Guru Purnima !!!
The Guru in the Hindu tradition is looked upon as an embodiment of God himself. For, it is through his grace and guidance that one reaches the highest state of wisdom and bliss. "My salutations to the Guru who is Brahma, Vishnu and Maheswara. The Guru is Parabrahma incarnate"
Gururbrahmaa gururvishnuh gururdevo Maheswarah Guruh-saakshaat parabrahma tasmai shrigurave namah
Guru Purnima is a thanksgiving ceremony remembering all the ancient rishis, seers, sages who have brought this knowledge of self. Guru Puja means that which comes from the fullness and the five elements which are used.
5 signs of a Guru Kripa:
Dukha Kshaya : Sorrow Diminishes. Just give you all the botherations to Guruji.
Sukha Avir Bhaava : Without any apparent reason, joy wells up.. happiness simply wells up. If it does, know that either the Guru is in your thoughts or you are in Guruji's thoughts. Whenever there is a satsang or course, go and help out. Samvridhi and Samvardhan happens on their own.
Gyaan Raksha : Knowledge gets reserved. You know many things but suddenly when you sit in the course, it comes back. Protecting the knowledge that you already have
Sarva Samvridhi : There is no lack or dearth. The feeling of lack diminishes. With a child, if you go and ask them 'what do you want?'. They will say 'nothing'. For babies. Abundance starts happening... in mind and heart. This indicates you are getting closer to the Guru.
Sarva Samvardhan: Talents start coming out. People who have never written poems start writing... skills which you never have had before start coming out. If you do Teacher's Training Course, all these skills start coming out. For example, in Teacher's Training Course, you are given half hour to go cook for 100 people. Sri Sri gives example of how volunteers are running this organization.... amateurs, not professional. This indicates Samvardhan.
These are the five characteristics of the Guru.... five qualities. And coming near the Guru doesn't mean just sitting near the Guru. In the heart you need to feel close. Each one of you must play the role of the Guru to someone or the other. Unconditionally be with the person, be in the knowledge. Each one of you is Guru to someone. And each one of you must play this role for someone. When you are nobody, then you become a Guru.And being nobody is not a difficult job as far as I am concerned. When you are nobody and you care for someone or everybody, then you become Guru to someone. Everyone can play this role... by giving unconditional space.
You know, Guru is not stuffing someone with knowledge. No Guru does not stuff you knowledge. Instead, He makes you hollow and empty. You don't have to be a scholar to help. Guru means the 'expert of life', the one who knows how to handle the mind... because the one who has no mind can handles another's mind. One mind cannot handle another because they fight with each other.
For you, having no mind in at least some occasions makes you a Guru.There is two aspects to Divine/Shiva: knowledge you desire from Shiva, and liberation you desire from Vishnu. This is a dichotomy to show they are both the same. And then, desire victory from everywhere. And defeat at the hands of the disciple. The teacher really expects to be defeated by the disciple. The teacher wants the student to excel. So scriptures say that if at all you must desire, not that you must, then desire defeat at the hands of the disciple.. so that knowledge goes on.
DDD- DESIRE DEFEAT at hands of DISCIPLE Imagine if a professor thinks what he has formulated should be the end and nobody should question or develop from there!! But when can you develop? Feel the presence of the master. Me and my Master are the same.... this oneness then spreads through the whole life... to everyone around. Move in the path with perseverance and patience. Guru Purnima is an occasion to remind you of your sacred journey. Your life is not about eating, sleeping, gossiping and dying ,Even eating, I am not sure about. Not only do we eat wrong food, we force everyone else to eat it. We need to know how to eat well, sleep well, meditate well, and serve well. And constantly remind oneself that 'I am on a sacred journey. I am on a path that is so precious' .
There is another verse in Sanskrit... among the million species, getting a human life is so precious. The size of an elephant's and ant's soul is the same. And in human beings. But to be born as a human being is so precious... do not waste the human birth. And even being born as a human being, it is very difficult to get on a path. With so many spiritual shopping, one does not know where to go. Knowledge, the desire to be free is even rare. There are 6.5 billion people on the planet... how many are seekers? Just a handful.
