San Francisco has seen an influx of margiis recently and had the houseblessings to prove it.
Sister Cetana, originally from Taiwan, moved from Boulder, Co. to attend school at the California Institute for Integral Studies in San Francisco, Calif. On Sept. 13 Cetana had a houseblessing performed by Didi Ananda Lalita. It was well-attended.
Sister Radha, from North Carolina also had a houseblessing the same weekend. On Sept. 14, her seven-month anniversary of moving to the Bay Area, she had her houseblessing. Sixteen people and two kids attended the event -- people were crammed into her one-bedroom apartment near Union Square. In addition, Radha started a dharmachakra in San Francisco, by Baba's grace, so the SF margiis don't have to commute to other parts of the Bay Area for their weekly satsaunga.
"I feel so blessed to have this apartment that's big enough for a dharmachakra," she said. "And in the future I hope the SF dharmachakra draws more people, especially with our pracar efforts."
Pracar efforts are underway in the Bay Area with classes being taught at Stanford University by sister Vidya and brother Hari Om. There are also hopes to get meditation clubs started at San Francisco State University, UC Berkeley and in Santa Rosa.
