HIS instruments- the teachers!

I feel HIS presence when i'm close to my teachers. And this presence can be very strongly felt. Becoming a teacher is something really auspicious. I don't know how it happens! But its wonderful!!

Somehow when someone becomes a teacher, he remains the same but yet he completely changes in the most subtlest way. I guess, when HE does that, HE imbibes a certain quotient of HIS "Guru tattva" in the teachers.

Every teacher is special in his own unique way. Some are dynamic, some very calm and serene. Everyone has his own quality. But there's something common in all of them and that's HIS grace. One may not feel very connected to a particular teacher & might disagree with their teaching style but when you recognise the fact that he/she is HIS subtle body sitting there, you start loving them.

I thank every teacher of mine and every other teacher across the world who have taught me and others so much in life and have helped us in our growth. And thankyou Guruji for giving everyone the opportunity to grow :) :) I offer my gratitude to HIM :)

Rudra Pooja

Rudra Pooja... One of the most subtle and amazing experiences.. The experience of my first Rudra Pooja with HIM in the ashram propelled me into some other dimension.. I slipped into meditation within no time.. With the soothing sound of the chantings by the Vedic boys going on in the background, it turned out to be an out of world experience.. With no thoughts and just that bliss, that expansion, that recognition of HIS unlimited, unconditional love and grace, tears rolled down my cheeks..


That one hour of pooja passed so quickly and effortlessly.. And then the best part... When i opened my eyes and looked on the stage, i saw HIM looking into my eyes.. :) :)That eye contact which lasted for about 10 seconds is something i can't express in words.. Those eyes gave me a glimpse to eternity!! :) Gave me everything!! It has love, care, a slight rebuke, compassion, belongingness.. That look just penetrated through my eyes in to my heart.. I can never forget those few seconds in my life!! From then, i've started relishing Rudra Pooja a lot.. :) Thankyou Guruji for this experience! :) :) :)

Longing....!

I wrote this during a painful prayerful longing 4 HIM .....


Let there be one love in life...
Love to HIM! :)
Dauntless, expectationless, worryless, pure, unconditional, taintless, doubtless.. DIVINE LOVE!! :)


Let every breath be on HIS service.. Let every thought be HIS thought...
Let there be just one relation...Nameless, formless, inexpressible RELATION WITH HIM...!:)


Let there be just one attachment.. attachment to HIM! :)
Let there be no questions, but only WONDER.. For wonder will not seek answers! :)


Let every second be in HIS rememberance..
Every action be HIS command..
Every word be HIS wish,
For HIS service.... :)


Let every desire be HIS desire..
Every longing be HIS longing...
Let there be one purpose- to move with HIM, for HIM... :) :)


Let this journey continue till eternity..... & even after that!! :) :) :)


Let my identity be HIS identity.....
HIS essence be my essence....
Let me be HIM!!! :) :) :) :)


PS: This post could be better understood by those who have HIM in their life and have felt HIS grace. :)

Walking With A Himalayan Master!

"Walking With a Himalayan Master" by Justin'O Brien.. Biography of Swami Rama, a Himalayan Master by His Disciple... I read this book last year.. This is certainly amongst the best books that I've ever read.. Talks about the Guru-disciple relationship and its essence, the unconditional love of a Guru through true amazing experiences..

Basically this is one book that really intensified my desire to have a Living Guru in my life.. I demanded to the nature with all my heart and within no time, HE came in !! :) :) See, how sensitive Nature is..!!:) This is one book and obviously HIS grace that really help me understand my relation with HIM in a much better way..

Read this book!! You'll love it... Even if you haven't find a Guru for yourself yet!! :)

To BE.......

Thought... I'm here to learn something, to earn, to acquire, to gain- knowledge, experiences, glimpses & God knows what all.. But realised, its actually about EMPTYING!! To become "Hollow and Empty"....!! To chuck off all the garbage that i have been carrying through, even i don't know how many births!! No, I'm not here to be happy or to be sad, to be contented or discontented, to be at peace or to be restless.... Nothing!! But just TO BE.... I AM........ :)

Happy Janmashtami!!

