To my guru, with love...

- A special initiative for Guru Poornima 2014

to my guru with love


 

In life there are numerous people who truly deserve our gratitude. For, many have been the hands that have joined in moulding our present. The Indian scriptures remind us, 'Matru Devo Bhava, Pitru Devo Bhava, Acharya Devo Bhava' - One owes respect to one's mother, father and teacher in the order mentioned; and above all God of course, for it says give respect by treating them like God.

Most of us individuals have ample opportunities to show gratitude to our parents. We live our entire life with them and have scope for filling their lives with joy for all they have done for us. But what about our teachers? We meet many of them through the journey of life. Some touch our lives in ways we cannot describe or even comprehend. Some do it so silently that years pass before we realise they did, like the fragrance of a rose garden that often comes to us only after we have walked past it.

Bhagawan would often insist we be grateful to God for all that He has given us. But why, one wonders! Doesn't God do whatever He does selflessly, then why does He seek our gratitude?

The answer is simple - gratitude is a noble virtue to possess, and Bhagawan wishes we all be virtuous enough to be grateful. Most of the inspiring teachers we encounter in life too neither had the time nor desire for our gratitude, but each one of you will agree that saying that thanks, even if it is in the silence of our hearts, makes us feel so warm and happy.

So, why not we express our love to those teachers on this occasion of Guru Poornima? You do it the way it gives you joy - poem, audio message, a picture or just a few heartfelt words - we will share it with the rest of the world.

Who knows, after all your teacher might see your message and with a twinkle in his or her eye, and remember you with fondness. It could be anybody - your Bal Vikas guru, your swimming instructor, your kindergarten teacher or even someone you look up to as a teacher - but someone who has touched your life in a way that is very special and taught you an indelible lesson of life. Make your Guru Poornima special, by remembering that one special teacher.

Miss Janu Vaswani

Hong Kong

First of all, let me introduce myself to the H2H readers, my name is Miss Janu Vaswani, female, 53 years of age, single, lived in Hong Kong since age of 1 year. Born in Philippines on 18th March 1961, I am a blind Indian lady, educated in Hong Kong; I can speak Chinese, English, Hindi, Sindhi etc. My occupation is a volunteer and I’ve been working as a volunteer since 1982 at the Hong Kong society for the blind.

Since 1978 I began joining the Sathya Sai organisation and the first thing I began was singing bhajans on 24th, November, then my Balvikas life began on 30th November that same year. Please note, during my time, when I use to attend balvikas classes, Mr. Martin Mahtani, Mrs. Jyoti Mahtani, Miss. Shermila Mahtani, Mr. Chandru Daswani, Mrs. Gopi Jaisinghani, Mr. Gurum were kind enough to teach us prayers, bhajans, stories of different saints, such as: Rama, Krishna, Sathya Sai baba, Shirdi Sai baba, Jesus, Allah, and others well, Suprabhatam was taught by Mr. Chandru Daswani, bhajans were taught by Mr. Sai Deepak, Mrs. Padu Nainani. Please note, once I was a Balvikas bhajan guru for some time, but these people had dropped me out. But now I am a musician on a daily basis, I play harmonium for different gatherings daily.

I give thanks to all my Balvikas gurus for their time and efforts which they've put. I also give thanks to the h2h team for giving me this opportunity to write this short article to share with the readers about my life in Balvikas.

I studied in a Mission School long back. I don't remember all my teachers except one Mr. C.J.R. Price, from Australia, who was the Principal and who joined us in our daily prayer meetings, to sing the school song, the motto of which is to be upright any time, everywhere.

Even today the song rings in me loud and clear, after many many decades. His moral teachings in prayer hall, his commitment, service, sacrifice and above all his love and personal touch with students and parents, certainly influenced my life tremendously, in my formative years and widened my horizons. I take this opportunity on this sacred GURU PURNIMA day to pay my respects and homage to this great SOUL.

Dearest Swami,

Who else can be the Guru for me except You? You’re the one who sends these teachers my way when I am doubtful, or when I just need physical assistance with mundane things. If I thank you, that means I am thanking everyone who made a “difference” in my life. I’m thankful for all You have done for me Swami: for giving me a life in which I can serve You and love You, for giving me a wonderful family who supports and encourages me to follow a path that You have laid out for me, for giving me wonderful SSE teachers who are always encouraging us to do the right thing and just love You more and more, for giving me an education both spiritually and worldly, for giving me mentors who are able to explain to me the simplicity of spirituality, for Radio Sai for giving me and everyone across the globe an opportunity to ruminate over You and Your Love.

I just pray that You make me Love all with the capital “L” like You did in the physical form and still continue to do in Your cosmic form and Serve all with a capital “S” like you did—Selflessly, as You have done and still continue to do. I can’t even express in words how grateful I am to You Swami! I offer this humble offering at Your Divine Lotus Feet.

“My Mother, Father, and Dearest Friend and Guide
Yes that’s what gives me joy and pride.
A mother who gives her selfless Love,
Who is as pure as the whiteness of a dove.
A father who makes sure I’m following righteousness,
Who makes sure I don’t live life with carelessness.
A dearest friend indeed,
The only one who will come at my need.
A guide he is to many,
And doesn’t ask even for a penny.
A guru who comes down,
To take the jewels of His Divine crown.”

TEACHERS ARE SPECIAL INDEED

In memories of my most special teacher, my balvikas guru Mrs. Maya Dharwadkar...

