Krishna Jayanthi (23.08.08)

Bangalore Ashram
Today Satsang happened in Amphi theatre.. As usual the amphitheatre was full.. After few bhajans Guruji walked down from Ganga kutir like a lotus.. He was just walking as if he is floating in the sky. The stage was so decorated and jula was kept for Guruji .. Then Guruji sat and went into meditation.. One after the other Krishna songs were sung.. When it strikes 8:45 PM Guruji came out of his samadhi and he started with his "hhhmmmmmmmm" sound.. He explained us the 4th chapter of Bhagavad Gita. He said "Krishna says - i had taken birth so many times and Arjuna you also had taken so many births.. but i remember and you did not remember.. " then he said Krishna is the total personality.. in his child hood, in his youth he was so total. He was a true friend .. he was a perfect student.. etc... " Then Guruji called our Megalaya kids to break the makkan pot.. it was full of celebration..

As i said since i am undergoing treatment for eyes i could not see distant things clearly... guruji gave nice dharshan's to me today also.. tears flow down . i felt happy.. One miracle is happening to me every day for this week.. Whenever i have a intention to meet some one i just walk straight to them .. i found so many people in the big crowd inspite of my vision.. :)..His GRACE is infinite.. He is everything.. He is Krishna....... Just i have to realize i am Arjuna. he is my companion..i am his devotee... :)

Satsang (15.08.08)

Today Satsang happened in Yagnashala.. As usual the venue was full with people(TRM,TTC,YLTP.etc). Guruji came around 8 and as usual he was in full masti.. after some bhajans some break was there.. then guruji started 'hmmmm'.. and as asual he asked how many people had come from bangalore .how are you all?? happy?? then after some time suddenly he started "Narayana Narayana jai jai govidahare " bhajan.. then he asked for some more songs.. when the clock strikes 8:40PM he asked what is the time now.. Then he allowed everyone to wear him beautiful thrones.. :) then suddenly picked his favourite disco light glass... immediately all the yagnashala lights were switched off.. only guruji's goggles were glittering with disco lights..
he allowed us to view it for a few min...:).. then birthday's and anniversaries.. :).........................

Inspite of sitting very near(7 th row ) to the stage i cannot see guruji's face clearly as i am taking treatment to remove spex(ayurvedic treatement - netratarpan)..... so i was little bit upset.. then when i was near VM by 10PM guruji came from ganga kutir to TRM session ..He gave me a very close dharsan............... :)

Close to the master!!!

Today my buttons got pushed when some of my collegues behaved in a crazy manner. But soon i realized that i am out of track and went back to look at Dinesh bhaiya's mails.. He asked me to be a great leader. His words are "Create a hard-working and smart-working culture around and dont get discouraged by anything or anyone".. so i was realizing my mistake and again i was searching some old mails. Suddenly to my surprise i got a mail saying beautifully about close to the master.. i was very happy to read the mail as it gave me a different view about surrender and closeness to the master now.. I found the meaning of surrender varies at different levels of consciousness... Have a look at the mail...
CLOSE TO THE MASTER:
If you're not feeling close to the Guru, it's because of you. Because of your mind, because of your ego concepts. Share with the Guru that which is very important or intimate to you. Share that. Do not feel shame, shy, or judgmental about yourself.
Unless you express to the Master that which is very intimate and important to you, just being on the formal and informal communication levels cannot make you feel close. "How are you, where are you going? How have you been?" Stop formal and superficial conversations with the Master and speak with your heart that which is very important and intimate, very deep to your life. Don't just say how much the squash costs, 30 cents or whatever.
If you don't feel close to the Master, there's no point in having a Master. It is just another burden to you. You have enough already. Just say "Goodbye," get rid of it.
Question:
When you play little games and push us away, how can we feel close to you?
Answer: You should feel more close if you are pushed away, scolded or ignored. Because to ignore somebody takes a lot of effort. When a Master does not even ignore wrapping paper, or a flower that is in a vase, how can he ignore a walking, talking, breathing human being who is connected? How could that be ignored? So when you understand this, you already feel close.
Question:
Can we call you every week?Response from the room: Call Guruji every week and if he doesn't answer the phone then you know you are loved.
Answer: Yes, put that in. (Laughter)
You are with the Master to share the joy of the Master, to share the consciousness of the Master. For that, you have to empty your cup of what is already in it. So you share that with the Master. You share whatever you have and don't judge, "Oh, that is garbage." The Master is ready to accept any garbage of any extent. However you are, he will embrace you. He is ready to share. You only have to share from your side.
Jai Guru Dev :)

To My Beloved

The water flowed down the mountain
The stream whispered in my ear
"Do you see the magic
Do you see in me the most dear?"

The bud opened its arms
The flower touched my face
Can you smell the presence
In me, can you feel the essence?"

The caterpillar felt the change
The butterfly then flew past, humming
"Can you my dear, hear the beat
The heart's performing His magical feat".

The sky burst with happiness infinite
And the earth grew wet in the bliss
"In the infinite grace that you get
Do the words in your mind ever cease?"

I smiled in wonder
At the magic nurtured by beautiful nature
And I thought of my Beloved
And the mind silenced itself
I met my Guru.
