There Val welcomed us to the Temple site. Then Annie Bottcher spoke on the vision of the Temple of Peace. The sky cleared by then as had happened in the last 2 years. We read the prayer to the Universel . This was followed by Maria leading dances in a circle. She then led us in song, singing "My house shall be a house of prayer for all people" while we held hands walking in a line towards Halima's Memorial. There Ben spoke about Halima and her vision for Sharda,<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ5PcSO_KnhttyaIRKK23MOGy6NTKqP_ry7FCd8YfHwjku8Xk6g84vK_FrQ_1Qcumn-sRG1erAH-VNwzOiHfxs4FSH27WycXGV9h-bacYe7JWnlsxls0zo8WRHHxY3UVxdCSDDFzBBJ6sb/s1600-h/Flower+ceremony+2008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZ5PcSO_KnhttyaIRKK23MOGy6NTKqP_ry7FCd8YfHwjku8Xk6g84vK_FrQ_1Qcumn-sRG1erAH-VNwzOiHfxs4FSH27WycXGV9h-bacYe7JWnlsxls0zo8WRHHxY3UVxdCSDDFzBBJ6sb/s320/Flower+ceremony+2008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264371829484752242" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Then everyone participated in a simple but touching ceremony of placing flowers on the memorial.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />After lunch, Jessica and Shareen entertained us with some singing. <a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRHVHGI4dDhEaQJjwwQQwMXjRZFpStMUQM9krnAKoI-ikcV6xrW1h7ezMuxmpRmYmCH_ECPZ2SY5QvqsJowrrAjxjV1QcTaVYgPEd7GOH5mS9WrG7YM08QNGdE81EynA-ZQlGjYzjrZgCV/s1600-h/Jess+%26+Shareen.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRHVHGI4dDhEaQJjwwQQwMXjRZFpStMUQM9krnAKoI-ikcV6xrW1h7ezMuxmpRmYmCH_ECPZ2SY5QvqsJowrrAjxjV1QcTaVYgPEd7GOH5mS9WrG7YM08QNGdE81EynA-ZQlGjYzjrZgCV/s320/Jess+%26+Shareen.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264371833553539266" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We watched a video that Julia made at her Art school and we carried on to watch videos of Halima,<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRuTB6wZ3GxI989-mXMF6NonS30ggxmIHgZvlOnsPIfAGmN4x0lzSxbQrBF85TbpWjorw_gdXkn320s8f4xMiWunX7vlhRHWduor2hHzQGLlofcG-rMupMnQrH6v8XSpPYJQFa5w01hhP/s1600-h/video+watching+2008.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 241px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMRuTB6wZ3GxI989-mXMF6NonS30ggxmIHgZvlOnsPIfAGmN4x0lzSxbQrBF85TbpWjorw_gdXkn320s8f4xMiWunX7vlhRHWduor2hHzQGLlofcG-rMupMnQrH6v8XSpPYJQFa5w01hhP/s320/video+watching+2008.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264371836255663442" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br />We started with The Vision and then The Hidden Jewel of New Zealand.<br /><br /><br /><br />A most amazing thing happened during the part of The Hidden Jewel where towards the end of the video, Halima was interviewed while seated in front of the altar. At that moment, sunlight came through and a spot on the wall was lit by a very vivid moving light exactly behing the spot she was seated. It moved and played on the wall the whole time the interview was on the screen. A few of us recovered enough to grab our cameras and take photos of the phenomenon.

There was a lot of talking and mingling. It ended with a few dances of universal peace and a bit of impromptu singing (and clowning) by Aliah, Alim and Maimuna. They were joined by Bhajan on the guitar and Asunta, Rachman and Shafia singing spiritual songs.<br /><br />We were joined the next day by Helen, Rakiah and Mahmud who came to help do some clean-up.Benhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05768094110364984291noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6171228830807564287.post-4262196851760627212008-10-17T15:47:00.000-07:002008-10-22T02:08:35.077-07:00<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7yuKo3IXAzT18_ey5e-X1EmecdJp-JPSumOwUkU3NwfE2ZZ_R9u4kvTn73mg6RqNHbQYtNM0d3pHqIecsL_ssr80q1ksT3F-YTNHh1wKcxuaPW8QevzO1-m5Kzb1Tofp6NaJ0IEGHeR7/s1600-h/Halima+email.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgy7yuKo3IXAzT18_ey5e-X1EmecdJp-JPSumOwUkU3NwfE2ZZ_R9u4kvTn73mg6RqNHbQYtNM0d3pHqIecsL_ssr80q1ksT3F-YTNHh1wKcxuaPW8QevzO1-m5Kzb1Tofp6NaJ0IEGHeR7/s200/Halima+email.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5259899717455136498" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 0); font-weight: bold;"><span style="font-size:130%;">Come to Halima's Urs (Celebration of her passing) 25 Oct 2008.</span><br /></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">It will be 2 years since Halima crossed over and we invite you all to come and celebrate the occasion.<br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br />Programme Theme: A Wild Flower<br /><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Friday 24 Oct Sharing Evening</span></span><br />Arrivals any time after lunch (bring food to share). 6.30 pm <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shared dinner</span><br />8.00 pm <span style="font-weight: bold;">Welcome, introductions & sharing.</span><br /><br /><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0);font-size:130%;" ><span style="font-weight: bold;">Saturday 25 Oct</span>.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">10 am Universal Worship</span> followed by a procession down to the Temple site and the Memorial site. 1.30 pm <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shared Lunch</span>. 2.30 pm <span style="font-weight: bold;">Dances of Universal Peace. </span>6.30 pm <span style="font-weight: bold;">Shared Dinner</span>. 7.30 pm <span style="font-weight: bold;">Video Show of Halima</span>.<br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" ><br /></span></span><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(204, 0, 0); font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Sunday 26 Oct Karma Yoga Day</span><br />It will be a long weekend and we hope some of you will also stay on for some quiet time at Sharda.
