Devotees from Greece have been coming to Swami for more than 25 years. Swami has always been showering His abundant Love and Grace on these groups and this year has not been an exception. More than 50 devotees from all parts of Greece gathered during July and August at His Lotus Feet, basking in His Love. Here is their account of the experiences they had this year.

Throughout all these years we have come to understand Swami's message of Love and Unity and apply it in terms of service to the needy. During the last few years, each time we came to Prashanti Nilayam, we made it a practice to do Grama Seva (service to village people). During our recent trip too we did this twice by visiting five remote villages, such as Chinnaboyanapalli and Narepalli.

We began by distributing stationary items for the school children (slates, chalk, pencils, rubbers, sharpeners, etc.) as well as sweets and Swami’s pictures. Next, we distributed large quantities of rice (totally 600 packets of 1kg each) and dhal (totally 600 packets of ½ kg each) to the poor families of these villages.
