Stale Post!

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!
