Midnight fun!! Receiving guruji at Airport!!

Well "overflowing grace" ... that's the only phrase i can use to describe my life right now!!
Guruji is back in Bangalore after soooooo many months outside India. So to make it extra special, we all decided to go to the Bangalore International Airport and have the first darshan of him... And so after a couple of great mini satsangs at my home(which we have been having every wednesday for about a year now) and then at Indian Institute of Science, Rashmin Bhaiya, Saleel Bhaiya, Hema di , Madhu di and a bunch of the most enthusiastic volunteers we went to receive guruji...

There were already a few white kurtas fluttering outside the arrivals zone, our entry only made it much more noisy... as if to say 'let's get this party started!!" And so it did.....
After a wait of about and hour we were treated with his divine smile and i can't help sharing this but the closest you can get to him(physically)  is in the airport!!
He was his usual graceful self and just glided into his car after  a brief darshan to everyone.
And then Bawa and Dinesh Bhaiya came after half and hour till when Ramnik Bhaiya had treated us with some of his stomach crunching jokes, we all joined him generously.
It was nothing sort of a party to see guruji, all such senior teachers and volunteers together at the airport floor.....   Guruji, Bawa, Dinesh, Girin, Saleel, Rashmin, Ramnik, Bawa's dad, Devang and a host of others. . .
It was an awesome midnight fun( The flight landed at around 1 pm!!!!)

Holi with Guruji: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and other saints during Holi March 2010

Here are a few for your viewing pleasure....

 Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Swami Ramdev, Chidanand Muniji, Swami Umakantji & Acharya Balkrishanji & Shivamani

The divine in all the colours

Swami Ramdev said: ‘The love & celebration at the Art of Living congregation is bringing out the real essence of Kumbh.’
And when Guruji started playing  holi with the huge devotee gathered. Just then,on behalf of Shankaracharya, his dandi swami paid homage to Sri Sri.

Too sad I could not go this time..... but definitely going next year......

For the time being enjoy these videos where Guruji is at his magical best!

Ashtavakra Gita: The song of Ashtavakra

Oh what a joy and thrill it is to listen to this most privileged of conversation ever to have taken place on this planet. I am talking about the dialogue between the Sage Ashtavakra and King Janaka wherein Janaka leads himself from one exclamation to another saying "Aho!!! Oh ho!! Yes this is my experience now!" for whatever knowledge Ashtavakra imparts to him....
Have been listening to the tapes for the past month.....   30 tapes over today ....only 3 more to go.... will write more about it in the next post.

Fun with designing..

Have been enjoying lately the joy of creating some cool logos, pamphlets and banners just to burst out the fountain of creativity that comes with a happy and joyful mind. Have been more than blown over by corel-draw and so did all these.... Have a look...everything from scratch!!

 More coming soon....
