Love Moves The World!!

Travel alone is capable to exhaust this body and mind. Meeting a lot of people and attending to each and everyone can for sure consume a lot of energy. Even the most exciting event or function can leave one drained and long to get back home. And when all three comes together, the combination is undoubtedly hectic. 

Plus, what if its continual?

Here is a MASTER's travelogue!! 

The incredible journey started long ago and is never ending, for as much as HE cares for the world, the world wants HIM more.

Below is a peak into June 2016 -

There is not even a single trace of tiredness. Never on the MASTER neither on the volunteers nor the crowd. THE PRESENCE is so strong, so full of love and enthusiasm that it transcends time zone, weather, place or people and spreads spontaneously. 

The journey begins from a crowd and it leads to another crowd. The crowd is everywhere and it is so diverse. It has laymen, professionals, politicians, artists, devotees, seekers, believers, atheists, kids, teens, adults, elderly, the stressed, the happy, the both and what not!!

And so are the motives. They have come for a glance or a smile or guidance or a conversation or blessing or anything and everything.

Nevertheless, The MASTER has always embraced the crowd with an undying smile and complete attention. The interactions are so intense and personal that irrespective of its duration, memories are created for a life time. Such a lasting impact that a mere thought of it triggers waves of gratitude within.

To me its a wonder!!!  

Such effortlessness in the never ending travel, unavoidable crowd and the consistent high energy is above my understanding. Within the realm of human body and mind this is unbelievable. Yet as an Enlightened Master HE executes it with so much ease and so naturally, being at home everywhere. HE takes us along. Shows the path. HE walks and talks the same path. The journey continues....

And today, I will be one among the crowd, securing a spot amidst the long line of devotion that will start right at the airport. Its a different place, different time zone, different weather and a different set of crowd. The Sky is clear and the Sun is bright and in few hours passing through the arrival doors HE will walk straight into our hearts....only to take us home, make us happier and open our lives to the highest aspect of this very being....As for all of us here its the start of yet another joyful journey, HE continues....

Ready...set.....Get Happy :)

YamunaTruth

What was left to pollute? 

With her long lost glory, Yamuna is dragging herself with filth right under our nose. And who cares? 

The only regret I take from WCF is not being part of the amazing AOL volunteers who day and night worked for the betterment of Yamuna and her banks. For a place that is dumped with dirt and garbage to get cleaned, levelled and ready for hosting World's biggest ever cultural event does not happen on a snap of a finger. Selfless efforts and relentless sweat of thousands have gone into it with enthusiasm, joy, care and love. 

Meri Dilli Meri Yamuna was a campaign launched by AOL way before WCF to keep the river and its ecosystem clean. Who else did anything before, during or after that? Why would an organisation that has records of rejuvenating rivers throughout the Nation go and pollute a part of already dying Yamuna on which it has put in a lot of manpower since 2010....just to double its work?

There is one obvious reason for choosing Yamuna river bank as the venue of WCF - to make the nation aware of its present day condition. There is a growing attention and concern on water bodies that are close to peril. This should lead in taking practical steps towards their betterment. After all this whole universe is a play of Intention, Attention and Manifestation. That should put Yamuna on the right track, which is good. And with such a huge volunteer base AOL is already doing it.

At the same time its hard to ignore an interesting scenario that goes in parallel with the WCF built up controversies - The decline of Sonia led Grand Old Congress Party. Lately they are sinking in their own sin and time does not look so good for them. But they can't go away so easily, after all they were glued to the power throne for 60 years. They did get the taste of it. They have their seeds and roots in all facets of the society. And with media playing as the biggest source of information for a country with a billion plus population and having mutually beneficial ties for over 60 years with each other, any fact can be bent or carved or shaped as per the convenience of those with influence. And why not, after all AOL is working completely against their agenda. 

AOL is reinstating a sense of unity among a diverse set of people. It is encouraging oneself to be in their own beliefs, religion and culture and yet nurture belongingness with one another. It takes up seva projects, indulges in resolving conflicts, uplifts human values, gives a direction to the wandering mind, increasing hope and confidence in people. Automatically illicit activities, crime and scams takes a back seat. This is not so familiar and favorable for our past rulers and they have to stop it at any cost. All tricks have to be tried. Make movies that mock spiritual masters, create controversies and false allegations, use the media to publicize and REPEAT. It seems to work. But how long? So much are they caught up in the bubble of cunningness and cupidity that they did not realize time and again they had only one opponent - The TRUTH!! No matter where its hidden, how much its bent and however its muted, at the end Truth only knows to triumph. Until then, I will wait and watch....of course with a smile :)
