Gurudev's Chhattisgarh Visit: Last

After blissful rain-satang in Bilaspur next morning Gurudev flown in his chopper to Devi temple in dongergarh and Rajnandgaon thereafter. Missing on twice his chance to fly with Gurudev, Jigish bhai finally got a chance to be with Gurudev in chopper. We joined Gurudev in Rajnandgaon and missed on Rajnandgaon satsang as we reached at 3:30PM by car. Guruji was playing (hide and seek) in chappan bhog party (56 dishes prepared by Rajnandgaon devotees) surrounded by devotees, everyone was impatient (to the extend of my annoyance) to get prasadam from his hands. Even volunteer placed to manage the crowd was first to bend down and touch his feet so it was all chaotic rush around him. A car rally moved from Rajnangaon to Bhilai, every few kilometers there were devotees waiting for getting a glimpse of the master and offer flowers.

A ten minuet break in Bhilia Steel Plant Hotel before Gurudev had to move for a corporate talk. As people were throwing flowers on him, I thought it’s a good we should remove those flower petals from his hairs. We could remove only few as he asked to move for the meeting. He unsnarled his hairs little bit and moved out with the comb in his hand. 500-600 odd corporate people in meeting, he stood up in his usual graceful style and said “I’ll talk to you while detangling my hairs, when bal(hairs) get longer (bigger) they get entangle and that is when the comb is needed, same is with bal(child) also when they get entangle the comb of knowledge is required”. What’s an opening of a talk!

First time I was playing the secretary of Gurudev in this talk (as he asked me to carry his black bag and asana) once this thought crossed my mind in Ashram, how lucky are these people who get do this for Guruji. I was very attentively sitting in one corner of the stage for a moment I remembered what Bhanu didi said in last TRM “THERE ARE NO PRIVATE THOUGHTS IN HIS NETWORK”.

Few of the sutras that Guruji shared in this corporate meeting “MnM i.e. Meal and Meditation for better corporate productivity, less acidic and healthy meal and daily meditation”. He said “Get out of seam (personal likes and dislikes that we develop with time), get into team and take social corporate responsibility”. “What kind of joiners you like in your organization? One who always praises you and does buttering or the one who speaks with courage what is right and beneficial from the team?”

Healthy Meal

and Meditation

“Greed, Jealousy and arrogance, these three things creeping in an organization causes the decay of the organization. That is when Guru is needed who can make everyone sit together on one platform and have a dialog”.
