none before never again

sitting at head of dinning table, rishi nityapragyaji during this year's independence weekend DSN trip in noida shared some jewels from our masters' knowledge mound. those who were around him would reminsce with the lingering memory of those rare moments, others may resolve to enjoy his rare company wherever they get an opportunity. someone at the table said, hey this should be captured and brought out, someone else from media team stated, rishiji we are writing a story on your visit and shall include it there. i also looked around with a intrigued expression, i got it, i got it, will write it out soon as if committing to those who have been reading my stories in past. it has taken almost a month and a half for this day to arrive, when i get the inspiration to finally write it out. i had decided on the subject long ago, originally tittled, mirror mirror on the wall, who is farest one of them all? however when i began to write this, it read what it reads now...... for reasons ev

Company of saints is prescribed as easiest way to transform oneself by way of association. What we find difficult to learn even by reading and practising over and over again, simply makes a lasting impression in our psyche when we see it being done by a saintly soul we come in touch with. One such bead from Guruji's necklace of pearls is arriving once again in Noida this independence week to give us all, who know him already, and those who have only heard about him, or those who have never had a chance to meet him a big life transforming adventure . Guess who is this magnetic and tornado potent personaility? Smile broader than any I have seen other than Guruji's, longing deeper than oceans, love higher than mountains oozing like the ever overflowing oceans. Yes you perhaps guessed it rightly. I am talking about our beloved Rishi Nitya Pragyaji. I have known him since his past life when he was better known as Nitin Bhaiya. With Guruji's grace have had chance to be with him

Ever wonder how divinity takes birth on earth? Was watching Jai Shri Krishna a while ago, when this question arose in hollow and empty mindspace. I decided to sit down after the TV serial ends to attempt answering this query. Guruji says some questions when answered loose their value, hence should be left unquenched. But some must be shared with everyone. I strongly feel thoughts that flashed through my mind need to be written down and put across. I can see, these have the power to purify, the dulled mind. Whenever we are highly pained by some bad habit, devilish nature, born out of Kansa (the EGO) and are not able to find a way to get rid of it, we end up surrendering to the divine, hands folded in prayerfulness. We cry our heart out with longing for the divine to show us the way and relieve us of the pain of our suffering and deliver us from our own bad karma. Tears well up into a prayer, like flowers from ocean of infinite peace (Vishnu Shakti) lying dormant within, rise high and

in a room full of musical instruments gathered by an enlightened master, there are a few who love strokes of his delicate skillful fingers on the strings to let divine notes turn into unique fresh celestial symphony. then there are others who enjoy his soft touch, yet the tune that emerges is a known rythym. still few others when played on by him yield a kind of concotion, a cut from this one and a paste onto the other, like the present day remixes, noise ridden transcendental encapsulated relaunched old song with a new throttle .... when i began using talent gifted by divine for a nobel cause of spreading guru's gyan, i was perhaps of the remix kind (my own mingled with some others), slowly i graduated to different level where i began to reproduce something i had heard seen or read in my own words, yet essence would remain, different packaging, old known stuff. while this was happening a few glimpses of absolutely fresh thoughts, ideas & creations gave me a sense of boosted eg

I am sure your organisation/school would be keen to organise a 2 hour KYC (Know Your child) session in your school premise. This is an amazing program from the Art of Living organisation which helps parents, family members and teachers find answers to common child rearing dillemmas. The workshop has benefited over a lakh parents worldwide. Program details are appended below. There is a donation payable per participant that helps fund rural/tribal schools run by the NGO.I shall arrange for faculty/timings once you firm up and let me know your interest. Have a nice day! Neeraj - 9971356663------------------------------------------------ Bringing up a child is a unique experience every parent goes through. Challenges arise in an attempt to discipline and bond with the child simultaneously. A conducive environment is essential for a child’s all-round growth and learning, and for a child, parents are the ones who can do this. As parents, it becomes very important for us to know, how to dea

