QnA with Guruji

Q: Guruji, there is celebration in your presence. How to keep up the same celebrative mindset in your physical absence?——————————————————————————–
Guruji : To keep up with the same celebrative mindset you need to inculcate certain disciplines. Follow certain things. They area) Not talk too much. Talking too much makes a person tired. Then while you are conversing a lot of ‘ buts’ and ifs will arise. This may lead to an unnecessary argument and then end up in an unnecessary bitterness!! So it is better to talk less.
b) Then second thing is often you make a plan and talk on the plan too much. There is no need to think over and over again on the plan and explain to someone about it.
c) The third thing is if you are not able to enthuse people, at least don’t loose your enthusiasm.
d) Then the fourth thing is, do not engage yourself in eating or sleeping too much. Or even watching TV, or reading books. These in turn can reduce your enthusiasm. The best thing would be is to be with your self. Listen to music.
e) Exercise and do some yoga. That way you will be able to retain your enthusiasm.

Q: I know it is important for me to be here with you. But I have a little conflict as it takes me away from my family. Could you comment?
Guruji: You know when you here and when you go deep and get rid of all the stresses, you are also helping your family out there. The good vibration that you produce in your system doesn’t just stay with you. Don’t think that your silence course is only benefitting you. You are being in silence, you are meditating - some of it goes to your family members as well. You may have noticed, some times you sit for mediation and nothing happens to you. And most of the meditation you know, the benefits of those meditations are going to people who have crossed the other side. So when you have to clear your debts you find balance not going up. Because debt is being cleared. So many times it happens.
There is an old saying “when you meditate the effect of it reaches to seven generations of the past and seven generations of the future.” So the genes with which you are connected u know affects all those seven generations the past and the future. That is a very common saying in India. People know it.
So a portion of our meditation, merits of our meditation goes to our near and dear ones. So you don’t have to have a conflict. And when you are at home doing your job, don’t think it is not spiritual. It is also my job. If you are taking care of your family know that it is not just your family it is Gurujis family also. So the whole world belongs to me and every body is a part of my family. So if you are taking care of your family you should know you are doing a seva, a work which is a part of AOL. And when you are here, you should know what ever you are doing you are also helping your kith and kin.Where is the conflict?

Keep Smiling,

Big cave on the earth

Yesterday night as usual I was in front of TV :) On discovery channel I was watching planet earth and it was just awesome programme. In that they were showing the one biggest cave on the earth. It was 400 metres deep inside. It was like a big well. This cave is somewhere in Mexico. I never have seen such a huge cave. This cave is such a big cave that entire empre estate building in New York can go inside that cave. I saw some people jumped into that cave with parachute , it was mind blowing seen. They given information on different types of birds and insects which resides inside that cave. The programme was just amazing. Some type of insects emits light and when they all emits light it looks marvelous. I always like to watch such type of prgrammes.

Agra-Mathura Trip

From last so many days i was planning to go Delhi and agra. One of my friend is from Agra. I met him when he was in pune. He was in pune for almost 4 to 5 years, and then his father got shifted so they went Agra. I was having 4 days in my hand, so I thought 2 days I will spend in Agra and 2 days in Delhi. Thursday morning by flight I reached to Delhi and from there to Agra. Delhi to Agra is around 4 and half hours journey by bus. This was my second time to go to Delhi. I really liked the roads in Delhi they are so much wide and smooth. I reached Agra somewhere around 3 PM but then that day my friend said we will go to sikandara place. It’s a historical monument and it is like a sign of sorrow. After that we went to Gurudwara. For the first time in my life I went in Gurudwara. It is Guru Teg Bahadur Singh’s place. Guru nanak is the chief one and there are 1o more saints. Guru Teg Bahadur is one of them.
Second day I came to know that Taj Mahal is closed for visitors/tourists on Friday. So I went to Mathura. Mathura is pavan bhumi, my Krishna’s birthplace. It was enchanting experience in Krishna Janmbhumi. There is a magic in that place. I felt that I should not leave this place forever, till my last breath. Then in Vrindavan it was again awesome experience. I saw Banke Bihari mandir and ISKCON temple. ISKCON temple is just awesome, continuous Hare Rama Hare Krishna jaap. I saw many foreigners there. The way they sing and play that veena and tabala was awesome. In Banke Bihari I observed that every says Radhe… I had been to Dwarkadhish temple. There are so many temples and Ashrams in Vrindavan. I was really blessed to be there. I wish I could be a one of the gopis of Krishna or am I. As It was strictly banned on photography inside all temples I couldnot take snaps inside temple.
On the third day we went to see Taj Mahal, it’s just awesome. But my friend said that because of all types of pollution it has become bit yellowish. For this reason all industries in Agra has been relocated to outside the city. Then we saw Agra fort. It is quite huge fort. We moved ahead to fatepur sikri. It is around 40 km from Agra. It is famous historical monument. Pardes hindi film’s shooting has been done there. I came to know that there is some love story behind this monument. Many people believes that if you have any wish you can tie one thread there and once your wish fulfilled you come back there and remove any one thread from there.
Last day in the morning I headed towards Delhi and visited India gate and Raj Ghat.

