Dear Brothers & Sisters,

We are all safe and all Baba's centers are also safe. There was a very strong earthquake and the earth rumbled so much that it felt as if there was a lightning strike. It was not subsiding for a long time and we came out of the house and sat in the remembrance of Baba. The phone line did not work till the evening and then we got news of all the centres by the night time. There has been a lot of damage around the Retreat Centre, mosques have also been broken, old houses and banks have collapsed. So many people have died and 90 percent of the houses in the entire city have cracked. The earth continues to shake intermittently in Mandalay and the walls of Baba's house are also slowly cracking. The earth was shaking even at night so everyone came out on the road and it is difficult at the moment to go inside the house. Baba has kept all of us safe in his canopy. Thank you very much to Baba and to all our Brahmin family who always give good wishes and pure feelings to us, thank you Baba!

In Baba's sweet remembrance,

BK Shakuntala