Here's my Krishna!! :) My Poojya Gurudeva :) Happy Birthday Guruji!! :) :)

This is what HE says on Janmashtmi....

5103 years ago Sri Krishna was born. Gokul means the family/society where there is knowledge. If you look at Krishnas life its amazing. As a friend, child, thief, musician, husband, teacher, lover from every aspect He was the best and complete. He was an uncrowned king. We still remember His journey from Brindavan to Dwarka.

Krishna said 4 kinds of people worship me
a)Miserable people
b) Those who want something
c) Those who want to know what is life and
d) Gynanis.

Know that I am not separate from the Gynani. Gnani is Me and I m Gynani.

Radha is longing and Krishna is love. Vasudeva (Ananda) brings Krishna to Gokul when every one is sleeping. This means when the senses sleep Love comes out through ananda. Rama and Krishna are completely opposite in nature. Rama was born in the noon and Krishna midnight. Rama was always a sishya, i.e. a student throughout His life, whereas Krishna was always a teacher. He was a Guru even to His mother. Rama respected every one. Every one respected Krishna.

Both are needed for making life colorful and lively.

PS: I've seen people longing for God.. But i've found my God... I consider myself as lucky as those people who lived when Lord Rama and Lord Krishna are said to walk on Earth.. My Gurudeva is my Krishna.. !! :)

Dil Ki Awaaz.....!!

Dil Ki Awaaz... Ehh... sounds familiar... Isn't it??? ;) Yeah! you get to listen this term a lot of times especially in bollywood flicks :D Heroes saying to heroines- my heart says that i love you and things like that.. Even we often use it in our day to day lives... in taking some of the decisions in our lives..

But do you know, what actually is it? Its your conscience... the Voice Of the GOD!! HE communicates with us everytime.. not only in taking decisions but at every moment of your life.. to make you realise things, their beauty, their meaning.. It depends upon us that how much are we ready to take it and be receptive and aware of it.. Divine guides you throughout your life.. every moment.. For the Divine belongs to you!! :) One needs to be in constant touch with himself to be in constant touch with the Divine...

The simplest ways of the ways for it to be possible includes Yoga, Pranayama and Meditation... These few techniques instantly increase your attention, awareness and receptivity by bringing you totally into the Present moment.... the very moment... and The Present is where you find GOD!!

In the Present moment, when you are calm, peaceful and totally relaxed, you'll start feeling HIM deep within you.. In this blissful state, tears of gratitude flow with a sense of wonder!! Things beyond the comprehension of Science happens which are inexplicable but you don't even care to understand them.. Because at that very moment you are totally immersed in The Divine.. You start conversating with the Divine.. HE conversates in SILENCE! :) :) Universal Truths are revealed to you so effortlessly... This is how the ancient sages and rishis managed to write the sacred Texts like Mahabharata, Ramayana, etc.. and developed vast astronomical and astrological sciences... without any resources, equipments...!!

Things which Science is now discovering have already been written in Mahabharata and other sacred texts thousands of years ago.. Be it concept of "Black matter" that has been long back told in Mahabharata as "Kaal Bhairava" which says- All that we can perceive in this Universe with our five senses in just 1% of what really exists!! Or be it the theory of inter-relativity.. Sages said that every single Living thing in this Universe is connected to every other Living thing... They are all inter-related and inter-dependent.. Science recently discovered that when a certain species of butterflies move their wings in The Amazon forests, that decides and affects the amount and formation of rainy clouds in China... This shows how everything in this universe is related to every other thing.. Examples are innumerable.. Sages conceived all this in their state of Samadhi!

My Gurudeva often says- You have 5 senses and each of them have their specific functions.. You can't hear from your eyes, can't taste from your ears and certainly can't hear from your tongue.. As you have different sense organs to perceive different sensations.. likewise God can't be perceived through any of these senses.. HE can be felt only through your heart...!!

Yoga, Pranayama, Meditation are the gateways to ensure your rendezvous with The Divine and ofcourse with your Dil Ki Awaaz!! SShhhh! Listen... Its saying something...... :)
