Ahhh...At last - Singapore Clean Air!!!

Aum Amriteshwaryai Namah,

We left the Banglore Ashram in the buses headed for the airport at about 6pm. Our next destination was Singapore!

I still cannot believe the inefficiency and disorganized nature of this entire Kenya Tour. I am finding myself reacting far less than I would under normal circumstances. This shows me that Amma is REALLY working on me on many levels. She is working on Jim through me I am SO sure of that too.

The excitement for this Tour is now brewing. As I boarded the Air India plane, I saw that Amma and Swamini were seated in the very first seats of the plane. Amma gave me the most beautiful smile and started tapping Her head. Now, in retrospect I think I know why. She knew that I was going to say "Mata Rani Ki Jai" softly to Her (which I did) and She said "Shhhh...we are on a plane" and held my hand and kissed it as I walked by.

It kind of feels sereal that I am on the same plane as the Divine Mother. It doesn't really feel or seem any different other than the constant knowing that She is there (which She always is anyhow) and the thought that if this plane goes down, I am PHYSICALLY with the Divine Mother. I am flying high in the clouds; physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. I guess it is a different flying experience afterall.

In Singapore, I was told that my Tour Staff Seva for the entire Tour would be Bookstore Sales. I was over the moon about that as Swamini and I get along fabulously and this was an opportunity to do what I love best and to deepen the existing relationship that I have with Swamini.

I was stationed at the Prashad Jewellery counter (of course) and sold alot of the Prashad. Swamini said at one point that she was going to turn over the entire bookstore to me!

The Programs were held in the Suntec City Center (Convention Center) right in the heart of the City with shopping opportunities right in the same building!

It was nice to be able to take breaks from my seva duties and go on window shopping extravaganzas.

Prashanta gave an old list to Swamini showing incorrect departure times from Singapore to Mumbai which would mean that we would miss the end of Devi Bhava - man, what a low that put me on.

Some of us were flying to Mumbai from Singapore and then to Mauritius to catch the flight to Reunion Island which is where the next stop is. Apparently, everyone has to fly through Mauritius to get to Reunion Island as it's such a small Island there is are no international flights that fly there.

Amma wore the most gorgeous purple sari for Devi Bhava in Singapore. I think that was specially for me since I had been saying just prior, that I have NEVER seen HER in purple yet.

It turns out that none of us had to miss the end of Devi Bhava as those of us who were unfortunate enough to have to fly through Mumbai and Mauritius to get to Reunion Island did not have to be at the Singapore Airport until later afternoon on the same day as Devi Bhava ended.

I am in for A LOT of travelling on planes on this tour.
