My ongoing tryst with spirituality- blessingly graced by The Enlightened Guru: Paramhansa Shri Vishwananda Swami!

From the very first cry to breathe oxygen after coming out from the pool of Amniotic fluid in Mother's womb within few hours of the Jain ritual of Saamayik (Kshamapana) on last day of Eight days observance of Paryushan in Jain tradition which coincided with third day of Lord Ganesha Chaturthi festival, to growing up while listening to religious sermons, watching photographs that depict life stories of the Enlightened Tirthankaras and hearing them repeatedly from my beloved Grandma and Mom, then becoming a SadGuru Shri Sai Baba Bhakta during my teenage, then fast forward into worshipping all Hindu God’s, Deities realizing my love for learning and reciting Sanskrit shlokas-verses with great fondness , to visiting historical places of great Saints from various traditions, to being a loving daughter of Mother Mary- my Confidante to broken and heavy heart many a times in this lifetime, to learning Vipassana, to fleeting thoughts of renouncing the world, to intense aspiration to leave for Himalayas in search of SadGuru Shri Mahavtar Babaji, to experiencing energy and aura in Pranic Healing….its been a long continuous journey of seeking answers to my insatiable quest from a very early age…the quest for Truth about Existence !

My beloved SadGuru Shri Sai Baba whom I call Sai Maa , is my First Spiritual Teacher to whom I prayed as soon as I could understand a little about Divinity, prayed to HIM for divine guidance for helping me stay on correct path and bless me to find answers to my quest, and He has always kept HIS Blessing Hands on my head throughout my Life till today and am sure Forever....He then guided me into Vipassana meditation for quite a few years, which propagates the importance of working towards liberation.

The best part of Vipassana meditation is that it helped me to become very  conscious and aware about subtle sensations on the body. This worked like a catalyst in helping me experience truth about Energy and Aura around body, as taught in Pranic healing propagated by the Great Bodhisattva MahaGuruji Mei Ling and revived in modern day world by revered SadGuru Grand Master Choa Kok Sui. In fact, Pranic healing as explained by Master Stephen Co(my humble gratitude), a direct disciple of SadGuru Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, actually revived my interest in accepting the fact that Hindu verses, shlokas and chanting of OM have real strong cleansing energy vibrations ( Earlier I would ignore the chanting part as it wasn’t given much importance in Jain or Vipassana tradition). This renewed interest led me to attend a beautiful OM Chanting session organized by Bhaktimarga Devotees in Mumbai and indeed it was very powerful, especially as it conducts the powerful energies from The Great Ones such as Sadguru Mahavatar Babaji and HIS Direct Disciple Gurudev Paramhansa Vishwananda Swami himself. I had such a wonderful experience then, that I decided to take Online Darshan of Gurudev which is conducted regularly from His Ashram in Germany. 

Magically, after the online Darshan of Gurudev, my Mother could sleep peacefully and soundly like a baby....without any troubling thoughts of worry (as per her own testimony the very next morning when she woke up). This was after a long period of continuous mental stress of more than a year, due to some personal reasons that devastated peace and happiness of our family) It was this miracle experienced by my Mom that made me strongly desire for personal Darshan of Gurudev after that…and Boom, my wish was kindly granted by the Mysterious and Kind Universe.. Soon I learnt through BhaktiMarga Devotees that Gurudev was visiting Vrindavan in Mid November. I really wished to visit Vrindavan for the same, but because of some unavoidable circumstances I couldn’t plan it. Hence reached out to a friend who introduced me to this Tradition and he informed that Gurudev will be visiting Maharashtra after Vrindavan but He won’t be meeting anyone there. My heart just lit up and I made up my mind that I will visit with Mom wherever Gurudev visits in Maharashtra so we can be fortunate to receive His Darshan face to face. I connected with a Bhaktimarga Sevak, asking about possibility to have His Darshan during visit to Maharashtra. And fortunately received a positive reply. We would want to consider ourselves fortunate for getting the permission to have His Gracious Darshan at Pandharpur. 

Till the very afternoon of the day we were taking a Train to Pandharpur,  I had no idea about how my trip to Pandharpur will pan out. All I had was just a one way train reservation for ourselves to Pandharpur as I was very very keen on having the Darshan of Gurudev Paramhansa Shri Vishwananda Swami during his ultra short stay in India.

