Grace is Unconditional

The mind is invincible
The thoughts are numerable.

Walking Alone,
In the silent zone,

In its own disguise,
Together the moments flies.

Is this mundane,
Isn't the journey full of pain.

My Dear Divine
I seek to find.

Who am I?

Racing through
The Quest of Enquiry.

Soothing Silence
And Experiencing Your Permanent Presence.

Gurudev!!

It's a mutual affair,
I sense,
Love is in the Air.

Tapan Vaidya as I know Him: Part 3/3

Today is a very very special day as it’s the birthday of my dearest Tapan bhaiya. An epitome of love in action, my local Guruji, a one stop Wikipedia to all my questions and solutions and more than a mentor. How much I miss Him, that only I know. Here is an attempt to relive some moments.

The last Journey 

One brilliant milestone in my life is I was lucky to witness Tapan bhaiya transition to the other world and seek His blessings. It was a call from within that I have to run to Hyderabad. Post his transition to the other world, I was supposed to be very strong and take care of the family, unfortunately, I broke down myself many times. In Rudram it is said that” prANAnAM granthirasi rudro mA vishAntakaH”. Crying is one way I experienced which takes away some temporary misery from the nadis. And I did it 100% as learnt from him.

 

Where is the Goal?

Here is an expression of what I have learnt from Tapan Bhaiya over the years, in the form of a poem.

 Vishnu:

Vast like the deep Sky,

The path is very long, far and wide. 

Every moment I am getting old,

Pause for 'now' and wondering, "Where is the Goal?"

Tapan:

The Goal is in every moment,

Balancing intelligence soaked in innocence.

Like the sun and the moon,

You being on the path, is not less than boon.

 

You are on a conveyer trend,

Running fast here, my dear Vishnu, does not make sense. 

This moment, Is "Infinite",

Guruji, He is awakening our inner light. 

 

Peace is our innate nature,

Cannot be changed, like our signature.

My dear, my dear,

One thing be very clear.

Guruji,

You are the goal,

And it is

Where I am.

The Real Wealth

Push or pull, life is an Utsav. And I have celebrated every moment being with him.

And the Laughter continues

 

Recently met Riddhi Bhabhi and took her for a lunch date, we had really an awesome time ,discussing how funny , interesting and indispensable  I was in their life. And she really shared some intimate experiences with me about Tapan Bhaiya.

 The Awaiting moments

 

When Gurudev blessed me as an AOL teacher on May 5^th,2011, the first call I made was to Tapan Bhaiya. More than me, he was on the top of the world. Now and then I had been asking Tapan Bhaiya, when should I be a full time teacher. He always used to tell me,” Ask Guruji”.

 

And recently I asked gave my application to Guruji, He asked me looking in to my eyes,” What is that which I want to do in my life?”, I responded with a grateful choked throat,” My intense wish is to travel and organize programs and work for Sridhenu project too, which You have already blessed.” He in His divine ways scanned my past, present and future, patted me and gave me a clear cut green. Go ahead, my blessings with you. Speak to Divya(NTC). Later He asked me reading whats happening in my mind, "You want a selfie ,come" and Guruji Himself clicked this.

 

A selfie clicked by my Gurudev,post His Blessings.

 

This was the most awaiting moments in my life and I wish I could have called Tapan Bhaiya to inform the same. I know, He would have been laughing from the heaven and sending me his love and blessings. I had been awaiting this moment and today, May 30^th on His 39th birthday I have written the world’s cutest resignation letter to my boss, a small tribute to him on his birthday.

 

 

I will be transitioning to North East soon and I am very sure that he will keep guiding me to be in Gurudev grace. A new world is awaiting.  I will be working closely with Swami Purnachaitanyaji.Thank you all for your love and blessings.

The World Culture Festival::Part 1

Here is an attempt to capture the unprecedented World Culture Festival 2016 which is now in the golden books. It all started with Guruji’s thought of bringing people together for a private function of whole world. The mere feeling to be there was an excitement and experience in itself.

I would like to share couple of my personal experiences and observations in this blog.

 

Delhi Chalo

I recollect my history books where the slogan was always for Dharna and pull down others. Guruji’s message Delhi chalo was “ Dil se Delhi chalo” .The whole world was congregating to celebrate the world culture festival,2016. 

 

Yamuna was, is and will be.

In Indian history, there was a serpent Kaliya who had polluted Yamuna with his poison. Krishna has to do a cultural festival on its 7 hoods. In modern context, Yamuna cannot be polluted anymore. This cultural festival stage spread in 7 acres was a dance of awareness to make all of us wake up and take responsibility. Rejuvenating Rivers is like reliving the life. I am getting goose bumps to digest this thought of Guruji picking up this location. The only take away home is that, Can we leave Yamunaji in a better shape for our coming generations?

 

 

The Rain and the Rainbow.

 

8500 artist were eager to perform and I believe even the angels wanted to bookmark their presence. Wind, Rains, hailstorm, sun and the rainbow. We felt that Gods were witnessing the biggest possible Yagya on the planet earth.

 

Bring down the Heaven

 

 

 

Only a lit light can lit others. It feels that the entire heaven came down to celebrate Sri Sri message of Love, Peace and service.

 

The power of Sankalpa Shakti

 

 

The power of Sankalpa leads to the manifestation of the good despite all odds. The WCF event and meditation has definitely lead us to a much needed awareness and belongingness to create border less nations. We can have Pakistan Jindabad and Jay Hind together as a win-win situation.

 

Being a volunteer is being available despite all odds.

 

 

Day 3 of WCF, while driving towards the venue and we realized that Kunwarji was not well. Dr Rachnaji suggested that he should take a Paracetamol. I asked one of the volunteers who was guiding the massive crowd where to get the medicine. He happily opened his bag and offered one to me, I was astonished, how come he is carrying the medicines. He told that he also had been suffering from fever last 2-3 days as he got wet in rains, despite that his commitment to do service really touched us. And like him, our entire AOL family was serving everyone with an undying smile.

 

Whats next?

This is my food for thought. I will share some more insights in Part2.
