to deliver Shiva Sutra discourses and this was followed by Atma Spurana Program (AtSP or Life Bliss Program Level 3). This program dealt with the five koshas or sheaths of our being (annamaya kosha, prāṇamaya kosha, manomaya kosha, vijñānamaya kosha and ānandamaya kosha).
Swamiji's tour of 2007 started in Los Angeles where he continued to deliver Shiva Sutras. This was followed by tour of Vancouver, Seattle, Columbus, St Louis, Oklahoma and Houston.
Swamiji for the first time was invited by the Jain Center in Los Angeles to deliver Jain Sutras. So over a period of six days, Swamiji spoke about the great teachings of the 24th tirtankara, Mahavira.
