CIRCULAR
1st December 2013
Dear Sisters & Brothers,
I am very happy to inform you all that Rev. Master has kindly consented to have 3 Celebrations in the coming year, ie., 2014.
The proposed Celebration dates and locations are as follows:
Lalaji Maharaj's Birthday Celebrations will be held at Tiruppur, Tamilnadu on the 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th of February 2014.
Babuji Maharaj's Birthday Celebrations will be held at Tiruppur, Tamilnadu on the 29th & 30th of April and 1st of May 2014.
Rev. Master's Birthday Celebrations will be held at Tiruvallur (near Chennai), Tamilnadu on the 23rd, 24th & 25th of July 2014.
All Birthday Celebrations will be held as "International Celebrations", meaning abhyasis from all over the world can participate.
We are indeed fortunate that Rev. Master has been very kind to us to let us host 3 International Celebrations in a Single Year. It is but natural for all abhyasis to have an inner desire to attend all the birthday celebrations and be in the presence of our Beloved Master.
While such a desire or longing is natural, abhyasis must also take into consideration several factors like Holidays & also their Professional, Financial and Family situations before deciding on their participation. The Prefects or Functionaries of the Mission must not put any pressure on abhyasis' participation and must allow it to be a natural "Heart Based Call" from the abhyasis' side. There should be a sense of joy when abhyasis come forward on their own accord and attend the celebrations, the final choice being left to the abhyasis.
Abhyasis must also bear in mind that while these celebrations are being held in a Centralized location, Center-wise celebrations will continue to be celebrated as usual.
A detailed circular will follow later, at an appropriate time.
Most affectionately,
Kamlesh D. Patel