I am sure you have pondered on this thought 'HOW GURU works!' sometimes or other on your spiritual journey. It struck me yet again late last night and has kept me zapped on the mysterious way even un-natural begins to happen so naturally when you offer a botheration, a query, a need to Guruji. Whether by a simple communion with HIM in your consciousness or via an email that you may have sent his way, a prayer or otherwise. First of all let me warn you. An attempt to understand something that is so mysterious in nature is an absolute folly. Still if this tricky mind does not rest in peace and wants you to go onto that excursion. You are most welcome to read on.....! It is extremely dangerous attempting to unravel this mysterious msytery of mystical kinds. How the GURU (a master, tatva, element or principle) works is actually a query that has destroyed its essence by being asked in the 1st place. I know your mind wants me to get to the point quickly, but let me assure you it is r

Dear YES mind If you are thinking how to · get your teen to brave through life challenges with a larger than life smile · help them tap into their inner strength that lies dormant within, · have clarity of mind and thought process to make right choices of career, · have ability to discriminate with sharpened intellect, · have keen perceptive eye for detail while observing the big picture, · express themselves with zeal and stilled calmness, · unleash their own potent potential by being themselves, Then this is the special one for your 13-18teen year vulnerable sweet one Date/Time: 26th June - 1st July 2008, 4:00 - 7:00pm Venue: B9/13, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi Contact: 9899817444, 9810252251, 9971356663 JAIGURUDEV!..Neeraj

Can you be the GURU that you are? How many times in life did you awaken to your inner reality of a unquenched thirst for a higher power to provide you the instant solution you often seek from that someone? And by the way who is that someone you are often seeking? In your absolute stunned numb state when you yearn for the answer your mind desperately searches, your agony, your anguish, your self ordained voidful situation, your pain inflicted moment, from the core of darkest dungeon in hope for a light to shine from somewhere to brighten your dulled dingy environment, what are you waiting for, and whom? There once was a king who lost his kingdom in attacks from a foreign emperor. He was in complete loss, miserable at his own state and condition of people of the land he was deemed to protect. He decided to build afresh. He called his people to assemble at the altar of his ancestor whom everyone turned to in time of despair. He called upon his sacred religious leads to perform a yagna to

JAIGURUDEV Having completed KYC TTC and attended 3 workshops (one during TTC 1 and other post KYC TTC), I realised during the most recent one, the subtle beauty of the workshop. And it makes me yet again wonder on the innocent intelligence of our GRAND MASTER ORCHESTRATOR..!! Entire focus of the workshop is on helping parents/participants to understand how retaining the CHILD in a KID is very important for proper growth and peace of mind. Many questions asked by participants get addressed by understanding provided about how a child views life and how by becoming an integral part of his/her world we become better parents and get them to be part of our lives when we all grow older. Rest of the questions make participants get an insight on why it is so important to either do an Art Excel or Yes or Yes Plus for their kids and Part I, etc. for themselves. Most importantly when we are able to properly retain the CHILD in a KID they would not need these other courses when they grow up to that

Dear Parent, Teacher, Uncle, Aunt or old child, Moms know bringing up a kid is three jobs rolled into one. Most Dads realise this and attempt to share responsibility as much as their humdrum office lives allow. All a child seeks is a careful attention to pranks, appreciation of the energy body holds and exudes. Despite all our sincere efforts we know there is something more we would like to understand to hone up our kid handling skills. Use of kid gloves to handle kids is a given however as parents we often find these bundles of love becoming headache generating machines screaming their top off taking our patience through the ceiling. They have learnt a tantrum or two over a period of time. Their intelligence is only to be marvelled at for they know how to get done what they want from each one they deal with at home or outside. Invest 2hours of your time to know exactly what a child needs to be reared without blowing your top. Afterall they deserve an insightful keen loving interactio

I have heard, seen and felt Guruji many a times and with much more focus and intensity recently that we need a wave of patriotism to be raised throughout the youth (both young and young at hearts) of our country. This is the missing aspect we need to rekindle today. Indian democracy that we live in today is deemed to be the largest in the world. Can it be made even more meaningful, effective and efficient? Yes the answer is a big YES, and the obvious question in the mind is how do we achieve that? How do we get the right youth into the mainstream, to help them be there and help us serve the country better? To inspire oneself to move towards this goal, over next few months (as conveyed by Guruji during his recent trips) and continue on it long long after and others to join in the march towards a disease free, stress free, quiver free, dilemma free, confusion free, healthy, calm, happy state of everlasting blissful being and society. Are you ready to be the Minister (Mantri) of your own

