It has been a busy 2012 so far! So here is the update as to
what we have been upto these days. It started with assisting Winter Break! It
was an amazing experience! We just observed that how strong Dinesh
Bhaiya’s presence is. You sit in front of him and meditation happens! Like
Guruji says..”Only a meditator can make you meditate! “We got to learn a lot. I
am so proud of Rajkot volunteer team who helped us throughout the
organising till the time they went into silence! It was so much easier with
they helping us!
After the Winter Break got over we stayed back at the
Ashram and did an advanced course. After the advanced course got over Guruji
was in ashram and we met him personally after a long time! We also cooked
Gujarati food for Bau, Dinesh Bhaiya, JD Bhaiya, Devang bhaiya and other WAYE
team members! It was the first time we were cooking for 15 people…the food
turned out to be really good or that’s what we believe!
When we got back from ashram, we had to go and take a YES!+
at Junagadh Agricultural University (JAU) where there were around 400
participants. My sister, Gauri and I had a nice time taking the YES!+
at JAU and also we had fun in the city. We went to the
Girnar… well not the peak, we just climbed a few steps! Pruthu took
us to have the yummiest sweet lassi I have ever had in my life!
Once we were back from Jungadh, we got on to organising Bau
and Dinesh Bhaiyas’ YES!+. It was really worth seeing how the YES!+ and Sahaj
Samadhi course got organised! We didn’t have to work too hard! Once Rajshree
Didi had said that one needs to check how one is organising. Whether its
getting organised through Tamas or Rajas or is it Satva? One thing I am sure
of…these courses were organized out of Satva. Well, we didn’t do group
sadhna but we surely did rigorous sadhna at respective homes as per each one’s
office and college schedule, but yeah group bhojan and group yog nidra
happened ! It was really funny that so many people thought we were just
bluffing that Bau and Dinesh Bhaiya are going to come to Rajkot! So many people
did not apply for YES!+ just due to this reason! I just pity them! All
the volunteers and YES!+ participants were awed by Bau’s wit and Dinesh
Bhaiya’s charm! Kudos again to the Rajkot volunteer team! Organising 200
people YES!+ in Rajkot is after all not a cake walk !
After Bau and Dinesh Bhaiyas’ visit, all the volunteers were
ready for some heavy duty knowledge since they had gone hollow and empty due to
the sewa! So we thought why not fill the big empty space with
Ashtavakra so that it would get absorbed in a jiffy.
Ashtavakra worked wonders for all… it was as if all those continous 33 days all
of us were living in a fantasy land reined by Ashtavakra’s all pervading
knowledge and Guruji creating ample of situations so that all of us could
implement the knowledge. Ashtavakra has never stopped amazing me.
Recently we organized Yogathon at 2 venues. One was at RK
University which had around 350 participants and another venue was a Party Plot
which we got for free! The Party Plot had lush green lawn, coconut trees and
doctors from a famed hospital in Rajkot doing free checkups. Doing 108
Suryanamaskars was a cake walk for almost all! With the cool breeze at the
venue there was not even single drop of sweat! There were around 200-300 participants
who had some serious fun! After the Yogathon event got over there was a small
surprise for all the volunteers waiting at our home! An ice cream parlor had
sponsored ice creams for all the volunteers!
Now waiting for my exams to get over and then getting back
to action with full force!
Jai Gurudev!

PS : Meanwhile, me (Krishna) went for an advance
course with Rishi Vidhyadharji, made some recipes which made Sweta’s
taste buds break into dance.
