Our time in Mumbai was memorable, not only because we spent alot of time with Madhuri and Madan there, but we visited and laughed at the birth place of Laughter Yoga and also saw the plaques on the seats in the park for the parents of Madan and Madhuri, please see the photos.
I can see why Madan chose that park, as it is always full of people walking, talking, laughing doing Hatha Yoga as I did with Madhuri, I have never seen a park used and appreciated 'so much'. The Laughter Club early in the morning was a treat, we went there a couple of times, and were welcomed lovingly and laughingly.
We felt really comfortable in the outer suburb of Mumbai, with strip shops and markets, we quite enjoyed walking up and down smiling and laughing with all the locals.
A special treat for us and a complete surprise was the night that Madan took us, to a Special Ashram where his Mother went frequently and we were honoured to meet one of Madan's Mothers friends, that night we laughed, chanted and danced. Oh Wow what a night and then to top if off, we were given gifts, Des a special gold coin to place in the room where he meditates and me a gold necklace, a beatle, the wings open to show a watch...I felt and still feel very blessed.
I really believe that all this happened, because we went there with no expectations at all, not one, I didnt expect to see Madan and Madhuri much at all, I did not expect anything, for us, it was adventure, with no plans, we had nothing booked what so ever, only our flights to Mumbai and return, we had faith and allowed it all to fall in to place, and how it did, I can still not get over it, I am now closer to some people in Mumbai, Bangalore and Keralla than I am at home, I will keep in touch and see them again as soon as possible, so please let this be a lesson for us all, enjoy each moment, be conscious and aware, without expectations, give Joy, Love and Laughter where ever you go and that is what will return to you, as I firmly believe what you give you get back, so please make it positive for your own sake. I learnt alot about myself during the time in India, Joy, Love and Laughter is my natural state, and what I love to be and also the easiest. I believe the more we live what Madan and Madhuri are teaching and spreading world wide, the better our life is, the better the world will be, it starts with every individual, peace within and around each one of us is contagious.
Love and giggles