In fact I wouldn’t have known Pandharpur so well in life, was it not for HIS Darshan. Luckily because of the kindness of a recently known Family (who is now like an extended Family to us) through my Foster Father (am blessed to have known him after unfortunate passing away of my Papa), we were extremely well taken care of during our stay in Pandharpur. It was like another home, away from home… They made all arrangements for us and even arranged a vehicle to visit Akkalkot Shri Swami Samartha Baba. While on our way to Akkalkot, we received God sent message that Gangapur Guru Dattatreya and Aai Shri Tudjapur Bhavani Maa were at close distance.. so we had fantastic Darshan of all these Divine Gurus and Shaktipeeth and everything just fell into place, on its own..After our return we had great Darshan of Gurudev Paramhansa Shri Vishwananda Swami. We reached the venue where He was staying, a little late, and just at the time when He was about to leave for some place. My heart skipped a beat thinking whether we will be able to have His kind Darshan because we came all the way from Mumbai for that. He was so full of kindness, affection and love, He changed His plans and gave us satisfying time and special Darshan there and then. His all-embracing loving kindness and affection for his Disciples is to be experienced to be believed..He patiently addressed to our queries bothering us and foretold the answers with His Focussed Time-Piercing All-knowing Knowledge  that made us feel calm and reassured about the trials we are facing at the time. I am so happy I made that decision and no wonder, now, I realise how it all was divinely planned.. 

After this we had the lovely Darshan of Lord Panduranga and His beloved Rakhumaai Mata at the famous Lord Panduranga Temple… and luckily could meet the heir of Saint Namdeoji whose life stories are of awe inspiring love and devotion for Lord Panduranga.. In fact I learnt about the secret underground tunnels connecting all the local houses in Pandharpur to the great Temple..and how they have been sealed by the Government now…it was an amazing experience of my life…

In Fact I have now became a Devotee of Lord Panduranga who is an avatar of Lord Krishna… All Thanks to Gurudev Paramhansa Shri Vishwananda Swami and this divinely arranged beyond-my-wildest-imagination trip that panned out beautifully on an amazing autopilot.

The mysteries of Universe and The Divine unfolds everyday in my Life mysteriously... bringing Abundance in my Being through such events, that keep re-inforcing my Faith & Patience on the journey of Life.

Jai Gurudev _/\_

Story of Puchku & Jungli Billi

When they met, world ceased to exist around them.. both had eyes, ears, arms, jokes, embraces, kisses only for each other... 

It was an immediate connect from the very first time... like they knew each other since ages... this pull couldn't let them stay away from each other against all odds ... against all the cliches and norms of society.. they tried best to avoid getting too far than friendship and knowing... but the strange unseen force kept pulling them towards each other like magnets..

Like many love stories this one had its ups and downs.. its periods of misunderstandings and patch ups.. its shares of "love you - miss you" to "dont wanna talk or see you"... but one thing that was very uncommon was the types and multitudes of coincidences that ceaselessly kept pouring between the two lovebirds whenever they met... not once not twice.. everytime they met there had to be some miraculous coincidence occur between the two...they were living and breathing those coincidences which Jungli Billi would always refer to as Divine Miracles...

There were a continuum and series of such miracles which went on connecting their hearts bit by bit from the very first day and they just did not realise when they got trapped in the feelings of Love... 

One evening before they were committed to each other, while driving around, they were discussing about the issues around their relationship if they were to commit and be more than just friends. The environment became little intense.. Jungli Billi switched on the radio to deviate the topic and lighten up the mood.. An RJ LoveGuru started speaking up as he was solving the problem of a listener who wrote to him...the question put up by listener was exactly the situation Puchku &  Jungli Billi were discussing.. as if these both just called up this RJ personally to ask what they must do....RJ advised the listener that both need to carefully consider if they can convince their parents at home or not. If they can, then move ahead. If not, Will they be able to go against their parents' wishes and emotional blackmails?...If they think they can.. then move ahead..  if cannot, then better stop right there or else it will be too difficult to part ways once they are too much attached to each other! And one more option, if they feel thet can convince their parents after sometime maybe in years, wait for that period and then take it forward if they loved each other so much...

Both Puchku &  Jungli Billi kept staring in awe at each other and couldn't stop wondering what just happened.. for Jungli Billi it was Angels speaking.. she looked at Puchku's reaction .. Puchku was lost in thoughts... To Be or Not To Be !

Fiction.....to be continued....

TRIBUTE TO THE REAL DHONI OF ACTING - SUSHANT SINGH RAJPUT

Written as was channeled in a flow, Audio-video Created with love and Recited from the heart -  A Heartfelt Tribute to A Moon - Star - Sushant Singh Rajput :

अपने साहस और हुनर की वजह से इंडियन फ़िल्म इंडस्ट्री में अति तीव्र गति से उभरता हुआ सितारा जिसने अपनी ख़ुशमिज़ाजी स्वभाव और  कला से  अनेकों का दिल बोहोत ही कम समय में अनायास ही  जीत लिया था. ऐसे मल्टी टैलेंटेड मल्टी फसेटेड एक्टर सुशांत सिंह राजपूत दुर्भाग्यवश हमारे बीच नहीं रहे . उनकीं आत्मा को सांत्वना देने के प्रयास में कुछ शब्द लिख रही हूँ...

