Holi Rafting in Rishkesh

Last couple of years Guruji is not celebrating Holi in Rishikesh. To be with the memories of Holi with Guruji in Rishikesh, this Holi five of us (youngest member being my daughter Shradha) of Art of Living family decided to celebrate Holi with mother Gagna.






There is something about Rishikesh that I (for that matter everyone) love being in this Holy city. Rafting in Ganag is awesome experience! Here are some picture, specially the moments of thoughtlessness (which you cannot obviously see in picture :-) ) of 25 feet freefall from the jumping point.



Happy Holi :-)

With Love,

Marched!

1st March 2009, thousands (mainly youngsters) gathered at parliament street for the March "Against Terrorism, Against Corruption". I was so happy to see so many youngster standing for the country. I remember in my college days I use to participate whole heartily in anti reservation march in my engineering in Lucknow. As a kid I use to shout slogans in election relies with through sincearity and feelings. Loving country and being patriotic in natural for all of us, I think with time because of stress our vision become narrow and people stop thinking and doing their bit for the bigger and wide vision based issues?

We arranged for a big luxury bus from Meerut for our devotees to participate in the march and to my surprise in a city of 20 lac only 22 inspired souls were there in the bus to Delhi.




This is ridiculous to see that lot of our middle class so called intellectual people do spend many hour in fulfilling that social obligations but they don't have few hours for nation and society. That is why our cities and filthy (look at any city of UP, very very dirty, you can see dirty meat shops any where breaking all rules) , government offices are badely unorganized and corrupt, roads and traffic is chaotic and people and generally unhappy and unhealthy.

Afetr seeing the state of west UP from last couple of years these kind of events and gathering have started inspiring more. This March was like a breath of freash air for this dieing system of this coutry.

There are so many good points came out discussed by Kiran Bedi, Darshak Ji, Prahalad Kakkar and last but not the least Guruji's oath:

1- Do their research on the candidate in their respective area and definately vote for the better option. My personal study suggests that its time for change and current goverment should go.

2- We personally do not participate in any activity that encourages corruption like paying fine (chalan) if we got caught and not get-away by bribing the traffic police.

3- Once we are practicing not to participate in any such activities we educate others. Talk about it.
