Rudra Pooja on Shivratri

Since we were coordinating the dahisar Rudra Pooja we could not make it to Kollam...in my heart I was wishing that we could do a Rudra Pooja at my house....just as I was thinking about this in a few minutes Swami Vishnupad asked us....if we cud have a Rudra Pooja in the house...Vishwasji and I could not stop looking at each other...and felt that Guruji listens to every word of ours.
In the evening we went to rudra pooja in the eve...which was organized by all our Bombay volunteers. Vikramjis melodious satsang had everyone singing and dancing in bliss.

This is an what Guruji said about Shivratri,
Dvaita bhav se bhakti aur bhakti se advaita ke aur jane ka adbhut utsav hai Shivaratri.Shastro me kaha hai ki shivamaya hokar puja kare, shiv ki aradhana kare. Hamare shareer ke kana kana may shiv tatvo ko jagrut karke shiva ki puja karte hai.Shiva bholenath hai, hum bhole bhav se baithate hai puja me.Shiva phul ko aur kato ko bhi swikaar karte hai. Hum bhi apne sadguno ko samarpan kare taaki guno ka ahamkar na lage. Avaguno ko bhi samarpan kar de jiske saath hamne taadaatma bana liya hai.Shivji neelkanth hai. Jahar peeke amrut dene wale hai. Hamare chetna may bhi wo shakti hai jo nakaaraatmak tarango ko badal dene ki kshmata rakhti hai. Saara krodh, vidhvesh, aur ghatak guno ko bhi samarpan kar de. Shiva mangal hi mangal denge.Hamara shareer arbo karbo anu parmanu se bana hai. Ek ek kan spandit aur pulakit ho uthatha hai. Sari prakruti utsav manati hai.Shiva rudra bhi hai. Adharma aur annyaya ke prati krodh bhi jatate hai. Annyaya ko sahana bhi paap hai. Is drushtikoon se dekho to shiva sampoorna hai. Is paramtatva shivatatva ko apne me jaanke apne me maanke, bhole bhav se baithe.Log guruji ki jhalak pane se santusha ho jate hai.Puja ke shurvaat me sankalp me hamare vishal man me hum desh aur kaal ko smaran karte hai. Bhav magna, bhavpoorna vaataavaran me jo sankalp late hai, uski siddhi hoti hi hai.Gita me kaha hai " yagno daan tap paavanani manishinaa" mane aisa saamuhik yagna sampoorna manav jati ke liya vardaan hai.Neelkanth – ananthMritunjaya – jadata mitakar chaitanya ka udaya hota hai, Dukh mitkar santosh ka avirbhav, Ashanti mitkar prasannata cha jati hai…Aksar log mandir jate hai, kaamnaye leke jate hai. Yaha sab aabhar vyakta karne aaye hai. Kisi bhaya ya loobh se nahi aaye hai.Art of living me ye ek khaas baat hai, yaha krutagyatapoorna, gada gada kanth se bhav vibhor hoke loga aaye hai. Pooja poornata se pragat hoti hai. Man prasanna hota hai to pooja sahaj hi ubharti hai.(during namo namo part of rudra pooja) Man apne srtoth ki aur jane lagta hai use namah kahate hai. Tarka, vitarka, janane pahachanane wala man sharanagat hota hai use namah kahate hai. Naman or pranama – jaha man nahi hai.Amruttatva, Gurutatva, Shivtatva tino ka milan hai Shivratri. Tino ek hi hai, aakaashvat vyapt hai. Eshwaro Gururatmeti murti bhed vibhaginevyomavat vyapt dehaaya dakshina murthye namah Sara brahmanda shiv ka sharir hai. Roop mein Aroop ko pujana aur Aroop mein Roop ko poojne ka anokha parva hai "Shiv Ratri". Har roop mein vahi hai aur usi ke andar sabhi samaye hai. Vaidik mantro ke uccharan se jo oorja paida hoti hai, us oorja ke mantra snaan se tan, man aur vatavaran pavitra hota hai. Kuch log apni khamoshi mein bahut kuch keh jate hai. Guruji vaise hi hai. Guruji kam bolte hai aur bolte hai to maan lubha jate hai, aur unki khamoshi mein bahut kuch kar jate hai.
Shiv ko Bhootnath kehte hai. Panch bhooto ke ve malik hai. Sara sansaar panch bhooto ka khel hai : Prithvi, Jal, Vayu, Agni aur Akash. Isiliye isko pra-panch kehte hai. In sab tatvo ka sanmaan karna hi (bhagavan)Bhootnath ki pooja hai. Aaj ki sadi mein log sabse zyada paryavaran ke prati chintit hai. Paryavaran ke prati samvedansheel rehna hamari puritan paddhati hai. Hum laut ke vaidik sanskrutiko dekhe to, prithvi ka sanmaan karte hai: kuch khodne ke pehle pooja karte hai… nadiyo ka, pahadho ka samaan karte hai. Pooja mein paanch tatvo ko leke hi pooja hoti hai. Aarti, Pushp, Jal, Sughandh adi sabka prayog hota hai. In paanch tatvo ka malik hai Shiv aur in Shiv-Tatvo ko jagrut karti hai Shiv Puja. Bahya puja to gaun hai, manasik puja shrestha hai. Guruji Dhyan karate hai to manasik puja ki anubhuti hoti hai.

