Dear Narad

the following passage had been posted on the Auronet in a series on Collective Sadhana.
It seems to be a very relevant text in the context of the Om Choir, especially if one intersperses "singing"  for the verbs of "doing and working".

CWM, Q&A p 7-11

How should one proceed, if the sadhana is not personal but collective ?


One must enlarge oneself.

          The work is more complicated, more complex, requiring a greater strength a greater width, a greater patience, a greater tolerance and a greater endurance.

          Yet if each one does ( SINGS) perfectly what he has to do (SING), all together form but a single person doing the sadhana for everybody. If there are fifty doing the integral Yoga and only one does the work, then he does it for all. But if every one of the fifty does (SINGS) it for all, he does (SINGS) it in effect for one person, for everyone works (SINGS) for everyone. That should create among all a unity strong enough to make one indistinguishable from another. And that is the ideal way, that all together should form only one body, one personality working (SINGING) at once for one self and for others without distinction.

The Om Choir on Tuesday created such a strong and peaceful atmosphere that even when the lights were on no-one made a move and wanted to stay in that invoked presence.....
And yet, we are just on the way.....