So whats this instrument going to play tonight? what music shall you divine devotees savor from heavenly rhythms of my master's style? Ah each day when I sit to write, I close my eyes and pray to my divine master seeking permission to type the keys to reflect the words flowing through my mindscape. thoughts that flow out spontaneously, instantaneously converted into words, sometimes churned faster than thought process, sometimes sooner than speed of visualisation, they appear tick tak tick tak tick tak tick tick on the keyboard! master who runs my life, is so meticulous, so deep rooted within, that whatever comes out is always a symphony of unique kind. an un-expressed, un-sung tune, an un-written statement of re-defined ultimate truth. Truth being spherical has application in every new moment, in every timezone, in every epoch! he nurtures, he gardens, he weeds, he tenders, he tills, he waters, he shapes, he takes me wee bit closer to destiny he carves through me! he becomes th

Friday, July 13, 2007 Sharing Being my first article for this column, word sharing came to mind. What is sharing, what all can be shared, how much can be shared, how much have we shared back in life. Let us examine what nature shares with us. Mountains, earth, seasons, sun, stars, milky way, moon, planets, universe, leaves, branches, trees, forest, rivulets, canals, rivers, lakes, ponds, channels, wells, sea, oceans, vapor, clouds, rains, plains, valleys, green lands, grass, fruit laden trees, fruits, vegetables, cereals, lentils, oil, gas, coal, diamonds, the list is endless, countless, boundless, for like mother, nature never tires of giving what it has to its co-habitants. Winds, the chime, the music of rivers, the texture of wind on water, multiple stars on sun glittered lake, a symphony, an orchestrated amalgamation of abundance, an infinite flow. Look at our mother, she gave us everything we ever needed, our father always provided for us what we required, milk, a back rub, toys,

Subtlty is a skill everyone wishes to develop. It brings out dynamism, while you rest in silence. An arrow pulled on bow string, does not look to be directed in reverse is actually geared to take off with a zing in forward. Yoga ensures bow is well oiled, string is tightly tied to both ends. Meditation gives the clarity of target/direction the arrow is to follow. Yoga makes your body healthy, meditation cleanses the mind. Together they make you merge in ultimate peace. Preparing you for a smooth ride through various situations life presents. Such a powerful combination delivered directly by HIM to numerous gathered to bask in HIS divine nectar makes PDS a very special occasion. When body/mind layers are tuned into big mind, healings (re-alignment of energy) both at the level of body and mind take place in that moment.We are fortunate to have this event scheduled in heart of the country from 27-30th Mar 2008, please book your seat, and inspire others not to miss this rare and wonderful

Just hang in there!!! 1. Do you wonder when your body does not listen to your parents cry asking you to get ready for school/college/ work? 2. Do you wonder when your body is all up and bubbly to get into an orphanage to donate some of your time, clothes and pocket money and your mind drags you to a discothèque instead? 3. Do you wonder who all those hunks are like who like to spend time on a Yoga mat and picking yoga clothes at latest hep store in town? 4. Do you wonder how someone could draw you into something so philosophical like Vedic science? 5. Do you wonder how many layers are there to your existent other than body, breathe and mind? 6. Do you wonder how these layers are so out of sync playing their own jargons? 7. Do you recognize the chaos within and fed up of the lethargy and wish to take charge of your chaos? 8. Do you wish to learn the latest orchestration trick to make your 7 layers mesh with each other in a symphony Beethoven imagi

everything changes, says my master, skin, blood, brain cells, etc keep changing to replace the old with new. similarly labels change, roles change, organisations change, decision makers change, decisions change, old clothes are replaced with new, old order is replaced with new, old schemes loose their newness and get replaced with newer. whole world is transitory, everything that one can see with the eye is subject to change, something that is born eventually withers away, flowers blossom and wither, humans are born and one day drop the body, friends change, relatives change, alignments change, political scenario changes, parties change, government changes..... the list is unending..... remain aligned to one that observes all changes, is permanent reference point to refer what changed, and you shall never loose permanance of such impermanancy. feeling that someone made a change to favor oneself, misused his/her power, is only temporary for they would one day realise it too, that mother

