Nithyanandam.
Before this blog was created, a few posts were made in a personal blog. So, we'll just transfer the posts to this blog.
Among the posts are:
1. A visit to the house before it was opened
12th Oct 2010, the Seremban Centre was opened. It was just a very simple event. No one expected this centre to be opened this early.
Let's just rewind one week before the opening:
The owner of the house has agreed to donate the house as a Nithyananda Centre. The Seremban Nithyananda Family was very happy. Everyone gathered for a small meeting. We discussed on what to do with the centre:cleaning,painting,renovating,etc.
We even went to the house which was in a very bad condition. We sat there and did a small prayers. We all know that Swami's blessings are always there for us. These photos were taken during that time:-

After the prayers,we head back home with thoughts of bliss.
Then, for a few days, whenever whoever is free,they went to the centre to clean up the place. They removed all the rubbishes, cleaned the whole house(not an easy job but made easy with Swami's blessings), painted the gates and grills, and did coat painting for the whole house.
Everyone were very blissful doing centre works. It all went slowly. But unexpectedly, Mr.Loganathan, Malaysia's Nithyananda Dhyananpeetam co-ordinator called and asked to have a satsang on that Tuesday. From that onwards, everyone started working extra fastly and also with extra efficiency. All was Swami's plan.
2. The unexpected opening of the center
On the day of the satsang:
Some of the Seremban Nithyananda Family members took leave from work to make it to the satsang on time. The others went to work as usual. Around 4.30, everyone gathered at the centre. Mr.Kalai had brought the Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam logo: the flying birds and some posters of Swami. They decorated the centre with the ornaments.

It was all the decorations that were made in the centre. We knew it wasn’t much but we didn’t have much time before the satsang. Everything happened so quickly and so unexpectedly. It was just so Swami’s type…:D
I was a bit late to the centre because my mother was preparing some food. As I enter the centre, I was lost for words. The centre looked vibrant and so blissful with Swami’s pictures all around and Swami’s songs in the background.
Then, it was time to set up our Guru Pooja sets. The Little Anandas were given the chance to perform Guru Pooja on the sacred day. 7 of us (Kalusha, Durga, Gayatri, Anusha, Prisha, Krishan, Kirthi) set up our pooja sets in a corner.

After all was ready, all we could do was to wait for Loga ayya and Kavitha amma. While waiting, we had a nice time chatting and also eating(light beverages). It was a very enjoyable time as not always we get time to get together. Even if we do, we will be busy with Swami’s activities.

Around 7.30, Loga ayya and Kavitha amma reached the centre. We welcomed them. The amma set up Swami’s paduka in front of the little photo of Swami. We all realized that we were all very lucky and also blessed to have Swami’s paduka in the centre before its intended opening.

After that :
- the children did Guru Pooja along with Loga ayya and Kavitha amma
- Loga ayya gave a speech(mainly abt Jeevan Mukthi & e-kalpataru)
- A discussion on the e-kalpataru by all those present
- Dinner time!
- The formation of e-kalpataru committee
Then, everyone left to their home after cleaning up the place. Everyone was happy with the satsang as it went smoothly with Swami's blessing. Let's hope and pray that the e-kalpataru in Seremban on this 23rd Oct will go smoothly as well.
That was all that were uploaded in that blog. The pictures of the e-Kalpataru is coming on its way.
Nithyanandam.
