    Samaneri I look forward to these uploads each week, so much! I looked at your Viveka Hermitage site the other day and saw that you were in the UK for a while. I googled Amฤravati and lo and behold it's in Hemel where I used to live in the old town with my husband for a few years! We now live in Leighton Buzzard so I am going to go to the evening Puja tomorrow night. What a small world. Thank you for this beautiful channel. I listen to something everyday but one of my favourites is Madam Guyon (I learn something new every time I listen) and the stunning Rumi ones. Love and light to you.