While Pranayam (Yoga) strengthens your body (bow) and Dhayan (meditation) sharpens your mind(arrow) making the two aligned to achieve any target you set your eyes on, an intriguing kite flying competition also takes place in HIS august presence! "Guru tatva ko mann ki baat samaj main aa jati hai, hum kab special hoyenge, yeh chodo, aaj tum special ho yeh jaan lo!" (Master element is aware of your mind state, it knows your mind longs to be the special one who is close to the master, forget this thought and be aware that you are special). Most of us are aware that state of mind impacts breathing pattern. If happy, breath is calm and unnoticed. If agitated, you breath heavily. The traffic is not one way. Guruji discovered this during 10 days silence post which he gave universe "Sudarshan Kriya". If we count back from 10 to 1 slowly when you are angry, you find yourself becoming calm, you actually end up breathing slower while you count. Our mind is a kite always eager

while you move around acting on your intense feelings, expressing love through seva that you choose to deliver unto HIM, remember there would be many critics, many who attempt to become roadblock, many who would be there to de-motivate you, to pull you down for they do not know one should align oneself with someone through whom guru's grace flows freely, to overcome feelings of jealousy, and become part of their bliss. many would dissuade you from doing what you are good at, knowingly or unknowlingly they would setup obstacles, pulling and pushing you away from your goal. remember these signals are there to strengthen you from within, to reinforce your resolve to continue to serve HIM selflessly. HE is the path, he is the goal, he is the act, he is the feeling, he is the critism, he is the one who works, he is the one who helps you rise above any occasion, he is event, he is the lesson you missed to take. HE is the one in you that you long to be, he is the one you belong to, he i

seeking perfection in a action is illusory, every action has something good and something not so good as the outcome. For example you are that soldier on the field fighting enemy, if you do not shoot you get killed, if you shoot, you are shooting another human life... so stop worrying about outcome of your action, just keep doing 100% what you are capable of delivering and leave rest to divine, do it with awareness in the wakeful state that you all are! Have you noticed when you open a tap full throttle all the muck around the base just gets washed away with the flow, so just open your flood gates of energy, and let others just get washed with you, you become the centre of tornado and before you know the whole town would be circling along doing the thing you are focussing ON......

hinduism is about being all embracing, that is why you find over 33crore divine names, infact if each one has his own god, it would make up for a unique world. prayer is of the heart, very unique to each one of us.. it does not matter who you bow ur head to, it all goes to that ONE.. sri sri has shown how simply is it attainable by practising what his seva warriors, epitome of peace and love have to share with the world... unity is required where there is the other, in advaita, there is none other, it is all ONE, so question of getting together to fight a cause does not even arise... we have been like that and sometimes forget that arjuna in each one, does take charge every now and then to shake us out of our own dillemmas, it just needs a krishna to awaken us to our own destiny.... your views about hindu uniting to form a spritual council is wonderful, that has always been the case, our scriptures always talk about these sabhas(councils) working behind the scenes to keep this worldly

yesterday was one hectic day, driving upto washington press club with filiz, meeting george, who took us around the 3 different types of rooms that they provide for press conferences. zenger is the smallest kind, one look and i knew it was not enough. seats 40people looks good, but small. Filiz felt very much the same. Holeman much bigger, brightly lit apropriate for a decent gathering. Ballroom the largest, may be too big for the short duration we have in mind to get this going. availability - 17th, tuesday 2006, 8am to 11am. ooops, what to do - to book or not to book, filiz carefully takes all details from george, asking the room to be put on hold while we go back and confirm few arrangements. we left back for her place. picked up her lovely daughters from school enroute, got something from a local store. while waiting for her to return, had a quick coversation with little angels perched up like very sweet kids in back seats of my car. so you must be the naughty one i said to the you

