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.

The highlight of the event will be a talk by H. H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, inspiring lacs to join hands and Volunteer for a Better India.
This grand finale will also feature a unique “Voices on Issues” to promote engagement of the masses on the selected social issues and will serve to energize VFABI with people pledging their time and commitment to the cause of nation building.

We are even entering a national partnership with UNICEF for Saving Girl Child on the same day.
It will be our pleasure if you join us in the initiative and help create a Better India.

Without You Where Would I Be?


Without you where would I be?
A Body without life
A Sun without light
A Moon without night
An Eye without sight


Without you where would I be?
Ear that doesn't hear
Tongue that doesn't taste
Nose that doesn't breathe
Skin that doesn't feel


Without you where would I be?
A Fish without water
A Bird without wings
A House without roof
A Sugarcane without juice


Without you where would I be?
Leg that doesn't walk
Mouth that doesn't talk
Air that doesn't blow
Seed that doesn't grow


Without you where would I be?
A Fish without water
A Body without life


Without you where would I be?

Oh My Dear..... :)

Despite all my efforts, I have never been able to express my feelings; my Gratitude for having a Master in my life.
One of the attempts to put it in words is as follows:

Oh My Dear…
I can't describe...
It feels so good...
That's why you have to understand only...

Oh My Dear…
I can't describe...
What it feels to have a Guru in life...
Its like having a life on light...

Oh My Dear...
You won't understand...
What it feels when besides you someone stands...
It’s like with you the divinity stands.

And everyone stands to see what it feels like,
When you get a glimpse of that Smile,
Oh my dear.....its mine,
Oh my dear.....its mine.
The experience is so Divine,
Total fullness without Wine
The Sun Sparkles, the Stars Shine;
To Salute to this Power of Divine.

Yes it’s my dear, When he is near;
It is just He who exists,
And nothing else is there.

Believe me dear, when he is beside,
Then it is what is called Divinity personified.

Oh my dear, I can't describe
What it feels to have a Guru in life.

Me & My Wonderland


"Angels are ready to serve you and crown you with the highest. 
Don't stop before that. 
Come to me, come to me." 

When I first read this, they were just a few lines from a poem, I wasn't able to relate them to my life.
But lately I have realised how it has been happening in my life. 
If I carefully analyse my life, I can see Angels serving me...I feel I am being carried by an Angel, who is with me on each and every step of this journey called Life. 
It is like I am climbing some stairs, growing by leaps and bounds in my life. But I don't have to worry about keeping my steps carefully because someone is so beautifully carrying me. I don't have to worry that I would fall, because I know he'll never let me. The hold is so strong that I cannot deviate from the path. 
The path full of love, it is like the nature, the environment, everybody and everything is supporting me on this journey. 
I don't have to wish, I have the wishes fulfilled. The desires are taken care of, even before they arise. 
All I have to do is follow the 3S formula: Sadhna (my daily meditation), Sewa (serve), Satsang (company of knowledge) which I anyways love doing and I have all my wishes fulfilled.
He rightly says: you just do these 3 things and you won't have a want in life. And everything starts happening effortlessly, without even realising that I am doing something, a lot is done. Everything is achieved, all dreams fulfilled. 

It is as if I am somewhere in some wonderland where everything is just for me, just to make me feel Special, to make me feel more Grateful, just to fulfil my desires, just to pamper me, to make my life full of love. 
And living in my wonderland, I Smile for no reason, I am happy, dancing, joyful for no big reason. For u need no reason to be happy so Smile dil se :) and you will see the nature Smiles with you.