Some Hindi Poems of Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji

His poems are encuraging , gives inspiration touches to the heart. A perfect blend of ultimate truth, spirituality, moral values. I think we are the witness to ourself , whatever good things , bad things we do in our life.

One Accident

Today while returning home it was raining lightly. Initially I thought ohh noo, but second moment I thought it’s a good chance to enjoy it. So while returning to home on my bike I started enjoying that rain. It was such a nice feeling. This was golden opportunity for me. I was on my way and I saw rush by the side of the road. It was an accident. One middle aged man was seated by roadside surrounded by few people. He was having injuries on his head and blood was flowing from his head like anything. I immediately stopped and rushed there and shouted take him to hospital. We 3 to 4 boys put him in a auto and 2 boys went with him. Actually one vehicle hit him. It was really nice to see that many people were there to help him. One girl was there, she was returning home in auto. She thought that lets take that person in her auto but that autowala got scared and ran away. So she asked me lift. She told me that not a single car stopped to help that injured person. I said its like that only. I thought why most of the people’s approach is like that. They don’t want to get involved in such things. It may be then police case, etc etc. I thought today that person met with an accident, tomorrow may be our turn. What I think is that lets forget that how other people behaves, if they don’t want to help let it be, let’s not criticize to other people, system, police department etc. etc.. Let’s give our best whatever is possible for us. Let me decide here that whenever I see such incident I will be always ready to help at any place, at any time.

School Friends... Nostalgic moments...

Before 2 to 3 days, one of my school friends visited my orkut profile. I also checked his profile and then I saw many school friends in his friends list. I was so happy at that moment. I found my old school friends. Our teacher used to say that school days and college days are like golden days. She uses a beautiful marathi word, morpankhi diwas. Morpankhi means feathers of peacock and diwas means days. It means that , these are the days you should enjoy , study well, dreaming of your future. A lot of enthusiasm , josh , a feeling to win this whole world, making lots of friends, learning lots of things, exploring your hidden talents , hobbies. Today I am feeling same josh, enthusiasm as I have found my school friends. Last Sunday they had get together but I could not attend that as I went for trekking that weekend. Today I had chat with that friend who visited my orkut profile, and then I called him. It was such a nice experience to talk with him. Remembering old school days, those friends, and teachers. These types of moments are special for us and we always cherish such moments. I told that I am gonna attend next get together definitely.

Its human tendency that we always find happiness in past or future. I am not saying here that get together is a bad thing. In fact I love it. And it has to be like that. This is the platform for where we can discuss and plan some good things. Exchange knowledge, share each other’s experiences, developing business contacts are some good points which we can get. I have decided that I am going to suggest all my school friends about the Art Of Living courses. I think there is no better work in this world than this. Spreading smile, love, caring for others and sharing whatever we have with those less fortunate than us is the best thing in this world.

Its raining.....!!!!!

Yesterday it was cloudy weather in the afternoon. I thought its going to rain now and in the evening it started raining heavily. A storm with thunder, lightning, heavy rain ohh that was amazing combination. First rain is always beautiful. I don't know but i used to hate rainy season when i was in school and college. But from last few years its my favorite season. If there is no rain there will be no life. Each and every creature on this earth waits for rain. This season brings such a pleasant feeling in our mind. I feels as if I becoming more younger and younger :) It brings lot of enthusiasm. Yesterday while returning home from office it was raining very lightly and I really enjoyed that. There were many trees were fell down because of which road gets blocked, but so what the magic of first rain is much more beyond that.

Keep Smiling,

Jai Gurudev.