EACH MOMENT WITH HIM A LESSON His recent gift on xmas was a pinch on my left upper arm right above the elbow. "Tum seva kar rahe ho?" Ji guruji. "Nahin silver jubilee ke liye aur karo." Left me wondering. This was his 3rd visit this year ever since I came to US and he continues to reach out to each one of us in his own way. So far I could not devote much time towards seva activities since we were blessed with a little princess last month. I thought planning to donate part of my salary, making travel arrangement to be in Bangalore for the event, getting Mikey to talk with my manager for a corporate course possibility were sufficient initiatives. Gurus' pinch triggered fresh ideas, initiatives and avenues to explore for seva. Here is what happened so far: .Forwarded softcopy of tribune article .1000 gather for Guru. to contacts. .Called up aolite Bangalore friend, got fund raising material for India, sentit out to my contacts there. .Called Ruby/Sures

I remember way back in 2002, when guruji took me with him to Rishikesh in hiscar, sitting behind him, adorning a rainbow colored turbun gifted by the WaterSamellan event, he had stopped enroute for and black glasses, turns around,"main kaisa lag raha hun???"" guruji bilkul goonda lag rahe ho.. Following 3 weeks in rishikesh swarg ashram, churned me inside out. Came backto Delhi and spent another couple of months staying at Maheshjis 35H, SouthExtension home, turned to little ashram, alongwith Nitin Bhaiya (now RishhiNitya Pragya), Bharat Bhiaya, Prasanna Prabhu, Niranjan Dev, Anil Bahl, AjeyVij, Aruna Didi, doing seva. That time guruji's focus was to conquer delhi thecapital of India. Turn in the politicians and IAS officers, they affect lives ofmillions, if each one is transformed, see how much change it could bring tothose they interact with (least guess 50,000 each every month). Today charged with the DIVINE PINCH, I thought this TRUTH must be applied

Dear Divine Devotee, You are in my heart, like I am in yours. meetings to discuss and finalize plans for upcoming PDS are underway. there are some who may not be able to directly take part in planning and execution, therefore would like to keep everyone abrest of developments so that we all begin to eat, drink, walk, talk, sleep, think, imagine, and let the PDS become a part of our awareness till we reach the day it actually happens, let us all put in our best focus and energy to make it and take it to the level it awaits to reach through each one of us. let the chaos begin, the taandav enacted... NCR has had many mega events so far, there are many more underway and everyone is working towards one common goal, like HIS instrument, transcending all layers of existence to connect, dip and merge directly into the SELF and beyond. You know we all carry the small mind with us for it is apparently very light in weight, it costs nothing, is available freely, is very proactive, is there to bec

"Sab PDS ke liye kaam karo, ek ek se hissab loonga...." Those who recall Divine Pinch from silver jubilee days, are familiar with HIS ways to inspire, instil and establish that needs to be done, at perfect time in subtlest manner, a skill he continues to teach us through demonstration. While entering check-in area for boarding his flight to Hyderabad from Delhi on night of 5th Jan 2008, after giving some phenomenal talks at 5 different mega events in 1.5days, looking straight into eyes of each one encircling him, moving along as a big bouquet of flowers tuned into his divine nectar, he thus spoke in honey laden tone, with Index finger (guru) pointing out, thumb (mangal or the warrior) holding the rest in a tight grip, hand moving subtly from one to the next; "Sab PDS ke liye kaam karo, ek ek se hissab loonga......" with a smile as big as ever, eyes rolling naughtily with a twinkle all around, making each cell permeate with the eminence he attaches to this event, wit

Once upon a time.... 7th April 2006 This is story of a unique boy. ...and a unique master, who touched, transformed, tracked and took his life to zenith that the boy always dreamt to reach. (added on 17th April 2006). 10th April 2006 Rather this is about birth of an idea. That took 39years of gestation, simmering, nurturing, germination, before it sprouted to inhale the fresh air from deep underground towards the open skies in search of rays of sun. 39years, yes some ideas rise and die in our heads, some are recognized, voiced, even shared, but never converted to action they promise to hold within, or potential of which is not explored to its ultimate capacity. This one, may have commonality with some others, in that someone else would have also had it and used it to do what I intend doing with it. The uniqueness however, is in the ground that bore it, the mind that recognized it, the conscience that picked it from deepest layers to bring it out on the surface for others to savor it, b
