As I entered, I was amazed to see people celebrating, enjoying and dancing to the tune of Bhajans (spiritual hymns). They were smiling and were happier than people I would see every day in clubs. They were ecstatic and more joyful than people who would get drunk in parties and forget human values. I could see and feel so much of belongingness. Satsang got over after a while and we started playing DJ. I was astonished to see people dancing with same enthusiasm and wondered about their secret of endless energy and their ability to accommodate to both Satsang and party so well. I was amazed as I had never seen and experienced anything like this before. After everyone left, my friend’s mom came and asked me if I had done Art of Living course. I sort of avoided her question and didn’t pay much heed. Turning point Many people must have heard, “until you don’t get a right person or partner, you cannot fall in love”. Another fine day, a friend and I were shopping in the mall. He received a call from his mother and she intimidated him that Guruji is in the town. I decided to accompany my friend. When we reached the venue, yet again I experienced the same belongingness I had at Satsang. Everyone had a beautiful smile on their face; they were glowing and were meeting each other with so much of love and respect. I didn’t know anyone there, but not for a moment I felt that was my first meeting. Everyone greeted me with so much of love. It was indeed a heavenly feeling. Suddenly, people started screaming “Guruji” and rushed towards him. That was the day I saw him for the first time and was awestruck. I was sitting at the last with 50,000 ahead of me, but I could feel his presence right beside me. After amazing satsang, Guruji answered questions which were asked by people present there. As Guruji answered, I felt my questions were being answered. It was strange but true. I could relate to every question and answer. He was explaining in such a simple manner that I could understand everything he said. I was amazed that these were answers I had been searching for, and now, I have all of them answered in such a simple way. I met the most inspiring person that day. Since then, each day is no less than a miracle. I always wished to do something for my country and Guruji made this vision broader. I feel belongingness to every person I meet and wish to serve the humanity forever. It takes life time for people to understand but it takes a real master to make you experience the absolute truth of life, and I am thankful to Guruji for being one. I have understood that SPIRITUALITY IS NOT THE PART OF LIFE BUT SPIRITUALITY ITSELF IS THE LIFE. Thank you Gurudeva for plethora of love and care. Jai Guru Dev.
