There and Back Again A journey to India with a short stop on the way in England. The trip to India is for a combination of spiritual pursuits and volunteer medical work

July 10th came and went smoothly. Our census in the pilgrim retreat rose to 160 and in lower Meherabad where the poorer Indians stay it rose to about 1500. No significant health issues occurred. The weather for Silence day was the best we have had during my stay. It was amazing being with so many other people keeping silence for the day. In addition the spiritual atmosphere was charged with peace and love. It was one of the nicest silence days I've had other than the one in '84 when it was my day of arrival for my first visit here and the time in '96 when Dee, Matthias and I spent the day with other Baba lovers in Assisi, Italy and we cleaned a cave that both Baba and St. Francis had used.
