In the middle of a monsoon things are very 'Quiet'

Since all of Auroville has lost electricity for the past two days (this computer lab is solar powered) we've tried to occupy ourselves with new things. This morning we headed down to the Quiet Healing Center where we took a deep relaxation meditation class this morning. In the few moments when the rains were not pounding down we managed to get a few pictures of the beach that Quiet sits on:


We excitedly anticipate the return of power to Auroville so that services are up and running again here and we can get around by other means than candlelight.

For those of you who didn't know, Southern India and Sri Lanka are being pummeled by a serious cyclone right now that's just getting worse. The forecast is:

The weather news flash is Tropical Cyclone Six, swirling around the
South of India with winds up to 74 kph, plenty of driving rain, roads
more like lakes and numerous uprooted trees. Plus no power as many
trees fell on low and high tension lines over wide spread areas from
Auroville's centre to the Greenbelt to Quilapalayam and points
in-between, resulting in broken poles, discs and insulators. The
extent of the damage will take more than 2 days to get cleared so
that power resumes.

Please pray for our wet souls.
