united we stand divided we fall

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

been there done that - let go

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

divine pinch

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

smart seva

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

flute that krishna played

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...... Sri Sri

"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

None Before Never Again

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
