Bau and Dinesh Bhaiya 1:):)

Jai Gurudev:)

This post has been in my mind since before i started blogging .. to make an attempt to put in words the experience that it is to have met bau and dinesh bhaiya :):) i know its futile before i even start and that makes it more free and without any doership ..lol

So this was in early 2006.. (just before the silver jubilee ) .. i was just rolling along my college life(bangalore) ..had done the course and was doing kriya everyday(the only saving grace) .. no seva n'all coz was wrapped up in the bullshit of everything being bout me, me , me ..

Was in the middle of prep for univ exams and then got a call from guru anna saying there was this concert called Sumeru Sandhya and bau was going to be there ( i had met him once in one of his science of breath talks ; thought he was super cool)
so i went .

Asked a few friends to come along also.

Got there ..the place felt very happy :) ( got used to that very soon :):)) was wonderfully decorated ..so went in helped the volunteers a bit , grabbed a seat and waited ..

Then three guys came on stage - bawa ,dinesh bhaiya and vikram bhaiya. As I watched Dinesh Bhaiya and Bau glide in with a lightness and effervescence i thought was the way of angels alone; I knew I was seeing the people i wanted to be like .. I think for me the way they were rather than what they said made more of an impression . The ease and grace in each movement, the love and acceptance in every glance and the beautiful silence in each word that they uttered ... Just looking at Dinesh Bhaiya is like meditating ..his silence manifests around him as a light that glows with only love and grace.

I just kept looking at him . (And my friend saw me and told me to stop gawking ..) vikram bhaiya sang like an angel , bau answered questions with his razor sharp wit and had us all falling off our seats with laughter and then dinesh bhaiya took us into ourselves with a meditation.. thats when i first heard his voice .. :):)

Afterwards when everyone was talking to them .. I somehow didnt want to budge from a five metre distance ;my vantage point ;) and thats something that hasnt changed in these three years .. Im happiest looking at them from a close distance ; its fantastic how i feel soo much belongingness to them and absolutely no need for any words at all .. just a glance is enough :)

everyday i wake up with a gratefulness for having guruji in my life and for him having blessed me with these treasures that are bau and dinesh ..

love you more than words can ever express
