Calling Narayan home...


Once Narad asked Lord Narayana, where do you live? Do you live in Vaikunt Dham, in the hearts of your beloved devotes, or where? Lord Narayana said, "I live where people sing bhajans from the depth of their hearts". This is how we sang today at Satsang organized at Shalu and Kanishka's place.
The session started a bit late, for the Puja materials came a little late. Aruna ji then did the Guru Puja. She told that Guru Puja comes out of Gratefulness, out of Love for the Supreme Knowledge, that we are getting from our Master. We Pranama to all the Great Rishi's and Swami's of all times, who passed on this highest knowledge of Self Realization, in its purest form. As the Guru Pooja went through, it took us from all the external happenings to deep within, a state of meditation. I never know when did Bhajans' started and involved everybody to singing and chanting as a wave. Singing is a way of getting unbound happiness, taking us away from all the worries, and settles our mind to a state of ultimate peace. I realized that I was there, only when Kanishka asked all of us to join the Guided Meditation. Meditation expanded our happiness to the whole space around, for the whole world.
Finally we sang "Sagar mein ek Laher Uthi Tere naam ki" for Sridhar becoming a proud father recently.
Time came for the delicious food, cooked by Shalu with so much of love and care. She was caring enough to even pack the food for those in hurry. Every body was enjoying the food and mingling with other people. It felt like that the party should never end. 
Guru ji says, "Satsang increases awareness and a sense of belongingness".
Truely we experienced.

Let this knowledge bring more awareness, and happiness to everybody in this world.

Weekly Satsang @ Bindu and Manoj Home

Last Sunday our AOL family met at Bindu & Manoj's Home for our weekly Satsang.
It was amazing experience. All who attended went home in total bliss. Divine presence was felt in event thing.
Since early evening everyone was busy decorating something with utmost love.
Once Satsang started, every where it was looking so beautiful, right from entrance Rangoli, Guruji's Sofa or the lighting. Satsang started with Guru Pooja. Reciting of  Shloka's made the whole atmosphere holy and everybody's heart got filled with love and gratefulness. Then Bhajan's took the evening to a high. Everybody was immersed in the heavenly music, singing and enjoying. It was a real treat to our souls. Finally going through the Birthday blessing and Announcements, came "Jai Jai Radha Raman Hari Bol". No body though wanted it to come so soon.
After that we had our Divine Prasad "Dinner", so deliciously prepared. I filled my plates more than 3 times.
It was a really memorable evening, which ended in Bliss, Laughter, Joy and Happiness.

--Sri Sri has said: "Satsang increases awareness and a sense of belongingness."
Lets there be more Satsang, let there be Peace, Love and Happiness everywhere in the world.
