After A Gap of 9 Years

Some of you might be knowing that I used to play Classical Guitar when I was a small kid. Thanks to my wonderful parents for enrolling me into classical music background since a very early age similar to my sister.

My sister, Neha Joshi, is an unusually good classical singer. A person who has represented herself at my stage shows at both State as well as National Level.

So, a very obvious thing for me too to adapt the same culture. Although, in my parents word, I used to crib a lot while going for my guitar classes but sincerely, when today I can express my feelings into it, I realize the worth of it and feel grateful to my parents for providing me such a beautiful knowledge.

My guitar education started under the guidance of Mrs. Shanta Sen in Sangeet Natya Niketan, Udaipur. But after a some 4 years, I shifted under Dr. Raghu. Under their guidance, I cleared my CCRT (Center of Cultural Resources And Training) Scholarship in playing classical guitar.

But your mind is very powerful, and after a regular practice of playing guitar for 7 long years, I decide to leave it aside to give priority to my studies (a time during my 10+2). Obviously, one of the biggest blunder of my life.

But after 9 years, some sense has come back into my powerful mind and I desperately felt the need to reincarnate the same guitarist in me who died almost a decade ago.

Seldom did I knew here that what is gonna happen when I touch the same chords again after this long duration. But this is what happened. Please play the video below to hear to some very simple SARGAM (20 mins). Hopefully, you would like it.
(NOTE:- The sound is not very clear but thank you for bearing it. I will surely see to it during my next uploads.)

 But obviously, this isn't the end. This is just the start and some more melodies will be available very soon as I proceed.

The recent Guru Story from the small but BESTEST jodhpur trip

Dene Waala Jab Bhi Deta, Deta Chappar Phaad k..!!

This is song that suites me most after the recent trip to Jodhpur. An Amazing and Awesomest Trip. Bestest ever. This is a trip that full of Guru Stories and Guru Grace 24x7. An unimaginable experince of life with Bliss showering all around me. Wooooh..!!

Wanna hear it...??? It will take your 30 mins.
SURE
.

 Okay, here it is..
.
.
.






Friday, the day when it is still not decided that am I going to jodhpur or not. I didn't wanted to actually go (or to say didn't wanted to leave my comfort zone).
But, hey hey, "When there is MASTER in ur life, then WHO AM I TO DECIDE...?"

N guess wat, evening 4PM, I finally decide that okay I am going Jodhpur today. No Bag Packs, No Reservations, Moreover only 1000 Rs in my account, and I am going to Jodhpur just because courageous and hardworking volunteers of YES!+ Jodhpur have arranged some intro talks and there is no one to give those.
N hence, I am up n going.

Stood up, went straight to reservation office to check if I can get a ticket, but it's not that easy when u wish to get drenched in BLISS... Isn't it..?
I got a ticket from Jaipur to Jodhpur in train confirm at late night 3:30AM but before that I have to reach Jaipur somehow for which NO RESERVATIONS.

Okay, No worries when Rahul is here..(My mind said).. But poor mind, it again forget (WHO AM I TO DECIDE..?)

I went to Bikaner House to catch the 9:00PM Volvo which will drop me jaipur at 2:30AM and then I catch the train thereafter. But, huhh..
No seats in any bus till 12:30 AM...

WHAT THE *********..

I rushed to ISBT Kashmiri Gate, it was already 8:45PM, thought, okay, nothing is going wrong, I still have a chance to catch a deluxe bus of 9:00 and can reach atleast by 3:00AM.
I reached there at 9:15, bus was in front of me, BUT, GURUJI had decided to confuse me again. The driver said, "I will drop you to Jaipur at 3:30AM", exactly the same time when I my train will leave from Jaipur.
For a moment, I dropped the plan... Called up the volunteers there and told that I am by no way coming to jodhpur, u handle out these talks.. But just then something in me punched me hard (the same way Rolly punches me in stomach)..

And i boarded the BUS with the feeling to experince the FREE FALL (Lokesh Bhaiya and Tanya, I finally did it). I surrendered to Guruji saying, "Okay, whatever u want, that will happen, I am going for your work, so you take the charge."

In Bus, till Mid way 12:30AM, driver was driving it very safe and each and every thought crossed my mind meanwhile.. like

"Why Am I Going..?"
"Am I doing SEVA..?"
"What does SEVA means..?"
"What Am I going to Gain..?"
"What if I am unable to catch the train..?"
"Let me think positive..!!".... a all sorts..