So, those of you who got this yearning are so lucky... because you got the second blessing. First blessing is human birth, and the second blessing is this yearning. The third is the company of the wise. Maha Purusha Sanga. These three are the signs of luck. The passion for small little things like marriage, children, change of jobs, health... the same passion you must have for knowledge.You know there are 4 baskets that I can keep and all your questions will be there. From these questions, move to space of wonderment! The WOW !!!
This is the whole point of Guru Purnima. The Guru is full. Moon is full. Let me also be full. When mind is filled with Guru, then it is also full, and is synonymous with the moon." "When you are filled with wisdom, love and the Guru's presence, then life cannot be anything but celebration.
JaiGurudev !!!

Food Tips from Guruji
Food Tips from Guruji
Guruji : How many of you have body pains since early in the morning, raise your hand ?
(There was about 25% of the crowd raising their hands)
Guruji : You know why? We eat the crops that are cultivated by using chemical fertilizers. This causes a lot of diseases in our body. Do you understand? We don't detoxify the body. To get good yield we use artificial chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Because of these fertilizers, soil turns toxic and he produce from the soil in turn becomes toxic and our body gets toxic substances as we eat them which cause disease and pain.
How many have hip, joint, back pains and different kinds of headaches. I don't want you to tell me the number of head aches that you have at home!!! If we have to get rid of all these pains and diseases, we have to go back to our traditional method of farming. We have to do natural farming, Zero budget farming low-cost, more yield, better health. So we have to take this as a revolution to the farmers.
You know the white sugar is termed as white poison in western countries. As it overs the knobs of the intestine and stops the nutrients from being absorbed by the body. The children who consume a lot of sugar are mostly lean because oflack of nutrition. If you stop giving them sugar, they will start getting healthier. We eat a lot of sugar and reduce our body growth as well. So instead if white sugar you should start consuming cane sugar which is in turn good for the body. It helps the liver as it has minerals. We have to know how to eat tell not how to eat more.
Similarly we need to learn breathing practices to keep our body healthy and earn meditation to get peace of mind and these things are very much essential for life. We should have knowledge and awareness on meditation, breathingpractices and food.
Now let us switch on to cane sugar. The only difference that you may notice is that gulab jamuns would look much darker and jalebis would be of a different color!!! It does not matter.
After 30 -32 years everyone should take 3 Triphala tablets at night. It sets right all the three doshas, vata, pitha and kapha in the body. . It eliminates toxins from the body. Even if there is a problem with the food, Triphala clearsthe stomach and helps in good elimination the next morning. It also maximizes anti- oxidization in the body. All of you should take "Triphala" and you yan see the effect in your body within 5 to 7 days.
"Deva Vati" is a good cure for amebiosis and other diseases caused by change in food and water. It is harmless and every one must carry with them wherever they go. It replaces antibiotics like Flagyl and others. Two to three "Deva Vati" can cure ever.
In India , what ever we prepare we add turmeric in it. You know why? Because of its anti-oxidant properties and it has medicinal value. In 1980, we called upon scientists for a conference in Delhi . When asked about the use of turmeric, they said it is just a color pigment without any value. Today, the foreigners may turmeric is an antioxidant and it can give immunization against Cancer and let we do not understand its real value.In Tamilnadu we add turmeric in the pickles, especially the lemon pickles. Turmeric means Goddess Devi. She isincarnation of lemon, turmeric, and neem. All the three plants are considered sacred in our country and they all give good energy to our body. If we grow lemon and tulsi in each and every house we can have good health in our country.
