being complete.

I was planning my trip to Germany from November. I so wanted to go there just to see him and meet him but the obstacles were never ending. I planned the trip and cancelled many times. Just one week before x-mas I finally dropped the plan because I had a few penny left in account not enough even to take a local train and going to a neighboring country was almost impossible thing. I dropped the plan but not the hope, I was still dreaming of sitting in the German Art Of Living ashram and enjoying with the buddies there and listening to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar.

I joined a group of online volunteers to do few things in order to work for the society. Of course this was an Art Of Living group but there were people from different countries and we had never seen each other. When I told them I will not be able to come, Nandu Bhaiyya, volunteer, devotee, friend and much more, transferred enough money (many many thousands  in my account so that I can make it to Germany. I also have some dear friends whim whom I brought up, who refused to share a few hundreds when I needed it, but here I was offered before I asked for it. Well, I then had no reason to say no. It was a call from divinity, I thought, who am I to say no?

When driving from Vienna to Munich, we encountered a fatal accident, when we were cruising at 160kmph and the driver almost lost the control of steering. I was sitting behind, somehow I was totally at peace, just observing what is happening. Someone was smiling from within, panic never touched my heart, but I was at peace. I was assured that I will reach the right destination come what may, since I was not going anywhere but someone is taking me.. somewhere. To the surprise of all co-passengers and the driver our car was back on track, safe without injury.

Changing car pools and trains finally we reached Bad Antogast, another home, a beautiful place in the valleys of black forest, our own German Ashram. From the time we reached there most of the time I spent outside Guruji’s room, in a hope that he might come out anytime and that I could see him in person, from close. There was a lot more for me than expected. The time freeze when I met him. I don’t remember much what I did, what I talk, I could hardly convey some broken sentences. Among all others he rested his plam for blessing on my and Sonia’s head, I was unaware what I was doing but I kept my forehead on his laps, the best place it could ever be.

Christmas celebration was amazing and beyond imagination in ashram. There were people from more than 10-12 countries, cast, religion and color, were singing all sort of songs, traditional x-mas songs, some vedic chanting, some new songs. Life is really celebration when we go beyond our identity.  There is lot of peace, lot of energy and a lot of happiness that never fades away. I have started to realize this.

After many years I started last year, 2012, without liquor and smoke. And eventually it happened that the need of it never arose. I got much better things to hold on to. Its 2013 now, I just wonder what more beautiful things are awaiting on my way. I am so grateful for the love and care has been showering on me. I just wish to spread this with you and all of my dear ones.