Dearest सुशांत...

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए...

तुम्हारा शेर जैसा जिग़र,

बाज़ जैसी नज़र,

अत्यंत तेज़ बुद्धि-चातुर्य-ज्ञान..

तुम्हारी आतंरिक ख़ूबसूरती को बयान करने वाली

वो तुम्हारी प्यारी सी मुस्कान...

इन सबकी तुलना में

वो सारे भूके लीचड़ बईमान भेड़ियों का रत्तीभर वजूद... न कभी था न कभी होगा !

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए...

जब तुम्हारे मुक्त, स्वतन्त्र, भविष्यदृष्टा, निडर और मस्त मौला मन को

कुछ मुट्ठीभर लोग अपने काबू में नहीं कर पाए,

जब वह तुमसे अपनी नज़र

उनके सामने जबरन नहीं झुकवा पाए

तो दगेबाज़ी से ही सही,

उन ईर्षालु लोगों नेतुम्हे इस जीवन से

हमेशा के लिए मुक्त करवा दिया 

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए...

जो लोग अपने हुनर या कला से

तुम्हे ना हरा पाए, तो दोस्त बनकर

तुम्हारे ही घर में तुम्हारी ही मौत का फरमान ले आये !

ऐसे झूठे, मक्कार, मतलबी, नालायक दोस्तों की रची हुई बार-बार  की ऐसी घटिया साज़िशों से

हमेशा के लिए तुम्हारा पीछा तो छूटा !

वैसे भी विषकन्या की प्रथा जन्मो जनम से चलती आ रही है... 

जो शायद तुमपर भी खूब आज़मायी गयी!

किसके अहंकार या क्रोध या ईर्ष्या के शिकार बन गए तुम सुशांत?

क्यों इतना भरोसा कर लिया अपने आस पास वालों पर तुमने सुशांत?

यूँही, क्यों बोल देते थे तुम??? -

" Its important to learn how not to be careful?"

काश ! काश! काश!

You learnt how to be careful, Whom not to trust!!!!

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए सुशांत...

लाखो करोडो भारतीय  युवा युवती

जो तुम्हारी ही तरह अपनों का  साथ  छोड़कर 

इस शहर की बदनाम गलियों में

अपने सपनों को ढूँढते हुए आते  है, 

उन्हें चका चौंध कर देने वाली

इस काली, खोकली  और ज़ालिम

सुनहरे परदे वाली दुनिया का पर्दाफाश तो हुआ,

आखिरकार उसका सच्चा और असली चेहरा सामने तो आया!

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए...

तुम्हारी अंतिम तस्वीर को देखकर

गली का जच्चा बच्चा भी साफ़ देख सकता है

की तुम्हारे साथ आखिर में क्या ज़ोर ज़बरदस्ती हुई होगी

और एक भारतीय नागरिक होते हुए

मुझे ये कहते बेहद शर्म और अफ़सोस महसूस होता है की 

इस देश में न्याय और कानून के ठेकेदार

इतनी प्रत्यक्ष दिखने वाली इस संशयस्पद घटना को

गर आत्महत्या घोषित कर देंगे

और तुम्हारे कातिलों को बा-इज़्ज़त बरी कर देंगे  

तो अपनी नपुंसकता और बिकाऊपन का इससे बड़ा कोई सबूत नहीं दे पाएंगे

उनके हाथ तुम्हारे ख़ून से उतने ही रंगे होंगे जितने कि तुम्हारे निर्दयी हत्यारों के !

गर ऐसी नाइंसाफी आदमी की अदालत में हो भी जाए...

तो दुआ है रब से हमारी...

उन सब गुनहगारों पर कुदरत का ऐसा केहर बरसाए,

उन्हें रोते हुए भीक मांगने पर भी मौत ना आये !

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए...

तुम्हारे जैसे नामचीन और जानी मानी हस्ती की दर्दनाक हत्या को आत्महत्या का रूप दिए जाने पर

हमें ये ज़रूर समझ में आ गया है की

हमारे जीवन की सुरक्षा के लिए हमें ही आत्मनिर्भर बनना पड़ेगा

ताकि फिर कभी कोई मौकापरस्त बुज़दिल कातिल

हमपर या हमारे प्रियजनों पर आत्महत्या का 

गलत बेबुनियाद प्रयोग और उपयोग दोनों ही न कर सके

शायद अच्छा ही हुआ जो तुम चले गए...

ऐसे साइको, कायर, नामर्द, निर्दयी, बेरहम, स्वार्थी लोगों

के चुंगुल से निकलकर

आखिर में तुम्हे अपनी प्यारी माँ की ममता भरी गोद

और उनके निःस्वार्थ प्रेम का आँचल तो नसीब हुआ!

तुम्हारी दुखभरी अंतिम घडी को महसूस करते हुए

कुछ पंक्तियाँ याद आती है...

