Blossoming Happens

"Its one thing to take a rose and force its petals open, but its another thing to wait for it to blossom by itself. HE does that."

If I just look back a few months, how was my life and what I am now; there is a huge difference. The way my life has changed, only a GURU can do that. Just thinking of what I was and what I am makes me realize the power of Grace in my life. Life has been amazing full of challenges, blessing with the powers they get along. Events have been happening, things come n go, people come and go but someone stands by your side in all Ups n Downs, n that's Your GURU. Just this one Power is enough to Stand against all odds, to Smile in all situations, to Laugh in all circumstances, to Let Go when needed and to Make Life an Eternal Celebration.

"I will love you more than a mother loves her newborn" is what HE has promised. And I surely walking on this path have experienced this. It is just inexpressible. 

I am so amazingly in love with this one Soul who drives the entire world around. 
With this one Person who is so Universal yet so own. 
With this one Energy who loves me Uniquely.  
With my Lord who keeps me in His Heart.

Like, Air is everywhere but we need a fan to feel it, same ways Grace is everywhere but we need GURU to feel it.

A Meeting With The Master

Just sharing one of My Experiences With The Master:

I rushed from the office to the airport to see him off. He had already entered the gate when I reached. I just leaned on the glass wall, waiting for the last glimpse. I could already feel his presence, so strong, so intense.
I stopped, just looking at him..and he turned & waved..the moment froze for me. Looking at him, I could feel that he turned just for me.
He started moving, I moved with him. After a few steps, he turned again. And to my surprise, he moved towards the exit door and came out.
He came out for me, that's all I know. He came we walked amidst others. I wasn't walking just next to him but I could see him. I was looking at him, observing him throughout. He looked towards me and pampered me, he patted my cheeks. The moment froze and I couldn't believe it was me. Rest is inexpressible.

The way he loves me, only he can do that. He has accepted me as I am totally.
"Its one thing to take a rose and force its petals open, but its another thing to wait for it to blossom by itself. He does that."

His love is unconditional. It is true, in his presence, you grow by leaps and bounds. You can experience your existence is love when HE is around.

Volunteer For A Better India

It is the apathy of the good people which has brought us to this state.

Let the youth and citizens come forward and pledge 1 HOUR TO THE NATION and

VOLUNTEER FOR A BETTER INDIA

- H.H.Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

We all feel a surge of emotion for our country when the Indian Tricolor is raised in the midst of ‘Jana Gana Mana’ at the Red Fort, or whenever the martyrs of Indian Freedom Struggle are being remembered at the India Gate. We all have that twinge of love and fervor for our country. But in the thick and thin of our daily life, we hardly give any thought to what we can do for this great Nation. And we do not know where, when and how to begin.

There are many areas in which the country has been experiencing an array of social challenges such as corruption, safety of girls, drugs and alcohol abuse, HIV & AIDS etc. It's time that we stop complaining about the situation and instead shoulder responsibilities and be a part of the solution. Volunteering is a passion kindled by “humanness”, something we are all instilled with.

Volunteer for a Better India (VFABI) is a call to every citizen to make things better and to give a better society to the coming generation. VFABI is a call to give at least one hour of your precious time to set things which you think are not right. It could be devoted in the area of one’s interest and knowledge. It is the call of the hour not to blame our society, but to plunge into action.

Various United Nations agencies have gladly partnered with us in this initiative and have promised a better India in the coming years. Old and young, rich and poor, urban and slum dwellers, school and college students, corporate and business community, NGOs, RWAs, hospitals, achievers from art, culture, music, literature, theatre; people from all walks of life would be encouraged to volunteer for the nation.
