Boundless Happiness

It was a dual happiness last week end. Atlast met amma @ Trichy after 3+ months and Maha Satsang. Friday ticket was booked for the after noon train and reached home late 10pm. Amma was eagerly waiting in the gate; I was able to learn that from her eyes. Like a calf running towards the mother I too rushed down the Auto.

Well planned for Saturday morning trip to Tanjore Big temple. Take some rest and leave to Sathsang and Sunday morning catch the early train and return back home.

As planned Saturday morning completed Kriya, left to Tanjore. As it was vaccation the temple was crowded. It took some 30 minutes time to havedarshan of Lord Shiva. Later sitting outside the shade, we were enjoying the architecture of the temple. Admiring the art onevery pillar and explaining Jr the story. Jr was happier to have the elephant blessing her when penny was given. As usual with a round shopping Jr got a whistle and water game to play. Took some rest and started to Satsang in the evening. The rain clouds were gathered for a huge shower in the evening and reduced the heat.

With Sounds of Isha on live performance with flute Shekar anna, Guitar, Drumms and Vocal songs. No doubt program started by 6 in the evening. Jr was having her short nap. Once the program kicked off with planting trees and hand over sapling to volunteers. Jr to wake up once Sadhguru started his speech. Jr's tolerance to one work was just 15-20 minutes. We managed her in the chair making her listen for probs 1/2 hour time. I know it's not going to work on a long run and moved in search of Volunteering task involving Jr too.

I found an apt place where we need to provide saplings and register their name in a form for people moving out of Satsang. There was huge bunch of work where Jr ran around collecting the sapling cover and hand over to kids, aunts, uncle and granny. I was registering their names and insisting people to water the plant everyday night after dinner. Really providing the fullest I really don't know what was going on there for nearly 2 hours there. This job kept both of us in joy and full momentum. I saw hubby running towards me saying guru is statnding on the ramp, jusr run fast have darshan. To hold of breath ran with tears rolling bowed down to Guru. The song on the background 'Sithanada swaroopa' and guru in front made me stand still.

Later I came and continued volunteering at the desk till 10.30, as people moving out needs to be given sapling and lot of work there.

As a whole it was a SATHSANG with bags of learning to take back home. I'm more eager to attend the next Satsang near to Chennai @ Tiruvanamallai or Vellore.

This kural really explained in crisp everything.

Strange experience @ Elevator

Today afternoon in between work need to rush to my Jr school to find her lunch bag missing. My work place is at 3rd floor and can go by steps. I was bit late so thought of Elevator as it was in the same floor. As the doors opened myself and other elderly person age of 50+ too came along. The ‘X’ is one of the project manager of the company in our complex. As the doors closed his eyes turned towards the mirror to gaze at himself. I didn’t mind and was still back thinking of my work to do rest of the day.

This is person observes people around a lot, even I have noticed that. In the same complex for more than 5 years he has seen me and never spoke. Today he asked me “As a young lady I expected you to turn to the mirror?” With a small smile I gave him an answer no not so interested on this stuff. We were at the ground floor and our conversation continued till the parking lot. He remarked you seem to more on spiritual path may be that’s the reason, remembering the class of IE in our complex which we organized. I quoted probably may be the reason for that and followed with Inner beauty and happiness is more needed. Waving of bye I started by ride to school.

Waiting at the school for the kids to leave, standing by the shade I was cherishing my Silence class 7 days no conversation, no gesture. Even at home today morning my mil said my bhindhi is cross and why not cares for the pretty thing. As usual smile was my answer to her.

Field trip - Guindy National Park.

It was Friday morning whole week with Sun showing up; to my surprise morning 4’o clock found it rained during midnight. Jr would be more disappointed if the trip was cancelled; it’s was scheduled last week and postponed again to this Friday. With hope we will go to the trip, I prepared her with Breakfast and lunch. I called up class teacher 7 to reconfirm the plan. Positively she gave a big ‘yes’.

Initially I was more hesitant to go with her and we both tried to convince her saying you will enjoy more without Amma. You can run and talk and nothing went to her ears, she was firm in her standpoint that I must.

With school prayer and we made a late start by 9:30 from the school. I was able to see the bloom on the kids face when we entered the park entrance with still slight drizzle. At every watch point in the park their teacher gave them info on that animal. Good thing was before lunch she allowed the kids to play in the park. After the lunch we packed way back to school by 2pm.

On the way Jr asked me 'amma did you enjoy the trip' and I nodded yes in response. End of the day she was happy out of her regular mundane school.

One of the short poem by Sadhguru which strikes strongly in my mind again and again ..

You did escape the trap
of elemental hive.

But it is your own doing
that is the ultimate trap

Till you go beyound your own crap
there is no way to break this trap.

Peeping from the Window

Loaded with lots of work and unable to resist the dull darkness of daylight, sharing the windowpane of the corridor outside the workplace enjoy the cool breeze and hot breeze. Its was getting ready to rain was the prediction by 5 in the evening. Observed the dark clouds and cooool breeze and hot breeze back to the desk to continue with what was left over.

Moving out of the work place by 9 waiting to watch the water flooding on the roads and parking area. To my surprise no water droplet in the ground. Asked, the Security @ gate "Didn't it rain?” He replied back no it was only passing clouds and little shower and ground observed that water sprinkles.

Alas! Bit disappointment driving back home. I was thinking of the days where my mom used to make me paper boats to play with water that was flowing the streets. My mom never stopssss me with all these seasonal enjoyment of playing with rain, running around with kites, play @ roadside puppies. Cherishing the childhood memories reached home.

To surprise waked by morning 4.30 and found it was raining from mid night.

Mother Nature is it passing clouds or hiding clouds to make ur presence on rain after everyone goest to bed?

Wanting to be Friday

It's so Thursday :-)  Don't know the mind is a state of happines couldn't define. Willing play with Jr and tell her stories and tit bits on animal world.

My long term wish I'm joining my violin class this week.
