One magical evening of knowledge, spirituality and joy with Janeshwari
Devi in Galway, Ireland - by David
Janeshwari Devi's (Didiji's) lecture tonight in Galway, Ireland was
just magical. Devotees and members of the public from throughout
Galway city sat in rapt attention as Janeshwari Devi combined
impassioned speech, Sankrit verses, necterean chantings with a dynamic
multi-media presentation with her natural humour and compassion to
deliver the evening's message: "Who am I? What is mine?" Didiji's
lecture was a microcosm of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj's amazing
Divine series of 108 lectures of the same title in Hindi, "Main Kaun?
Mera Kaun?"
The peaceful, softly lit studio at Wholistic House of Healing on
Buttermilk Walk was buzzing with knowledge and spiritual vibrations,
with the gentle glow of Didiji's saffron robes and flowing speech
adding to the ambiance. Many of the attendees expressed an interest in
attending Didiji's upcoming lecture series' in Galway. Several bought
CDs with beautiful chantings revealed by Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji
Maharaj, so they could continue with their meditations at home.
In her talk she explains that we are a Divine soul who seeks only
perfect happiness. Our mind feels this call for perfect happiness but
has always been looking for it the place where it is impossible to
find - in the material world. A new car only brings us happiness until
it ceases to be "new". Our true happiness is in God who is "Love"
Himself.
At one stage in the lecture, Didiji presented a graphic of two birds
sitting on a tree in which two birds are sitting on a tree. A red bird
is perched on a lower branch, absorbed in eating the fruit of that
tree, while a blue bird just watched from an upper branch. She then
recited a well known verse from Mandukya Upnishad, "Dva suparna sayuja
sakhaya samanam vriksham parishasvajate. Tayoranyah pippalam
svadvattyanashnam abhicakashiti," which conveys the eternal relation
of soul and God. The red bird represents us, the soul, and the blue
bird represents God. We are always looking for happiness through
enjoying the fruits of this world, while our eternal friend, God, who
is always with us, watches on. This was just one of the many
scriptural verses sung by Didiji which further clarified our true
identity is soul.
Didiji simply explained the anwer to the second question of the
evening, "What is mine?" in one word - nothing. We had nothing when we
entered this world, and we will also leave with nothing. All we have
is our good thoughts and actions, and our spirituality. Every
spiritual endeavour is of utmost value, because we carry the effect of
this into our next life. Chanting, meditation, developing our
relationship with God - this is our true wealth in life.
Didiji then gave an inspiring presentation on the extensive
philanthropic activities of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj. We got
to see inspiring scenes of the selfless dedication and service of the
volunteers of Jagadguru Kripalu Charitable Hospitals and the great
benefit to the lives of impoverishment villagers who earn the
equivalent of just €1.50 per day. Then we got to see the optimistic
and smiling faces of the girls of Kripalu Balika Primary School,
Kripalu Balika Intermediate College and Kripalu Mahila Mahavidyalaya
whose entire educational needs are being provided for by the
benevolence of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj at no cost to the
girls. When their education is complete, students from these colleges
will disperse throughout India as successful, confident and empowered
women.
The 1.5 hour session concluded with an insightful question and answer
session followed by chanting of "Radhey Govind", and a touching
Sanskrit prayer. We look forward to welcoming you to her upcoming
talks at Satnam Center, Indigo Healing Center and An Seomra Yoga. See
you there!
