Hearts are melting in the fire of Love, Minds are evolving in the sattva of Sadhana,   Egos are dissolving in the ocean of Grace,   Their consciousness is being awakened in the light of this Knowledge and Their Self is radiating the presence of the Guru. --Witnessing the Magic unfolding wonder after wonders, Aho Niranjano! Jai Gurudev!!! :-)

The Hamburg Part1 course for repeaters from Oct 14 to 18th was very special. I realized that when the students are good sadhaks, the teachers experience goes deeper, and the teachers job becomes easy. The knowledge was opening veil after veil and tickling the conciousness of the people as they went more and more in awe of it. Discovered two new games which were absolute fun and offered wonderful insight into the mind. The meditations used to be so deep, nobody would want to open their eyes, even after it was over. On the last day, after the aura meditation, it was spellbound, the silence was speaking something so profound and blissful, love and gratitude could be heard and grace could be felt like a fragrance in every breath. I experienced effortlessness of doing and hollow and emptiness of the being. Love, prayers and gratitude Yours, in service Saleel

Thats the Afghan Hindu Temple in Rotenburgsort in Hamburg where we had the magical satsang on the 6th night of Navratri. This is a small place of worship in the Vietnamese restaurant we visited for dinner yesterday evening An amazing musical instrument. The guy is just rotating a pulley and the instrument gives out decent music. This is how he earns some money. Now, this is total let go, surrender, almost like samadhi! Divij, the son of Gaurav and Rutika Garg, who were doing the YES!+ course in Dusseldorf last week.  When 100% naughtiness is mixed with 100% innocence and 100% belongingness what you get is Sweetness: Abhijit and Aditya, sons of Shailaja and Deepak Patil in whose house I stayed in Berlin for a couple of days. And these are angels from the house of Rashmi and Anil Ahluwalia, a very sweet and divine couple who belong to one of the very affluent business families from Dusseldorf. These angels are wishing you Shanti Rastu, Pushti Rastu, Tushti Rastu. May you be blessed w...

As I stepped out of the wood-and-hay clad meditation hall in our Vasad ashram in Gujarat, I was still in the 'hangover' of the intoxicating Guru puja chant by Bhanu didi, my being was graced by the sight of my Guru looking invitingly at me and walking, as though gliding like a cloud. With a welcoming smile he said, "Saleel, tujhe pata hai main tujhe Germany bhej raha hun." There was such a personal touch in that statement. I was delighted. Two and a half months in Germany were quite challenging. It taught me acceptance and patience. My daily reading of Yoga Vasishtha helped me a lot. I am grateful to Vikram Hazra for having recommended my name to Guruji. And I had a wonderful time with Vikram in Germany. This is the first course I taught which was organised by Christoff Glaser. It was conducted in our beautiful ashram in Bad Antogast. The below pic was taken when the entire batch went for a walk in the Black Forest in the Alps, which is where our ashram is located, ve...

I am still quite excited about my new camera Nikon Coolpix (P90), 12.1 MPxl, 24x Zoom Here are some pics I am proud of: Thats a Kurta button, notice the clarity in the cloth Sunrise, overlooking from Mahavir Hall, Vishalakshi Mantap, Ashram, Bangalore No, its not from our Satellite, its a pic of our satellite very much from our earth. The below pic was taken a minute before the above pic The Glory of the Sun and Moon cannot match the glory of our naughty sweet Master. This was how he made his entry in the Winter Break 09 on 2nd Jan before lunch and won 1382 hearts instantly!

Om Keshavaya Namaha Om Madhavaya Namaha Om Narayanaya Namaha Om Govindaya Swaha A highly pious. serene and sacred experience which left @ 30 of us in total gratitude for the Master. 27 Aug 2009 was that auspicious day. The beautiful Radha Kunj Yagya place in the ashram in Bangalore witnessed 30 of us being initiated into Brahminhood. We now have official rights for chanting the Gayatri Mantra Japa Vandana, wearing the sacred thread and reading the Vedas (or Knowledge sheets as Rashmin puts it ) Well, the above pic may leave you completely confused about what must have been happenning when this pic was taken, bcoz no two expressions are alike! Looks like all of them are wondering, what was the purpose of this 3 hour long process? Traditonally, when a child had to start his education, the Upanayan ceremony would be performed. This ceremony used to be of paramount importance, next only to marriage, as it was his marriage with knowledge. His parents would initiate him and only then he coul...
