The Board of Trustees will hold their Annual meeting at Die Quelle - The Sadhana Ashram from Sunday 24th October until Sunday 31st October. At this meeting many important issues will be discussed and decided, not least the new International Satsang Association's ( ISA) Constitution and Membership. In addition they will focus on how to improve and spread the values and principles of the ISA. These are vital issues that require dedicartion, understanding and discernment


During this important week the Board will require discernment and wisdom. Perhaps this simple story from the Jewish Scriptures concerening Solomon and his request for wisdom is an important sign.


Solomon's Request for a Gift

Solomon the king went to Gibeon to offer sacrifices, for that was the most important high place, and Solomon offered a thousand burnt offerings on that altar. At Gibeon the LORD appeared to Solomon during the night in a dream, and God said, "Ask for whatever you want me to give you."

Solomon answered, "You have shown great kindness to your servant, my father David, because he was faithful to you and righteous and upright in heart. You have continued this great kindness to him and have given him a son to sit on his throne this very day.


"Now, O LORD my God, you have made your servant king in place of my father David. But I am only a little child and do not know how to carry out my duties. Your servant is here among the people you have chosen, a great people, too numerous to count or number. So give your servant a discerning heart to govern your people and to distinguish between right and wrong. For who is able to govern this great people of yours?"

The Lord was pleased that Solomon had asked for this

1Kings 3: 4-10