Just after mid way, something happened to the driver and the sleepy, drowsy donkey became a roaring HANUMAN, and started flying his PUSHPAK vimaan with a dreadful speed.

OMG(O My GuruJee), I said "Om Namah Shivay... Maine jaldi pahunchne ko kaha hai, upar nahi.. Om Namah Shivay... Aap bas train ko 15 min late karwa do, bas.. Om Namah Shivay"

N for the next 2 hours I was chanting "Om Namah Shivay" while I am sleeping.. This seems crazy, but it's true, I was CHANTING "Om Namah Shivay" while I am trying to sleep.

AT 3:15, somehow my driver manages to reach Jaipur at 3:15AM and I just threw open the door, fell into an auto and rushed to railway station.

3:30AM, I am running inside the railway station, as if someone has left a dog behind me. Entered and asked a Coolie,"Where... hu hh hhhh ... Where is the ... Where is the Sampark Kranti Train...?" (PANTING for breath)
.
.
.

.
. 
.
.
He said "Platform 4, Par wo dekho, wo jaa rahi hai..."

O S**T.... I ran as fast as I could to catch the train.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
and SUDDENLY, the fast moving train, CAME TO A HALT... (A luggage from the luggage Van fell off)... I ran and boarded the train and surprisingly, the train left exactly 15 mins later 3:45AM....

SHOCKED / SURPRISED / STUNNED / AMAZED / MOUTH OPEN / PANTING / SWEATING / But unable to understand what just happened...?

Few minutes later when my senses came back, I thanked MASTER for the ultimate experience, and realized "It's not OVER. I AM GOING there for SOME REASON. What is it, I don't know. But SOME REASON"


DAY ONE :-

Jodhpur is my Nanihaal (Naani ka Ghar), so usually I dont have to do anything, but this time, there was no one at home to take care of me as everyone was out of station. So a challenge for me to manage each n everything. I Had some intro talks from 1PM, so did my Kriya, had break fast, n went out for the first one.
40-50 students, didn't thought what should I speak, but started...
Shared some skills, Games, n Meditated there. Told the details of registration, fee and all.

N finally, asked, how many of you want to do this workshop. Guess what, "EVERYONE RAISED their HAND"... Never had it happened in my life that every single person from the talk wants to do the course... n what am I seeing now...? Woooooh... AM I still dreaming...?

Okay, took their numbers for followup, exchanged mine and the assisting kool volunteers.

And went for the Next

This time 20 people, started talking about science, technology and spirituality. Mixed it YES!+ soft skills. No meditation this time. And Again the FINAL question, "How many..?"
Response :- EXACTLY SAME...!!
What is happening...?
I must be seriously dreaming.

Okay, finally, last introtalk, 30 ppl, talked about my exprnc, YES!+, soft skills, Meditation, then Science Technology and Spirituality (actually some matter from Acharya Ratnanda's, PitaJi's, MORE LIGHT ON LESS KNOWN) and details. SAME Question..
RESPONSE :- I WILL DO IT. I AM GONNA DO IT. Every hand stood up for it.
Worst, one asked for form, and I didn't had it that moment.
Then gave Blessings to one.

And then comes the BEST, a message from one of the participants as I left the place "Hii rahul!! I jst heard y 2day at #define... It ws really impressive..m doin dis wrkshp jst coz of U! Thanx a lot :) - Varun"

Many other told the same to our volunteers, and I was shocked, surprised, because it is unusual to me...!! but then I realised,  
"WHO AM I TO DECIDE.."
"WHO AM I TO DO.."..
"I AM NOT THE DOER"..
"IT WASN'T ME.."
"ALL APPRECIATION GOES TO THE DIVINE"

N wuhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu...!! Yippee...!! Cheerfully went back home

DAY TWO :-

Next day had lunch at one of our dearest volunteer and then went to meet my Juniors who have been recruited in Adobe Noida this year. (They are to join on 6th July.)
Thought, will clear their doubts, so after a few talk, asked them, "Okay, tell me, what do you want to ask..?" and then a voice came
 "I want to do YES!+. What is it..?", "I have seen it on your FB profile, I am fascinated. Tell me more about it.."

huhh..!!

Getting finally in the last few minutes, I boarded the bus back to Delhi at 4PM with the impression that, my JOB is done. MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

But what did I forget here...?

"WHO AM I TO DECIDE...?"

