Dear Brothers and Sisters,
The Sahaja Yogis of the Hosting Countries feel honoured to invite their brothers and sisters from all over the world to offer their devotion at the Lotus Feet of our Divine Guru on the most auspicious occasion of Guru Puja 2008.
By the grace of our Holy Mother Param Puja Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi, the celebrations will take place in Nirmala Nagar, Cabella Ligure, Italy, from the 18th to the 20th of July 2008.
We bow down at the Lotus Feet of our Guru and Divine Mother, and with all our hearts we thank Her once again for granting us this unique opportunity to strengthen our inner connection to Her, deepen our meditation and establish our awareness in Sahasrara.
We look forward to welcoming you all and sharing with you the magical moments of joy, love, devotion and collectivity that characterise this, one of the most important events in the Sahaja Yoga calendar.

The camp will consist of a large pendal divided into two parts, for men and women, a small hangar for ladies with children and the camping site. It will NOT be possible to use the hangar for sleeping. We encourage all our brothers and sisters who can, to bring tents with them and enjoy the green space of the camping site.
We do NOT provide hotel accommodation. People wishing to stay in a hotel should make their own bookings. Click here for a list of links to hotels within a 40 kilometre range of Cabella.

Transport
For all transport requests please email Finbar on finbbar@libero.it and please include return details.
Pick ups from Malpensa, Linate and Genoa airports will be available from Wednesday evening 16th July.
Yogis arriving at Bergamo Orio al Serio must take the shuttle to Milan Gobba for pick up (special arrangements can be made for big groups).
If you arrive at Malpensa please wait at the High Fly Café, near Arrivals Point B.
When you arrive at the airport if you don’t see anyone to meet you please contact Finbar on mobile +39-3483018964.
If you know beforehand that your flight will be delayed then please send a message to the number +39-3483018964 (Finbar) to not risk losing your transport connection.
If you have requested a lift please do not leave the airport or hire a car.
Finally please try to avoid having a return flight early on Monday morning, it is impossible to know when the puja will end and difficult to find drivers for this task.

Setting Up a Stall
People wishing to set up a stall in Cabella are requested to inform the hosting countries at least a week before the puja weekend by writing to adrian.angheluta@sahajaworldfoundation.org. In this way we will be able to set up the stalls with tables chairs and gazebos BEFORE everyone starts arriving. Please include:
- Your name
- What you want the stall for
- If you have any special needs (i.e. a larger that standard stall)
Please note that hosting countries will not take set up stalls for people who do not book via email.
Welcome desk
A welcome desk will be available on your arrival and for any assistance you may need.
We look forward to sharing with you the unique privilege of worshiping at the Lotus Feet of our Guru.
With love and respect,
