On the morning before darshan we had the idea, that from now on, there could be a "silent auction" with one of Swamiji's items at each darshan. We were very quick - one of us went to Swamiji and asked him. He immediately said: "Yes, do it!" and gave his favoured sandals. He used to wear them in India, in Jerusalem, in Mauritius, in Brasil, Russia and many more countries.
During the darshan there was a list lying out on the shop-table where people could sign in and give their bid.
At the end of the darshan the sandals went for 3.000,- € to a happy new owner! The money will be used for construction.
We will see which item Swamiji will give for the next "silent auction" at the darshan on 24.July in Springen town hall!