As I board the bus, there is a guy sitting next to me, who is Boy Friend of one of our YES!+ volunteer from Jodhpur. He stays in Delhi. After a formal introduction, this man asks me, "Can u tell me more about Art Of Living. She (Sneha), never told me a lot and rather I ignored it usually, but today, I feel talking about it. I want to know about it..? What is it..? What is Kriya..? "

MAN, I thought, "THE JOURNEY HAS JUST STARTED", and went on ..

THANKS to the Koolest YES!+ warriors of Jodhpur "MOTILAL KHATRI aka RAJ", "MAYANK aka Lawyer" , "RAUNAK aka BuisnessMan" and "behind the scenes KUSHAL VAISHNAV"
Obviously, not to forget the Love and Devotion that was common among us all, it was for u "SAVY (aka Savita Di)"

But

WHAT A TRIP, WHAT A BLISS, WHAT A GURU..!! :)
Thanks for being in my life.

The TIME MACHINE (Existence at more than one place at the same time)

Hi Everyone

Would like to share an experience I had today while doing my sadhna.

Obviously, as everyone feels a state of bliss post sadhna, even I had the same. But when I dropped into a very deep meditation, I found myself reading some page. The page was so very clear that I could read each and every word of it, could understand it, and all was happening when I was at that time physically meditating.

For some time, I was not able to realize what is happening but as soon as I became aware of it, everything vanished. Neither do I remember what did I read, nor do I remember what was it that I was reading. Just I remember that I was reading something as if we usually read with our eyes open.

But why am I sharing it here, because, then after came this realization of "BEING AT MORE THAN ONE PLACE AT THE SAME TIME"..!! O man, it was so amazing..!! It actually felt the sense of being at more than one place, doing different things and the sense of "TRAVELING BEYOND TIME".

Remember what Einstein says "If you travel faster than light (or to say time as the 4th dimension) than you can exist at more than one place simultaneously.". And the same thing happens when we meditate.Then past, future and present does not remains, you exist in the fourth dimension, which I would call now onwards as "BLISS"...!!






With loads of love

Bramha Energy in Me

First Blog and obviously a overflow of Bramha Energy in me. So What else can be the best to start with some poems..

LONELINESS

Feelings of loneliness, push you hard;
And you try gather those who depart;

Under the sunshine or out in rain;
You recall those moments that won't happen again;

Solitary & silent, you behave in a mob;
Thinking of the charm that time did rob;

But why do you forget, that it is justice of the nature;
People come along to leave, with their role being miniature;

Stop regretting their loss, as this isn't the end;
Because someone on the other side is still waiting to be your friend...!!!

DESIRES

My desire to live, made me old;
My desperation for love, left all cold;

True love gave me strength;
But the fear to loose it, forced my life to end;

Latter dominated and I never expressed;
Ignored at moments leaving them depressed;

They left I was the culprit to make them upset;
Without realizing, it was me whose eyes were wet;

Either I had no guts or were they committed;
Just I knew that the situation never suited;

They never knew, my heart bumped without breath;
It was the fear to loose, that forced me to death;

ALONE IN CROWD  

Whenever I stand, People pull me down;

Whenever I act, People negate me out;

But it hurts the most, When I trust & they fake their words;
They liw pretending nothing happened, and I am a nerd;

But still I am an idiot, Because I accept them as true;
Feeling my relation with them would still continue;

But in last I find they were never mine;
and I just pray again and again, please don't do this to me divine;

and hence I would still believe as what they said was a truth;
Just was the case that it was never complete nor GOOD..!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU

Twenty years past you made a hue & cry,
Blowing apart your lungs with every sonorous try;

Just one year hence, you got your first milk tooth,
And without knowing the use, you started biting upto the root;

Few months later, your legs uncrippled your way,
And rather using them to walk, you just started kicking away;

Stammer to speech & baldness to hairy ,
You grew in height only to become a fairy;

Spectacular you went with guys looking back and hence,
But it wasn't the face that attracted rather the reflection of your lens;

But howsoever you change physically in future,
One thing will remain & that is your friendly nature;

And even today, when we are not in front of you,
You can still listen our heart, bumping & thumping for you...!

Have a blast as our party remaining due,
Happy Birthday to You
Happy Birthday to You....!

NEGATION

   

Whenever I stand, People pull me down;
Whenever I act, People negate me out;

But it hurts the most, When I trust & they fake their words;
They liw pretending nothing happened, and I am a nerd;

But still I am an idiot, Because I accept them as true;
Feeling my relation with them would still continue;

But in last I find they were never mine;
and I just pray again and again, please don't do this to me divine;

and hence I would still believe as what they said was a truth;
Just was the case that it was never complete nor GOOD..!!!