You know in our country there is a shortfall in the production of pulses. We are importing nearly 40% of the pulses and if this continues we will not have sufficient food In the future. So we have to plant pulses in our home garden and our women can do it.My Grandmother was in Papanasam even at the age of 92 years she used to do things for herself and she had a good system of eating. Like, eating "Agathi Keerai" , on every "Dwadesi" day ( The day after ekadesi Fasting) and she used to take two kinds of vegetables . She had laid rules for herself and hence had a lot of energy. In the next generation the energy level came down and now in our generation it is getting lower. One more interesting thing you know our "Idly" is considered to be the most nutritious food in the World. Because it contains carbohydrates, proteins, enzymes, fats, amino acids and fiber. Every one should consume ghee. Ghee helps the body to absorb nutrients. If I start talking on food I can go on for hours together. "Idly" is said to be the complete food it is a happy thing to know don't you think so.
Jai Gurudev !!!

The Path to the Goal that is You
A poor man celebrates the New Year once a year. A A rich man celebrates each day. But the richest man celebrates every momoent.
How rich are you? Do you celebrate once a year? Once a month? Every day? If you celebrate every moment, you are the Lord of creation.
Review the year while you celebrate. This is your homework. What did you do? What did you achieve? How useful were you this past year? Sit for an hour and think about every week, one minute per week, and see the year’s growth in less than an hour. With a flower, on New Year’s Day, offer the whole year to the divine.
Sri Sri…

Take Action for Global Warming !!!
There is a logo called Carbon Counted that companies can put on their products to communicate their carbon footprint.Buying products that have a low Carbon Counted footprint number gives consumers a means by which to influence and reward companies that reduce emissions in the creation of their products.
Inefficient appliances such as fridges, washing machines etc., waste energy. Save hundreds of pounds of carbon dioxide and hundreds of dollars per year by replacing them (and having your old appliance recycled or disposed of properly). Many countries have "energy star" ratings on new appliances that allow you to assess the energy usage of the appliance. You may even be able to check online before you go shopping, to save time. If this isn't an option, at least check the seals on your fridge or freezer and replace them if they show signs of wear.
Buy a hybrid car. The average driver could save 16,000 lbs. of CO2 and $3,750 per year driving a hybrid. Plug-in hybrids can save even more and give cash-back.
Buy a fuel efficient car. Save up to 20,000 lbs. of carbon dioxide per year using a more fuel efficient car - that's a savings of AUD$10,000 over a car's lifetime.Buying fuel efficient cars also encourage companies to continue making and improving them owing to increased demand. Practice green driving. Save gas and lower stress levels by being a considerate driver. Improve fuel efficiency by removing unused external objects such as roof racks, turning off your engine instead of idling for long periods of time (over 1 minute), and removing loads from the trunk/boot that are not necessary.
Keep the tires on your car adequately inflated - under inflated tires can reduce fuel economy by up to 3% and increase wear and tear on your tires.Keep your car tires inflated. Check them monthly. Save 250 lbs. of carbon dioxide and US$840 per year. A good gift is a tire air-pressure gauge as it not only saves money but makes driving safer.

Sri Sri knows all ...the miracle
It was a mind thrilling experience for me to see and feel the grace of Guru. In 5 days lots of healing happened. How Guruji has taken care of all and me :)...
The first mind blowing thing which happened was:
While sharing different guru stories I mentioned about the resent story about the terrorist attack which happened in Taj. And I narrated the whole story to all and how guru's grace takes care of everything. And that day was over for me. But Guruji keeps track of everything :)...heeee
After I left, one lady told that what ever she has told is completely stupid, how can this happen. If it had happened it should have come in news paper or TV to an old lady( who had recently meet Guruji in Shiridi). The old lady told no what madam has told is right you should not doubt. Have Faith !!! But that lady did not listen and went home. The next day the old lady who never reads news paper, suddenly started to search the new paper topics in MID DAY, Marathi. And then to her surprise she found the topic of Art Of Living and how they have conducted diff programs for the victims. The first thing she did was to rush to the same lady's house and showed her the news. She got a shock !!! The old lady just said " Tum ne jo bola Guruji ne suna " . Have Faith !!!.
Jhakssssssssssssssssssssssss.............I was amazed how he takes care of even the words we speak :)....
Another experience I will share when we all meet. Till then enjoyyyyy and have fun.
Jai Gurudev !!!
