Guru Poornima Festival in ashram

The most important day in a devotees life is Guru Poornima.. Today morning we have a nice long kriya in Yagnyashala.. In the evening around 5:30 Pm we rushed to VM for Guru Pooja..Thank god it started a little late.. Then we all soaked in the guruji' s virtual presence... pitaji was there... Chanting started.. guru pooja.. then rudra pooja.. this time i could recollect all the words of the chanting (since i learnt rudram for six months :-)).. very nice exp.. then we had satsang... very nice exp...tears of gratitude from us.... then we had a minute video session of guruji.. then we had dinner.. we are asked to come to VM to listen to a live video session of guruji.. We rushed to VM after 9 PM and skype was ready from our side.We connected skype call with US.. Guruji came and started saying "They are waiting for me !!!". then as usual his naughty things started.. he waved his hands... he said "During festivals like diwali we used to share cards.. during guru poornima we have to share gyan and vairagya(dispassionate).. he said blessings are full for everyone.. just we have to increase our capacity to receive it.. then he did all naughty poses.. tears of gratitude.. when he said "ok...jgd" every body shouted " No Guruji..." then he again stayed back with us for some more minutes.. waving left hand right hand both the hands.. so superb.. then he said jgd in a stylish manner and the skype call ended... very nice...
Jai गुरुदेव!!

SangaSatchvam - New Event in Ashram for Ashramates

Yesterday a new event called SangaSatchvam was launched for the ashramates .. It is a 5 day event where senior members of our family will share guru stories and the story of the ashram etc.. yesterday Kasi bhaiya was chosen for the first day. He told us the stories of our ashram evolution and VM construction.. Very nice to hear it.. and a foreign doctor shared us an experiment which she did some couple of days before.. she called a volunteer and asked her to strech her right hand and she asked her some questions like "u like ashram" ,"Guruji loves u" etc which she said yes and her hand was so tight that when we push it, did not come down. But then she asked her to take out her mobile phone and asked her to put it in her ears and again she repeated the same questions. this time for each question the hand went down just for slight push.. this shows how our prana gets reduced when we use our mobile phone. Then she went a little deeper and asked her to repeat the same with the mobile but this time seeing guruji's photo in VM. this time her hands were straight and it remained in that position even after pushing it..
then she asked her to give her mobile bag and she inserted something inside it and she asked her to see a plain space and repeat the same thing (with mobile in her ear).. this time also her hands remained straight.. then we realized that she put Guruji's locket inside the mobile bag.. Just Guruji's photo and locket is saving our prana from such devices.. think...!!!!!!! we are living with the physical body of the master...............Be grateful for what we have now.................

Jai Gurudev!!
