Since 13th February I have been locked down here in Kerala, near
Kochi. I was the last arrival here. At the airport I was to be quaranteened
even though I arrived from South Africa via Mumbai where I was cleared and
took connecting flight to Kochi. My disciples conferred to put me in Kerala
because I was visiting for health reasons at least twice a year since
several years, I would be better off during lock down. But at the airport I
informed my disciples the situation to be quarantined. But after an hours
struggle with local health inspectors I was released for self quarainted by
indulgence of my disciple's family. Since then the inspectors made sure the
well being of me by their visitations personally. When I arrived I was
surprised to see other three devotees also locked downed here. So in the
begining I started some local remedies for my cough and hoematoma in one of
my eyes. The cough being cured I started seminars on Sri Shikshastask via
Periscope conferencing for 9 days for an odience of 36 senior devotees. but
soon after that realizing greater odience I started daily classes on Bhakti
Rasamrita Sindhu for 3 hours, first in English and then in Hindi
immediately. After about one and half months I was feeing exhosted with
swelling in my legs eventhough I had regulated practice to get up at 3am and
performig yoga and then chanting I decided to curtail Hindi classes. Most of
Hindi attendace joined English session for two hours including Question
answer time. The classes have been regularly translated in Hindi before,
continued, but they will receive the next day both verbally and in the form
of trancript. This classes will continued till 1st part will be completed.
We are now on 11th chapter. So this is my effort to lock my disciples in to
the process of pure Bhakti during the lock down period.
