Guruji Blesses Bahrain

Guruji Blesses Bahrain!!

- Bhramara

Dear all,
JaiGuruDev!

Bahrain was blissed out with Guruji's overflowing blessings!!
November 18th 2008 will be an unforgettable day for AOL, Bahrain !!

None of us had the least inkling of what was to unfurl on the 18th of Nov 2008...
In the afternoon (Nov 18th), our chapter co-ordinator was informed of Him transitting Bahrain on the way to Delhi from Cyprus...His flight would land at 6-30pm and His return flight at 11pm was all that was known .. also that He expressed the wish to 'come out' of the airport!!

What went on for the next couple of hours was true sanghachatwam ...telephone lines ringing some with both the ears busy answering mobiles and landlines..the Indian Embassy was approached, doors were knocked ..influential people approached.. to organise His visit pass/visa, the Hotel where He could stay and meet all His eager devotees. SMS after Sms...updating ...several ladies were onto cooking their special dishes for Him.. several minds working ..with One cause..to get Guruji to where He was most wanted..devotees hearts!!!

And that's exactly what happened ..Inspite of speculation till the last moment..nothing could stop Him..He just made things happen...the hall was booked at a Five star hotel..Crowne Plaza.. thanks to the manager at Crowne
Plaza and thanks to the Indian Embassy and our dear Ambassador ..His visit pass was arranged... .and others sent off SMS es to all the devotees. about the surprise visit .... most of whom gathered to be with the Master who transformed them . Soon after He landed He was driven to the Crowne Plaza by the Ambassador ,where devotees longing to meet Him had gathered..

After freshning up..He met with top representatives from the press/Radio ....and later eating a little of what each and every 'motherly' lady had cooked, He went onto be with His dear devotees.. Meeting every single one of the multi national & multi religious group of devotees ..walking through the packed hall..His never fading
smile..oblivious of the previous hectic itinerary..Capturin g every ones hearts and minds...
'Chitta Chor!'
..He then got all the little ones. onto the dias and played along with them in His lovable child-like way..looking at one and throwing the chocolates on the opposite side ! He said we should all be like a child.....He was literally surrounded by kids of all ages ..on all sides..He then answered some questions...

Will I ever find peace ..?
SriSri: Are you not peaceful Now!

When I get up in the morning should I consider it as my first day/last day on this Earth?
SriSri:With a twinkle, He said '''the choice is yours!!'

How do I find peace?
SriSri: (Giving the analogy of driving a car.).He said while driving we look in the rear view, side mirrors and in the front and do this almost simultaneously. . But our leg is always on the accelerator. .and finally when the fuel in the car is over ..it stops.. Our life /mind are as if on the accelerator throughout.. we don't stop even though we pass home/shops.. Learning to apply brakes is the skill..and that is meditation.. to be able to go deep within..into silence..that is peace!!

When will I be enlightened? Will I be after 10 days of silence?
Sri Sri: You do not need 10 days..you can be enlightened even after 2 days !!

Time and again He mentioned that while He was supposed to go to Muscat ..in the near future ..He found Himself in Bahrain..'He said " I wanted to give you a surprise..but you have surprised me!! In such a short span of a few hours..you could arrange all this and get so many people together!!'
He makes us feel as if we have done it all..but all of us know who is behind all this...afterall its His grace .love and blessings..we are just one of those gopas putting up our little staff..!!!

This is when He said ..all one has to do is take a sankalpa..a wish ..an intention ..and let it off into the universe...things will manifest... ''Courier all your worries and botherations to me and be peaceful'

He then went onto lead a guided meditation ..with all the kids trooping out with a couple of 'kid sitters'..what was 25 minutes seemed like only 5 minutes to some of the teenagers who were fortunate to be a part of this
momentous occasion.. Sweet melody followed..with singing of a few bhajans..culminatin g with
'Allah Hu..Allah Hu.. We wished time would freeze..as we did not want Guruji to go...unanimously
all of us wished Him to stay longer...nay forever!!!.. this is possible in the frame of timelessness. .but getting back to ground reality..it was time for Him to leave...to be able to catch His next flight..(someone rightly
said that He lives on planes!!!)

In all this excitement.. He made sure Fred, the sweet German ashramite /videographer who accompanied Him ,was looked after, fed and cared for..only shows how He cares/is centred/and is love personified. ...a big
WOW!!
Continuing to bless and hug people on the way..He finally got into the car waiting outside to be driven a little into the city before finally getting to the airport..

It was like a dream come true...nay most are us are really marvelling at how things took shape..and are totally zapped ..in wonder and amazement! He left us all feeling deeply satisfied, hearts full & brimming , blissed out
totally.
In retrospect.. several devotees had premonitions of His visit..some had dreams, some had intentions, some just prayed..Gratitude flows to our dear Guruji for making this happen, & all the members of AOL, Bahrain for just
being there as a family..

Well all that can be said is that the 'Ways of the Divine are mysterious' and like Guruji says ..'You never know when what will happen..keep your houses clean..I may visit them anytime..!!! '

So, dear ones..'Just make a wish ..and leave it into the Universe..!! '

Love,
Bhramara.
