Jai Gurudev !!
Last week , I had the opportunity to attend a Mahasatsang , conducted by Guruji Sri Sri RaviShankar . Infact we can say that we ought to be blessed to get a chance to attend such functions.
Megasatsang can be termed as a huge gathering of people or devotees , wherein they participate actively in the bhajan songs mainly, in the midst of which Guruji would conduct live meditations for about 20 to 25 minutes followed by Knowledge Sessions.
The Live meditation will be such a wonderful experience in the presence of Guruji. It refreshes our mind totally.
And in Knowledge session, Guruji would cover some general topics related to day to day activities, country welfare etc. He puts the things with a sense of humour that people almost burst into laughter througout teh session. More interesting will be he spontaneously answers to the questions of the devotees , which really would be enlightening. The whole program would extend to a period of 2 hours or so.
In this satsang , Guruji started with the definition for the Satsang. He said, "Satsang is an informal gathering. Everyone sits and participates as if they are at home with a sense of belonging to each other. Secondly you give all your sufferings or botherations to me and leave this place with a joy and a pleasant state of mind !! "
One more catchy point he said ,
" When you are in sorrow, be in the state of Surrender !!
And when you are happy , serve others !! "
meaning , whenever our mood is not good and we experience sorrow ,the reason may be our wish not fulfilled or emotional disturbance , we need to surrender to the God, saying , " God, you please take care of my suffering !!"
And when we experience the joy or happiness , we need to share that joy to others in need . That way our joy also gets multiplied.
Then another interesting stuff , he shared was about the Purity at different levels.
Our Food gets purified by adding a spoon of ghee !!
Our Body gets purified by taking in Ayurveda medicines ( For ex. Triphala tablets 4 to 5 times a week cleans our stomach ) !!
Our Wealth gets purified by donating a portion of our income !!
Our Emotions get purified by listening to Music !!
Our intellect gets purified by being in Knowledge or listening to talks of Wisdom !!
Our Mind gets purified by Meditation !!
In Indian language ,
Anna shuddhi by Ghee !!
Kshareer Shudhdhi by Ayurveda !!
Dhana Shuddhi by Dhaanaa !!
Bhaava Shudhdhi by Gaana !!
Budhdhi shudhdhi by Gyana !!
And Mana Shudhdhi by Dhyana !!
The above rhythmic words keeps sounding in my mind always ...and is finding its way in my action too...
Love & smiles...
