Nice people from New Jersey came up to the Harinam as we were packing up. They said that they had come to the city on a mission to find meditation beads. I said "you guys are really determined, what got you interested in meditation?" He said,"as time goes by I've started to have these questions come up, where do I belong? What is this life actually all about? A friend of mine told me that meditation on beads would help." I taught them the Maha Mantra and explained to them that this Mantra is a call out to God, to be engaged in his service, and that real happiness is not in material things but in spiritual consciousness. The lady said "I'm feeling butterflies in my stomach." And the guy then said, "I can feel that you’re telling me the truth, where do I give a donation?"
