A blessing in "DISGUISE"

"Jaadu" that was played :) and that ,which will continue to play in my "LIFE"! :)

A very long awaited one.Never found such beautiful bliss inside myself.
Especially (no specially :P) after the ADVANCE course. "The feeling of the sense of belongingness " everywhere in your presence.Well -poised atmosphere , everlasting enthu !(the noblest and greatest gift one certainly receives @ the end the course :) :) )
At the outset ,even i couldn't believe it, but its amazing, :) My heartfelt thanx to all those who accompanied me and had been a part of the advance course this time. It was just a memorable one.Only this much for now.
Have to speak up alot more.
will come back soon :P :) :D
At the end I would just say.
"Don't keep on waiting for the flights"
Chances are waiting,
Just catch hold of them .
Time will make u fly,
So don't miss the BUS NOW,
I took the bus (with the help of many people behind me(most importantly the Volunteers , parents ,the big G(over and above all) ) @ the RIGHT TIME ! :) :) :)
see you soon !!! :P :D

The transformation!

winters.... how do i start? Being brought up in Hyderabad,Vijayawada I never realized there exists such a season, only that i heard the name from books, teachers and saw great snaps from fabulous locations!! Landing up in Pilani 2 years back in the boiling heat, made me long for "the winter"... heard a lot of it from seniors and acquaintances before coming here... "the temperature goes below zero", "its awesome... you can watch the water turn to ice"... the expressions really captured my imagination, i got excited about 'em and it wasn't long(3 and a half months only) before fiiiiiinally seasons changed and........?????????


It wasn't quite what i expected... actually it was all of what i hadn't expected! I realized subzero temperatures meant layers and layers of clothing(which i absolutley hate) and still shivering cause they're not enough!No heaters in rooms... solar water heaters and no sun meant cold water baths(no baths for most people for weeks!... but i can't stand being untidy so had to take bath!) and the lsit goes on... cold creams(which i absolutely hate and couldn't avoid) etc etc... I absolutely hated winters! All it took was 1 of 'em!


So what changed?Well a lot actually... only that the change is within me :).I now have wonder in my eyes and my heart and love to embrace anyone and anything!Well how?? Knowledge... of acceptance, and what peace it brings!Accept and that minute the complaining, sulking mind suddenly comes to peace!(also finds solutions if required...)I accept the cold,the fog, the cold water,... everything! And a second later I'm amazed by the beauty of the place,the weather, and the moment!!Wonder dawns in my eyes and my heart and I'm totally surprised... just a few moments back it all seemed a pain!

And then I remember one of the most beautiful quotes by Guruji
" When you follow fun, misery follows you. When you follow knowledge, fun follows you!".I'm grateful to have this among other knowledge in my life :).(not that i have much :) )

p.s. the famous quote now seems pretty apt to me
"Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder"!!

Happy New Year !!!

A rap song for you :

Its time to get up n get groovin' ! Ha !
Life's now gonna get movin' ! Ha !

2010 is the year of YES!+
Bringing huge smiles for each n all of us

With Sadhna, Seva, Satsang and Surrender
Make ur minds sharp and ur hearts tender

Do not forget ur lovely smile
Which handles roughest terrains with guile

Send all your troubles to the Big Mr. G
There'll be no more trouble for u n me

With a sparkle in your eye say 'Jai GuruDev'
That alone will change the way u behave

Its time for Spirituality up all we stood
We don't have a good time, we make times good

So lets come together and have a lot of fun
And bask in the glory of the rising Sun !!




Jai Guru Dev

Love

Vishesh
