Completing children with attention need

Yesterday I had a wonderful completion session with a group of children from the contact class of Online Nithyananda Gurukul (previously known as Nithyananda Weekend Gurukul).

Their attention feeds us with energy.

In that workshop, we touched on the topic of surrender.