The mind is still greedy....guruji does rudra pooja.....next day morning.......after shivratri....in my heart I was thinking I am going to miss it........in a few mins coincidentially swamiji also said we should also have rudra pooja in the morning like guruji....so even this wish got fulfilled. A lot of devotees had come and we had an amazing satsang.

Glimpses of Kamla Vihar Satsang on 10th February with Rishi Vidyadharji

With the divine blessing and grace of our Guruji, we celebrated an evening filled with love, knowledge and bliss with our dear Rishi Vidyadharji at Kamla Vihar Sports Club, Mahavir Nagar Kandivili (West) on the 10th of February 2009.

Divine music flowed as Harshal and Kris sang melodious bhajans and every person sang and felt the music move them.

The Question and Answer session with Rishiji washed away a lot of dust accumulated on the minds. Rishiji's knowledge, wisdom and wit gave answers to one and all.

A few excerpts of Rishiji's session as shared by Devenbhai,

Rishiji, spoke about the importance of knowing where to use head(brain) and where to use heart... we have to us our brain when we are doing business,purchase,research ,bargaining etc. and use our heart when we do sewa,or when others need us.

He spoke about what to do when LUST is troubling us. he replied to do sadhana,sewa,satsang regularly,eat satvik shakahari bhojan,use cold water for bath(only when it is extreme) ,pay attention on thoughts with sakshibhav and feel presence of master around us...

He shared benefits of all course....specially he said part 1 is dial up connection,part 2 is broadband connection and sahaj is wifi broadband. With sahaj mantra you are connceted directly.

On terrorism Rishiji said,
"it is not because of action of terrorist ..but it is because of inaction of all of us ...this is happening." All of us need to wake up and take steps to increase the Satva in our society to stop such inhuman acts from occuring.

Every person present had an experience of peace and calm as Rishi Vidyadharji guided us all through a meditation for 25 minutes.

Guruji's Message on Valentine's Day!

"Make God your Valentine. We will never be ditched, deceived or deprived,” said Sri Sri Ravi Shankar at a Satsang in Kolkata on Saturday when the city was in the grip of the Valentine’s Day fever. The Art of Living founder said the world is so distraught because of the absence of love. “Even if there is love, the problem exists. Because, there is wrong expression of it. Love without wisdom (gyan) can also bring trouble. If love comes with wisdom, there will be joy, satisfaction and benediction, “ he said addressing a crowd at the Rabindra Sarovar stadium. On the attacks on people celebrating Valentine’s Day, Sri Sri Ravi Shankar said: “The extreme reaction comes out of fear. Our culture, heritage is not so fragile that one celebration would destroy it. There should be due respect to decency and decorum. But if you apply force against the violators, they will only increase. Force is no solution. Let it happen, if something is bad, people will reject it automatically. “ The Art of Living Guru prescribed five steps to get out of sufferings. First, you have to understand the time you are in. Secondly, do some Yoga and Sadhana. Yoga will stop bad things from happening in your life. Thirdly, think that you have overcome many a problem in your life and will eventually also overcome the problem causing your suffering. Next, you must understand that there are people whose suffering is much worse than yours. Put yourself in the seva’ of that person. Finally, have complete faith in nature’s law no suffering is perpetual. Suffering will come and go. “There are two modes you can be in participating and witnessing. We apply both wrongly and end up being unhappy. You must participate in joy and witness suffering. Whenever there is happiness, participate no matter whose happiness it is. When there is suffering, observe it. But what we generally do is that we only participate in suffering, whoever’s it is. But when there is real cause of happiness, we become its mere witness,” he said. Jai Gurudev !!
