Nice quotes

We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing.

We make a Living by what we get. We make a Life by what we give.

God promises a safe landing, not a calm passage.

If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.

Session with Bawa-n-Dinesh in Delhi on 21Jan'09

Image
I am sure it must have happened sometime in your life, you are walking on the street, just passing a cake shop, and you slow down wondering whether you should give in to the temptation and indulge, you have almost decided not to, and a gentle breeze parcels a whiff of sweet aromatic air right into your nose! You almost taste the black forest with cherries or a wlanut almond or a pineapple watermelon with roasted cashew toppings....yuummmmm....Now you are left with no choice. In the next couple of minutes you are walking out of the shop licking the melting chocolate off your fingers :-) Bawa and Dinesh visited Delhi for a couple of days and all of the above happened, metaphorically and actually too! And their session on the 21st evening was like that - a gentle whiff packed with a lot of goodies. Knowledge Bawa said Guruji explained dispassion beautifully. He said, a desire to have any pleasurable experience springs up when you see or hear something about it. This desire or craving is c...

Shyam mila de...Radhe Radhe :)

We have a very famous bhajan in The Art of Living. "Nikunj me biraaje Ghanshyam Radhe Radhe", a song from the KRISHNA album. The lyrics of this song give such wonderful knowledge. The song says, "Nikunj me biraaje Ghanshyam Radhe Radhe,  Ghanshyam Radhe Radhe tu Shyam se mila de,  Radhe Radhe, Shyam mila de,  Shyam mila de, Radhe Radhe" Meaning: The 'Best' way to get to the man is through his girlfriend/wife. So, if you want to meet Krishna go through Radha or become Radha. So who is this Radha? What is this Radha? Where is this Radha? Can I get her phone no. or atleast her email id? Can I add her as a friend on facebook?  :-) Ok. Ok. Relax! Don't Panic. Whatever is happening to you right now is 'DHARA'.   The mind is pulled by the five senses. The eyes want to see. The ears want to hear. The nose wants to smell. The tongue wants to taste. The skin wants to touch. This mind flowing outwards is DHARA. And RADHA is the reverse, the mind flowing inw...

Blessed with a jet of Satva

The airport, spread over 4000 acres, can handle 11 million people per annum with 27 aircraft movements per hour and an estimated 550 movements in May 2008. At its peak, it can handle 720 aircraft movements in a day. You are right, its the new Bengaluru Airport . Well, after a rejuvenating TRM with 1000 teachers from all over the country and of course Guruji, I checked in at 12 noon at counter 2 (you can see in the pic above) for my 1.00 pm Mumbai Indigo flight and sat on the bench exactly opposite (you obviously cant see in the pic) and after some amount of calculation, speculation and haa-naa haa-naa, finally did my Short Sudarshan Kriya. I must admit, I was very concious, especially while doing the Bhastrika. Thoughts like 'what if someone objects?', 'if some passenger waiting besides me complaints then what?', 'what if some security guy actually comes up to me and stops me?'; and to counter these thoughts, phrases like 'Dont be a football...', 'w...
