Happy Birthday to the Divine

The Divine is never born
And the Divine never dies
And yet in mortal form on earth
Sometimes, we see the Divine rise.

The Divine comes to us as one of us
And treats us as an equal thus
But his actions prove it for sure
That He is the soul which is divinely pure

And the aura attracts like a magnet
We get gravitated by the pull
He teaches us the art of living
Makes us a wise man from the fool

And then in this land of mortals
The Divine celebrates his birthday
We are never born and we never die
Through His knowledge, He gives the way

And we bask in His holy grace
Offering ourselves to His lotus feet
Happy Birthday dearest Guruji
In you, it is the Divine I meet :)

Jai Gurudev :)

Bangalore Ashram 13 April 2009

“Open your mind and listen: the Guru speaks only knowledge. The Guru doesn’t even need to speak – there is knowledge in his presence. If you simply sit in his presence, there will be knowledge.

In this atmosphere, Knowledge dawns.

Through surrender, Knowledge dawns.

Empty your mind here and keep a pleasant state of mind. Simply being here is being in knowledge. Every cell in the body absorbs the knowledge from the vibrations in this atmosphere. These vibrations are knowledge itself. This atmosphere is so satvic (pure). Knowledge blossoms in a satvic atmosphere.”

Trip to Shivarathri

A group of 40 people started from ashram on 21st night. We reached Teni by 7 AM and we found a hotel for refresh.. after that we started around 9 aM and headed towards tekadi (kerala).. we did our sadhana in the park and then we went for boating (around 2PM) inside the thick jungles.. We saw dears and elephants on the banks of the river.. Then we started our trip towards kollam.. We reached the hotel around 11:50PM.. Then we had only 3-4 hours to sleep.. because the next day we have to go to the venue to attend live kriya by Gurudev.. So as planned we reached the venue by 5:30 AM and we were waiting for our poojya gurudev. After few min Our gurudev made his presence and we were flowing with joy.. Then he started the kriya.. it was awesome.. :) .. Then he said we will all meet in the evening.. (he said this in malayalam).. After that we went to the nearby beach(warkala) and we had nice time in the beach... I learnt little bit of swimming after drinking one glass of sea water(pathetic ... :( ).. then we went to our room..took bath and started toward s the venue.. though we reached half an hour earlier we could hardly find place to sit.. I rushed towards the stage to meet my dear Veda boys.. I had some nice chat with them..Then i asked about one of the teacher to a volunteer.. she said she do not know.. then i said we are coming from ashram . she asked do u sit in the front.. i said yes..
then she gave me a celebrity pass with which 4 people can be accomodated.,..we were 4 exactly and we were very happy.. we could see guruji very close... Then the program started.. Guruji was in full bliss.. we got the chance to see shiv tatva flowing in the form of our Gurudev.. He performed rudra pooja after which the satsang started.. Guruji took shiv bhav during the satsang.. Then he started dancing..he went forth and back in the ramp for nearly thrice ..the ramp for nearly a km length and he was in total bliss.. Then we started to bangalore around 11 PM and reached 5 PM the next day.. Jai gurudev..

In Ganga Kutir

Yesterday (12/1/09) we were in Satsang waiting for Guruji.. The clock striked 9 PM but there was no sign that he is coming.. then suddenly i moved out and was standing near kashyap circle.. After few minutes i saw some of the ashramates were running towards ganga kutir.. i also joined them and was standing near the chain. some set of people went first.. i was standing at the second batch.. Then i was alowed inside.. then we were sitting in Ganga for sometime.. After few seconds Banu amma came and she was kidding that you all are invited to do seva for women conference... then after some time to our surprise guruji came from the room and he was in full masti mood. he was constantly cracking jokes and making fun which made us to continuously laugh without any gap.. Then he asked you all are thinking "Why guruji called us?".. then suddenly Urmila didi told that she brought cake from German ashram (Christmas cake).. Then guruji told everyone this is why i called.. Then he cut the cake by himself and started giving one by one to everyone.. He said you should get the cake and walk out.. this is called cake walk.. very funny .. my turn came as usual he asked what are you doing ?? i said working in sumeru .. as usual hmmm sound.. then he gave the cake to me and i started cake walk... ha ha .. very precious moments.. Jai Guru dev!!

My Birthday celebrations

October 23 2008 Bangalore Ashram
I got up around 4:30 AM.. got ready.. did sandya vandan.. went for group sadana.. then i wore new kurta and headed towards divine shop to purchase sweets to distribute.. I met amma (most powerful blesser in ashram) on the way... she blessed me.. as usual i distributed the sweets in office and to other ashram friends... but i do not feel much joy as guruji was not here in ashram.. but he is always so compassionate.. before leaving to US he threw a garland which got surrrounded on my hand.. the day went.. in the evening new satsang policies were enforced. Half an hour dance and half an hour meditation.. Then after meditation kashi bhaiya called for birthday people.. i was the only one in the entire ashram group to celebrate birthday. it was very nice .. i walked to the stage alone. Kashi bhaiya gave me a flower from guruji's photo..

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............... :)
