Divine Visit to Japan, Singapore and Bali

The ever loving devotees from Singapore, led by Dr Ravi Pillay welcomed the entourage at the Changi airport. After a quick refreshing break, Bhagawan along with His entourage made their way to a ling time devotee’s residence for dinner. The house was resplendent with candles, flowers and more importantly the warmth exuded, looked just perfect to receive God! It was an intimate family gathering, and they basked in His love. While speaking to the family, Swami spoke about how important it is to keep God at the center of everything that we do. He said, “A house is a building made of bricks. It becomes a home when people living in the house love each other selflessly. The home becomes heaven, when God is placed in the center of each person’s life.” Only Swami can explain the highest of truths in such simple palatable ways, which are easy to comprehend and leaves everyone definitely in a contemplative mode! After blessing the home and partaking His dinner, Swami along with the entourage went back to the Pillay residence. He insisted everyone retire early, as there was an early morning flight to Tokyo.

Devotees from the Land of the Rising Sun – Japan, in all eagerness and humility waited with bated breath to welcome their Master. Many months of preparation and hard work went behind the scenes, for the Lord’s second trip to Japan. The entourage landed at the Haneda International Airport in Tokyo in the evening at 5pm & were driven straight to the Izu Peninsula, a four-hour drive from Tokyo, and venue for the Japan satsang this year. After dinner the entourage retired, eager to welcome the next morning, which was filled with promises of great insights into the ‘Guru Vikas’, or 'Blossoming of the teacher’.

Everyone woke up to a very cold morning with the sun hiding behind the clouds. Swami was served breakfast at the hotel room which was tastefully  decorated to suit His residence. Ingredients were flown in to cook and serve the authentic Indian dishes like, Pongal, Upma, Sambar and chutney. To top it all, delicious and juicy Japanese fruits, the best of their kind in the whole world, made their way to the breakfast table.

After serving breakfast to  Swami, His entourage along with Dr Ravi Pillay and Sri Anthony Tan from Singapore, waited for the Lord to emerge from His room. He came out at around 9am and walked straight up to the large French windows of the hotel suite, that revealed a magnificent view of the west Pacific Ocean. Swami said, "Sun is not seen today, however it does not mean that he is not there. He is very much behind  the clouds that have covered our view. Similarly even if God is not seen, He is still there; just that our vision is covered by clouds of doubts. These are passing clouds, and must go to reveal the truth”. A perfect master that He is, does not leave a single opportunity to teach a great lesson, in the most simple and unassuming way!
