The very Silence of this Banyan Tree can do so much in us. That's why I always wanted when you come and stay….when people come and stay here I always wanted them to come and sit here in the early morning. I may start the class little late but I wanted them to come and sit here early morning. How many attended Guru puja today? Nice. Actually the….eh we don't do big rituals. We don't do much mantras and all that. It's hardly two, three minutes. Two, three minutes things. But just to bring you and make you sit here, we have something called Guru puja. 😊 Without that we will not come and 😊 sit here. If it’s supposed to be meditation what will you do? Ah after half an hour also we can do nothing wrong. After ten minutes we can go.😊 Now let us take rest for few more minutes. But if it is puja everybody has to assemble 😊otherwise puja will be over. So it is wonderful technique to assemble you all here. Silence of this Banyan tree is so penetrating, it's a intense silence, living silence. It can't be called as... it can't be even called as silence, a living silence, vibrating silence.
