My Part 2 course at Bangalore Ashram

Life has been on an amazing ride since 27th February,2013. Yes that was the day when I joined Yes+ course. It feels as if Guruji has just grabbed me by the wrist and taking me to this amazing journey of Life. As I had never done the part 2 course before there was a craving inside to do it asap. When Vishnu Bhaiya told me that it is going to happen very soon during Ugadi weekend. I got all super excited. But later that got cancelled :( . I somehow convinced myself that this was not my time.
But... Indeed it was my time.

Just one day before Ugadi, I felt like going to Ashram for Part 2 course starting next morning. I was not sure if they would allow me to enter as the course begins at 6AM with Long Kriya. I just got into the bus to Bangalore and left everything else on Guruji. I reached ashram at round 9:30 AM and then I felt the absolute bliss and serenity of it.I was not only allowed to enter but also taken in course immediately however I had missed the morning Long Kriya. 
Like every other course the course began with the feeling of Belonging. I learnt another word Sangachhadhwam संगच्छध्वं. Our course teacher was "Bindiya Ji". She was so calm and sweet,every word spoken by her was full of divinity and tranquility.
She nicely guided us through the meditations and various processes. It was an incredible experience being with my own self, realizing who I am in purest sense. When there are no words uttered, no thoughts crossing the mind. It becomes divine!! The experience of Silence is beautiful and soothing. We may not know this, but all of us need a break once in a while for ourselves, for being completely in the present. In part 2 you get that present!

I broke my silence by calling my parents, I just told them that I loved them and suggested them to experience the divinity in themselves by getting on the path. They somehow believed my voice and agreed to do the Part 1 course. Now as I write this mail, My parent are doing part one in Ghaziabad.
After effects ?? Everybody in group observed a sea change in me. I am more beaming, creative. And yes, recently I started singing also :) .
Conclusion: Go ahead and do it now !! If you haven't done it till now!!

A Visit to Sankalp Orphanage

I visited SANKALP orphanage as a part of our monthly Seva activity. If I may add, this was the first time I visited an orphanage and did any kid of Seva in my life.  

I felt in a bliss while serving to the kids, all of a sudden the so called big problems of our lives seemed tinier and I got the much needed perspective.  

I sat with them, saw them eating peacefully and praying before they eat. 

It was overwhelming. 

Now I am attaching my favorite pic, You look into these beautiful eyes and feel mesmerized. I didn't understand their language but I felt these shiny eyes are full of hopes and dreams. I wish together we could fulfill some of them.......

Jai Gurudev!!
