Guru Story..1

Mom has had 6 guruji's 'darshan in person' , as she vehemently exclaims . All time she had  been proudly telling everybody , how every single time she got a blessing hand on head , every time she met him; until this time instant in Chandigarh , few days back..Mom says they were not letting them in . All gates were sealed , where Guruji were staying. My Phoophaji , being a volunteer , was in for quite a while. Seeing this , even buaji was furious and called him...to get'em in!! He didn't answer ... and both got excitingly furious! Then this happenstance had to dive in..much to delight of everybody at first , really ,to only few...after. Somebody called for anu to get in(my buaji's name!). As expected, there was an eternal line of ma's named 'anu' . Being in front both my mom and buaji got in a rush! When Guruji were about to leave, mum got out with everybody and hoped to get that quintessential blessing again. To her astounding instant catcher , Guruji stepped ahead without noticing. Just when mom was about to turn... Guruji came back with big smile on his face , as ever, put his hand on mom's head and said -"Jeete raho" . And mom had a sigh of joy!

Dada - The Great..

This is a legacy, this life that continues to move on. Even more , of which is this legacy, is the Art of Living it!, Of which many people holds the credibility to none other than DADA.. and by God's grace , i'm one of them . Dada , as ur date of birth is testimony, u have abundant 'Shiva' factor! U've been doing so much seva . I hold u as my no.1 inspiration to do the same. U're phrases-"think what more can u do to bring more good to this world",and "pain is inevitable , it's ur choice to bear it in agony or to waft it in happiness" , comes to my 'mind' along with all the teaching's i have been taught till , inadvertently. Ur aura , so strong ! I felt myself being in other dimension when i gained 1st blessing from u! I'm not grateful to u , for Guruji says, u r separate then( i 'm nt!) Neither do i thank u , cuz Gurudev says , then there is no oneness, i thank u superficially for all that i ve gained from u , and continue to gain incessantly , i love u by heart. Shivasthe Panthanaha Jai guru dev! C ya soon..

The starting

This is the photograph of a person , unknown to me when i was a kid .Reminiscence as it catches me, once , when i was small , my parents were into some sort of hindu ritual, in which married couple go round around a fire lit , 7 times , again. In complete despair i asked my grandma- "where i'd live when they get married!" . She , at once bursted into laughter , along with the priest and my parents. When that ceremony was over i heard something like 'gurudev' . I thought i overheard from some last chanting , the priest was performing. I realized in an instant it wasn't! . Today i get it! 'twas Jai Guru Dev! , This pic is the one I first cited in my mum's 'An intimate note to the sincere seeker', Volume no. of which has faded. I did Art Excel when i was in 4th grade. Bad on my part i don't remember guru ma's name with which i had an awesome time playing games(that was all i could think of then!). Yeah i regularly did Kriya for some time , then didn't.., But meanwhile i enjoyed going to my pa's friend's house for Satsang every sunday evening , where i figured out i could sing pretty well. After that knowledge i had a routine of learning a new bhajan every week and sing it with all those melodious instruments around. Same time around , during winters , we went Rishikesh from Solan , backing up Guruji's scorpio. Having had his blessings in person(cuz even without him being in person , his presence is all around us , every jgd knows that!), me and my sis sighted guru ma and shocked her up in surprise to tough her feet with hand's crossed( as we were taught) , when she smiled all we could do was grin , and nod in yes to all the thing's she'd ask ; till our parents came to wish her. I 'm still able to 'see' that crowd , all smiling faces, listening to Guruji with 100% nods on his asking them-" are u all with me , listening to me?" and then continuing along with time. After 2 yrs i stopped doing kriya , cuz of no apt influence in home , Pa did his sudarshan kriya , when? even ma couldn't tell ,but he did. Ma did regularly in the evening , but all that she kept complaining about, i didn't see any improvement in her, till i got, it was it which kept her loving everybody, still she restricts and grudges about many things , but her love for others , her deeds overpasses all. Here, right now , m listening to frederic buchet , thanking guruji for bringing that Jgd presence in every nook and corner of my house , my home again...m not grateful , cuz sri sri says if u r grateful u don't belong to me, i thank him superficially , i love him by heart..
