Blessing of Hridaya Bij Ashrama (Heart Home) in Rishikesh

 Last night we held the Blessing and Dedication Puja of our new Hridaya Bij Ashrama here in Rishikesh. Hridaya can be translated as the Joy of the Heart or the Heart beyond the Heart 💖 Bij is seed 💖 and Ashrama in this case is hOMe 😇 So in English we can simply call it our Heart Home 😊💝 I especially love that it is a seed ashrama!  May the flowering of this seed be beautiful and bountiful 🌝💕 The ceremony itself was so beautiful we wanted it to never end and sat for a long while simply bathing it that grace and love and peace. The ceremony took place at Ganga Stahl, Rishikesh on 30th January 2018 between the hours of 7.20pm and 8.36pm on the fullest of full moons. Here are some photos. Hearts Love always Padma 🌸💖
