In October 2007 we had what was to be the final Trustees meeting with Swami Ji. He once more reiterated that he wanted to retire from actively running the Centre and again asked if I would take on the role. As things turned out, I was left without any choice. My love and devotion to Swami Ji was such that I could not walk away from his life’s work in creating such a beautiful Spiritual Centre for the continued practice of Classical Yoga. To say I was a little daunted by the prospect was an understatement, but we all know how Swami Ji could encourage us to do more than we felt able and helped us to rise to whatever challenge presented itself.
Eighteen months later we continue to flourish and thrive. We have a steady influx of new members and the gracious support of long standing members. During the past 18 months I have been completely overwhelmed by the love and support I have received. The other Trustees have given their all in every way possible. Many devoted members have offered their skills and support too, turning what could have potentially been a time of mourning and grief into a time of renewal and growth. I cannot thank you all enough. You know who you are and what you have contributed and I want everyone to know that I value each and every act of kindness and assistance you have given to me over the past months. I am encouraged to think that as time goes on I am developing my own unique relationship with everyone which continues to grow out of the legacy of such a Beautiful Soul none could replace or ever forget.
Without Swami Ji we would have no Centre and we shall always owe him an incredible debt for his love, dedication, self discipline and devotion to the Cause of Classical Yoga.
Please come when you can you will love the vibration and Peace. It is there to be shared.
With Love and Light
Your Spiritual Friend,
Shirley
