The four leaf clover is a mutation of the white clover which has 4 leaflets instead of 3.
To this day it is supposed to be extremely fortuitous to find one, and it is traditional to pick it and press and dry it so that good luck will remain with you.
The 4 leaves represent happiness, faith, love and inspiration (or God’s Grace in the case of shamrock).
Here at Mount Soma, there are many four-leaf clovers to be found.
At Mount Soma some people fast on Mondays, so we had our Memorial Day picnic yesterday. It was great! The spread was outstanding – everything from veggie dogs to coconut cream pie.
One of the highlights was The Great 2010 Egg Drop Science Project. My oldest daughter has a contest at school where the students build a cage of sorts out of glue and toothpicks around an egg and it is dropped from varying heights. The one that is dropped from the highest ground without breaking wins. Well, what started out as a fun little project turned into a fun BIG project! Glue guns and toothpicks covered the table and you could hear the wheels turning as everyone sat around trying to figure out the best way to construct this contraption. The project is still in production!
A croquet game was set up on the lawn and my daughter took her training wheels off and by the end of the day was riding her bike like a pro – almost. It was a beautiful start to the summer season.
I would like to be sure you are all aware of the opportunity to join the Ashram participants this summer. You can come for three days, a week, or three weeks. The time frame is July 27 – August 16.
This summer’s events begin with a Surya Meditation Retreat, July 17-24, and will be followed by our annual Guru Purnima Celebration, July 25-26.
After these events, you are encouraged to join the Ashram members in a special extended Personal Program, including meditation and preparation for the Somanath Temple Consecration, August 20-24.
I encourage everybody who can possibly make it to attend the Temple Consecration. You have a choice of attending all of the yagyas, meditating the entire time, or a highbred of the two. The choice is yours.
Whichever you choose, please do not underestimate the value and auspicious nature of being at Mount Soma during the Temple Consecration. This is an event that will live in history for generations to come. It marks a pivotal point in the evolution of our community, our country, and the world. The personal evolutionary boost you will receive from being a part of this event is absolutely fantastic.
