My daily Blog Feb 8, 2024

I could not post anything on my blog yesterday. But I will finish my 365 blog posts this year without a doubt. So ignore the dates. I think i should keep some backup drafts ready to publish. 

8 Feb 2024. My guru Sri Sri RaviShankar visited Pune. Our very own Markal Ashram. It was a divine day. I felt a lot of noise in my mind vanished as soon as he came to Pune. 

He said the lights could be of different colors and shapes but the electricity flowing through it is the same. Same way we all look different but the divinity inside us is the same.

He also mentioned about the D3 and B12 vitamins. I am testing them tomorrow. They make you feel lazy he said. Also the overeating makes you lazy. 

A lot of tears of gratitude were seen yesterday. Mine included. Mine was of love. I feel gratitude creates a distance. I felt solace and I also noticed that people of art of living are truly like your family. You will feel the connection even with the unknown people here. 

Guruji also said - Good and bad , right and wrong everything is a part of same divinity. So dissolve!!

I remember the Ashtavakra geeta sessions by him. I will write about that tomorrow! 

Also, probably guruji's blessings that the number of views on my blog spiked yesterday. suddenly a 500% increase in views...!! I wonder how??

Happy Friday!

I am planning to watch a movie tonight. I hope I will be able to finish the household work in time. I will ask Sumit to decide which one to watch. Our choices match when it comes to movie. Else I will finish the Shooter. Its still not completed.

Today, I was not well again. yesterday, I went to the doctor also. Got my medicines. Sometimes, people and situation really hurt. But you have to keep your composure. 

Guruji say Only the best happens to a devotee. I don't think of myself as a great devotee but then the next video from Guruji says -Keep telling yourself that only the best will happen to me. 

This is true. In the end, everything falls in place. It has to. Why? and How can I say so? 

Basically its because he loves his meditation! So, he sorts the stuff and closes his eyes!!!

The half open eyes are even more meditative he says!!

My Daily Blog, Jan 26, 2024

I am late in posting this particular post. One day late!!! But, my Guru Sri Sri Ravishankar once said a very beautiful statement. There should be always some place for imperfection in your life.

Expecting perfection everywhere will increase your feverishness. I have really lived this. He also explained that there is no such thing as perfect action in this world. Either there will be flaw in the action/skill/ the technique or in the doer or in the intention. If all the 3 constraints are perfect;- that is- Your intention is right, your way of doing is perfect and it does not have any latent effects , then you are almost an Avtaar. (Like Sri krishna/ Sri Ram)

Avtaar means a person has not taken birth to repay his good or bad karmaas. He just came to show the light to the world.

So, missing a blog was imperfect. But i can still continue. I want to post 365 posts this year. 

My kid had republic day celebration at school. But we let her be at home this year. She is reacting to the cold environment in Pune. Pune is being the coldest in the state this time. It is not a good idea to miss the flag hosting in school. But this time we let her rest.

I did some household work. I will be planting some trees this long weekend. Cold is affecting me also. I will buying some plants very soon. 

Jai Gurudev,

My Daily Vlog, Jan 18, 2024

 Today I listened to Sri Sri Ravishankar's opinion on Ayodhya Temple. Some people are saying that the Temple is not completely built yet. Then Ram lalla's Pran Pratishtha should not be done before that.

Guruji said, the Rameshwar temple was built later. Ram and Lakshmana had already done pran pratishtha before building the Ram Setu. Same way the other 12 Jyotirlinga like Badrinath, kedarnath etc , they were also 'swayambhu' and the temples were built later by humans. 

Such great logic this is. He also said that 22 Jan 2024 is a good day and even if there were any flaws, Gurus are there to guide the people.

So true!! 

I am so fortunate that I could listen to AshtaVakra Geeta and Narada Bhakti Sutra by Sri Sri Ravishankar in my college days. Its like he has redefined the word 'BEAUTY'. Pure solace those videos are. I miss those days and moments. 

It is so strange that when a moment is precious , we always realize its importance later. When history is being created, people creating the history are not aware of how precious those initial moments are. & This is how it should be. Otherwise all the naturalness is gone.

Today, I had severe back pain but I managed my tasks and I did my office tasks faster. I shouted at my kid today morning. I felt guilty later. I need to be more patient with her. They blossom at their own pace. we sitting next to them and waiting for them to show all the intelligence in a day does not help. 

Jai Gurudev
