Thoughts about Satsang



Satsang is that which kindles the trust. -- Sri Sri

As literally understood, it is the company of truth.

Satsang is the best companion to the destination. -- Sage Vaistha


So, apart from the above and music, sound and vibration, what crossed my mind, while pondering about what satsang means to me, I have penned down here.


Satsang ....
                 is a game of communication.



Satsang ....
                 is a play of the 'Prana'.


Satsang ....
                 is influenced by the three 'Gunas'.


Satsang ....
                 is founded on devotion.


Satsang ....
                 runs on participation.


Satsang ....
                 is a cry of the soul.


Satsang ....
                 is the culmination of an intensely burning longing.




Satsang ....
                 is an act of letting go.


Satsang ....
                 is surrender, merging with the Infinite, dissolving in the Existence, union with the Divine.


Satsang ....
                 is realizing that 'I don't exist', 'only the Truth exists'.


Satsang ....
                 is becoming the 'Sat' - 'Truth'.


Satsang ....
                 is realizing that 'I am the Truth - SatChittAnand'





Shivohum, shivohum, shivohum, shivohum....
Amar atma Satchidanand main hun.

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

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 :)

Image
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...

Kishore Kumar gives YES!+ Intro Talk in IIT Delhi

We were campaigning for YES!+ in IIT Delhi. Around 5 pm we took a break, sat to have maggi and biscuits at a Nescafe joint. And grace manifested as a spontaneous musical message. Of course its a very old famous Bollywood number (originally sung by Kishore Kumar), but the adaptation turned out just perfect! Watch it here: JHUMROO TALKS Cheers Saleel
