09-06-2011 Jai Gurudev!
08-0602011Sri Sri: Jai Gurudev!Today an incident has taken place. Pitaji, the one who has given me this body, has left his body. Body coming and leaving is a celebration. After living a complete life he has gone to the source. We should know that our bodies are going to be destroyed. He has been always enthusiastic. every one’s life is a story In his childhood he was born in scientific and learned family
His parents were in Gandhiji’s ashram for 20 years and worked for India’s independence. At that time Pitaji was 10 years old. He was studying in an English medium school in Bangalore. He quit school during the Quit India Movement. His father expired when he was 16 years old. At that tender age, he took care of his family financially. He used to walk 17km daily. He used to work and he started a shop which his brother used to manage. Pitaji’s younger brother was very innocent. He never said anything to his brother about not talking proper care of the shop. When Bhanu and I were born, he ensured that we always had everything. He used to tell us new stories everyday. Every evening when he would come, we would clap hands. He would serve the poor. He never bothered about tomorrow. When the Bangalore International center started, he took care of the ashram. He would come to the ashram everyday to take care of the requirements and he would bring vegetables too. He would travel by bus, even though I would tell him to go by car. In a village wherer the ashram, 100 young girls were being sold. Pitaji stopped that and taught those girls tailoring. He has had a enthusiastic and happy life. I would like all the elderly to live with enthusiasm till their last breath, Pitaji used to say: there are three kinds of people: VIP, VVIP, and VOC. VOC: Very ordinary chap. Pitaji used to call himself a very ordinary chap. He was a down to earth person. Till his last breath he was involved inn service projects. He never believed in long rituals. When rituals for the dead would go on for too long, Pitaji would say that the person performing the rituals for the dead would die. A few days ago, Pitaji expressed his wish that he wants to depart. He breathed his last when I landed in Bangalore. He was so energetic. Even when he would walk, he would walk like an elephant. He has experienced a wide spectrum. Remembering all his qualities mean that we should imbibe those qualities in us. He was so deep in faith and commitment. We need to imbibe all those qualities that he represented and lived all his life. His had sense of humor and humility. He designed a car when we were young. He was very fond of making a 4 wheeler car in India. At that time he went to Delhi to get a license. At that time Maruti car was also getting launched. He tried to get the license for 4 years. He said OK the government is refusing to give license for 4 wheeler car, so I will take one wheel away. He made a 3 wheeler vehicle. There was so much corruption at every step of the way. I told him, why are you doing all this? I told him to get into service. Then he started VISTA India. In Sirsi, 450 km from here he started work. He has worked in 33 villages and created many groups. He used to go to these remote villages and take care of those women and children. I haven’t been to that place yet. His wish was that I should visit the 33 villages where he has worked. I will go there.
LOVE
