Invitations were sent out to all parts of the globe asking all those Blessing Givers who were able, to come and help celebrate World Oneness Day to be held at Oneness University, India on 20^th May 2007. Those who were able to respond congregated at Golden City 2 Campus on the eve of this great event and were given the great privilege of an evening satsang with Sri Anandagiriji. His excitement and enthusiasm bubbled over as he shared with us the expectation of 200,000 people coming together for this celebration. With the event taking place in a remote, rural part of India, the realising of the effort required by so many devotees to travel such long distances in so many varied modes of transport was overwhelming. One was touched by the love and devotion manifested by these dedicated pilgrims. Sri Amma Bhagavan had not been seen in public together for some time and the magnetic power and anticipation of this auspicious event drew people from all over India

On the evening of the event as we entered the vast arena, the gathered multitude of people seemed boundless and the expansiveness of the scene inspired awe. Immediately one felt the presence of love and reverence within this sacred meeting. We were touched to be so joyously greeted by exuberant and energetic members of a youth group known as Friends who offer seva to support the mission of Sri Amma Bhagavan throughout India. They had apparently worked tirelessly for many days and nights to prepare the grounds and make the event possible.

As we reached our seats, a spectacular fireworks display filled the velvet evening sky and bhajans uplifted our hearts as we awaited the entrance of Sri Amma Bhagavan. The crowd lifted to their feet and roared their delight as Sri Amma Bhagavan made their regal entry onto the stage. Sri Krishnaji, their beloved son, performed Aarti to them. The anticipation of so many was now fulfilled as we were held in the sacred presence and moved to the core of our being by the power and grace of Sri Bhagavan’s and Sri Amma’s messages heralding the imminent transformation of humankind and the world. These messages have now been beamed around the world and are available to be read and heard by countless millions of people in every corner of the globe.

Following the delivery of the divine messages, the 300 Western and 10,000 Indian Blessing Givers were asked to move through the crowd and give the Oneness Blessing. At this moment we were directed to collectively send out a Peace Blessing into the world. The event was part of the larger Global Peace Day where the impact of mass Prayer, Blessing and Meditation on human consciousness was to be measured as part of the Global Consciousness Project. The imparting of the Oneness Blessing to the assembled crowd took place to the background chanting of bhajans and in the continued sacred presence of Sri Amma Bhagavan.

At the conclusion of the Blessing, and after bidding farewell to the sea of enraptured devotees, Sri Amma Bhagavan physically left the stage only to be carried home in hundreds of thousands of thankful and overflowing hearts.

We returned to the Golden City 2 Campus with a deep knowing that the words spoken by Sri Amma Bhagavan on this auspicious night would begin the transformation that so many spiritual aspirants for long ages had hoped for and worked towards. The Sankalpa (Divine Intent) released here, continues to reverberate in the hearts of all those dedicated to the fulfilment of the divine mission which is borne on the wings of the sacred phenomenon of the Oneness Blessing.

In boundless gratitude and ever in the service of Sri Amma Bhagavan
