14th Annual Dec Mani retreat ~ 22-25th December 2014 at Orchid Country Club.
Like many, I was originally put off by the venue which required shuttle bus transfer and kept delaying decision to participate till the week before the event.
Somehow, things just flow and there seemed to be a calling to continue my annual participation (either as Full-timer/part-timer/volunteer) since 2004!
Fortunately, the logistics is smoother than expected with every 15 minutes interval of shuttle bus by OCC and additional bus arrangement to & fro Khatib MRT.
And there is definitely Blessings for the morning weather to be Sunny instead of storms in this rainy season to discourage participation. (I could still recall braving storms to attend the event in 2004 and years later...)
Decided to be Full Time Participant again!!!
In comparison, the venue this year is much compact and cosy. That added points to overall ambience...
Feeling Blessed to be able to attend the retreat as Full-time participant again.
124,637,565 counts of mantra achieved this year!
Gratitude to all...May All Be Well & Happy!!!

The Power of Chanting Om:The chanting of Om drives away all worldly thoughts and removes distraction and infuses new vigour in the body.When you feel depressed, chant Om fifty times and you will be filled with new vigour and strength. The chanting of Om is a powerful tonic. When you chant Om, you feel you are the pure, all pervading light and consciousness.Those who chant Om will have a powerful, sweet voice. Whenever you take a stroll, you can chant Om. You can also sing Om in a beautiful way. The rythmic pronunciation of Om makes the mind serene and pointed, and infuses the spiritual qualifications which ensure self-realization.