"हमें तो अपनों ने लूट लिया गैरों में कहाँ दम था?

हमारी कश्ती वही डूबी जहां पानी कम था !!!"

RIP #SushantSinghRajput ...With your Talent, carefree and risk taking attitude, your down-to-earth nature, your brilliant inquisitive versatile brains, your shooting the Bollywood skies in such a short span of time...You have definitely left your mark in the hearts of millions which nobody ......nobody whomsoever will be able to ever erase, inspite of their failed attempts to erase your achievements or your existence on Earth !!!

       

Few Memories while watching "Kedarnath"  Movie of SSR! 

Unforgettable, Unbelievably Surreal & Unrealistically Real!

Dedicating them to SSR!

One of my one-liners

BEING HAPPY is a HABIT that needs to be created, instilled and repeated infinite times till it becomes a way of life... a natural way of Being !!!

EVERYTHING THAT SHINES IS NOT DIAMOND AND EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD !!!

Sushant Singh Rajput and Shahrukh Khan .... Both have such similar stories... both being outsiders... without any Celebrity parent or connections or Godfather in the industry. .. both came to Mumbai without a penny and struggled out to be projected on the Silver Screen space... both entered Bollywood from TV serials... both  became known for their onscreen presence and chemistry in a very short span of time ...both loved to live life Kingsize and hence he was the only star who purchased land on Moon...yes the real Moon...bought the costliest car of his dream...all this dream becoming a reality for him could make any successful Actor or Star kid be really envious of their jetspeed climbs on the Ladder of success... He could have become the next King of Bollywood like Shahrukh.... if and only if... like Shahrukh Khan , he remained with one woman who loved him truly and completely.... the one who stood by his side when he was absolutely nothing... who never questioned his income, his education, his family background, his choices...but supported him with so much love and care for such a long time.... I wish , instead of getting carried away by peer pressure of the fake company he came in touch with after joining high end Bollywood movies, fake glamour and fake glitz who must have consciously or unconsciously affected or pressurised his mentality to instead look for a girlfriend who will suit his new bollywood avatar, rockstar status and personality with a sexy sensuous high maintenance WOMAN like a starkid or an arm candy which he kept dating and hopping from one to another ...he failed miserably as obvious from his confession to his psychiatrist that he made a mistake of breaking up with the first one...as he could never find that pristine selfless unconditional love and support he experienced from her..  Sadly, in the process of getting fame and name in this Dikhawe ki Duniya... he left the one who was there for him always... in the false hopes of having an arm candy who would only want his name or fame or money or status or contacts but not his heart or else why would the last one leave him just when he was in huge depression knowing he had lost all his Projects to nepotism in the industry....
Only if, like Shahrukhs conviction to Gauri Khan, he would have made a choice that was more saner and conscience based, his personal world would have been strong and unshakable and with a strong love by his side he could have overcome this temporary storm of nepotism.... maybe because of his poor choice He lost his true and genuine light of love!
Truly sad!
You value something only after it is lost!!!!!
EVERYTHING THAT SHINES IS NOT DIAMOND AND EVERYTHING THAT GLITTERS IS NOT GOLD !!!

Does it even matter????????

What is taught in schools and colleges today, doesnt even matter
&
Sadly, what truly matters to live a better life, understanding the principles for the beautiful Art of living, is just not taught at all !!!!

The Roots of "Missing someone"

                                                                                  

Wondered ever?

What "missing someone" really means

It is the addiction

Of the Feel-Good-Factor

Of the warm hugs and the sweet memories

Of the good times ; unending joy

Of the mischiefs ; unlimited fun

Of withstanding together all the bad times, with unanimous support

Of Loving & being loved Exclusively

Of the assumptions

That someone truly believes in you

That someone unflinchingly stands

By you & for you, no-matter-what !

It is that addiction

Which blinds your heart

As deeply entrenched in love

You forget to look

At your own self and your own needs

Of loving,  respecting and truly caring for yourself

You Forget to knowing the right balance

Between loving yourself and loving the other

Of letting go that which pulls you down

It is the addiction

That makes you hold on to the Ashes

Makes you Blame yourself

Blame the other &

Blame everything

To create more drama and pain

Until you realise

That, Addiction can only

Add unwanted friction in life

Gladly But,

Once you reach 

To the roots

Of this Friction,

Deep within the crevices

Of a broken heart

At that very moment of self-reflection

You find your real self

You see your face you've never seen

Feel your emotions you've never known

That ultimately leads to the sweet surrender

To the God in you, truly deserving

And You discover

All the whens, the whys, the hows

Of blindly investing unlimited emotions

In another human being

Took away your own power

From you within!

And That my dear Friend

Is the time,

You set your Soul truly Free

When you truly discover

The Roots of "Missing Someone" !!!