We meet different people in the journey of life making a difference to our lives, but there is a special someone who inspires us by giving us some precious insights. Apart from mother and father, there are some angels who truly keep guiding us, the special ones whom we are blessed to find correcting us in our daily lives.

To the ones who have been working harder day and night to educate each one of us, here is a token of my love to teachers for having gifted this world their love in abundance.

Every teacher is special in my life but there is one teacher, who taught me a beautiful line, Sai hamara hum sai ke aisa prem hamara, sairam hamara sairam hamara everytime. Yes, it was my balvikas teacher, who gifted me the keys to unlock life’s useful guidelines; she was the medium who taught me ways to connect to divinity more closely at all times.

She was not just a teacher but more like a guide, a friend who could answer my queries. She believed in all the work I did by showing immense faith in me and my capabilities. If there is any way that I could offer my love to her as her balvikas student or as a youth, it’s only by walking on the glorious godly path that she taught me since my childhood.

She was a role model in the lives of each one of us, youngsters as well as elders, an epitome of humility, sincerity, love and a true teacher chosen by Bhagawan. She is no more amongst us physically but her ideals and memories are prevalent in our hearts, a teacher who truly inspired me personally, I offer my deepest gratitude and sincere love.

We are most thankful to Swami for sending you here and most grateful to you for enduring us for so many long years. Learning with you was such a pleasure... good (g)olden days we shall cherish forever... how I wish i were still a child sitting in your class... but you taught us that we have promises to keep and miles to go before we sleep..

Having turned our lives Saiward, your lessons for life guide and guard us giving us hope and courage.

Pray bless us that we too may be worthy instruments of Swami like you...living up to His message.

"The Divine Gardener has taken upon Himself, the task of cultivating a beautiful garden;

He waters and gently cares for all His saplings and delights in watching them grow into mighty trees, mature shrubs and bushes, and lush lawns that give beauty and pleasure, fruits and nourishment, shade and rest for all humanity. And for this garden, Sai created a lovely nursery too. He called it - Sri Sathya Sai Bal Vikas."
 

My most humble salutations to the Divine Gardener, for making me one such sapling in His beautiful garden!

On this occassion of Guru Poornima, it is indeed my duty to express my sincere gratitude to the Eternal Guru and to all my Balvikas Gurus, for what I am today.

Just as a guidepost stands firm and shows the direction clearly, so also, the guru shows the path to the students to follow, guides through every step in that path, shares our moments of success and failures, and loves us forever!

This day, I am elated to convey my special and hearty thanks to my most loving Balvikas guru, Smt. Manorama Vijaysai, who has mentored me in every step of my life through her guidance. Being an alumnus of the Sri Sathya Sai University, she has truly been a role model and inspiration to me. I would take this opportunity to thank her whole heartedly for all her support.
 

Thank you for listening to me, supporting me, and encouraging me.

You're a true friend and I want you to know how much I love and appreciate you.

You are the Best!

May Bhagawan shower His choicest blessings on you to continue this great service.

"Siblings are people we practice on, the people who teach us about fairness and cooperation and kindness and caring".

It’s often said that the young ones learn from the elders, and it’s always hard being the elder one, as one has to set an example.

From helping me out with my studies to handling peer pressure and in between our petty fights and arguments, you have taught me how to handle, perceive, appreciate, enjoy, love, believe, care, sing, dance and especially taught me to only depend on Swami and surrender to Him in all times.

The confidence you have in me fills my confidence and each time when I hesitate to do something the much needed push from you helps me to be a better person.

This Guru Poornima I would like to express my gratitude to my Dearest Eldest Brother for being my brother, friend, teacher, counsellor and everything...Thank you!!!

Whenever you walk with that golden smile
I feel that I must kneel down on my knees to make you know,
How much grace is on your face
How much elegant that your smile is…
Whenever your behaviour is shown on your character
Then, I feel I must stare at you continuously
So that I can know,
How much intelligent you are
How much perfect you really are…
Whenever your simplicity gets reflected on my eyes
Then, I realize... How special you are to me
Lucky me!
That I got someone so alluring mother, father, and companion
as you...
And I really wish to be with you Swami.
Forever and ever...

Guru is one who shows the path to reach the destination.

Baba is my first Guru... My path as well as my destination.

Ex-president Mr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam has also influenced me to a great extent. I try to follow his simplicity and his focus.

Mahatma Gandhi and Einstein are also great souls with whom I could connect and bring a change in me. Although there were many such eminent personalities who had an impact on me... I would always ask myself “Does Baba approve of this person?"... "Is the message same as what Baba says?"...

So my ultimate and only Guru is Baba. I always thank the Lord for having found a Guru at an early age and giving me the privilege to know Him, learn from Him and follow Him.

There is a popular Kannada song composed by Purandaradasa with the lyrics "Bhakti Sukhavo Mukti Sukhavo?" which means is bhakti (devotion) better or Mukti (salvation). I have tasted Bhakti with my dear Baba and every day of my life is meaningful because of Him.

Dearest Lord,

From darkness you brought me to light;
Compassion flowed in your mere sight
Every word of yours brought transformation;
Your Hue of orange, to my soul is a revelation
Every time you gave a second chance;
Lessons of life that take us to trance
You are a Rose and I - a piece of clay;
Being close to you, thy sweet fragrance of love moulds me without delay
Years after years, births after births, the cycle of karma continues;
And so the bond between you and me, for sure you would never let me loose
Trials and tribulations bring tears to my eyes as i weep in distress;
But remembrance of thy lotus feet dissolves away my stress
Your words of love echoes in my heart and I feel like asking
"Have you forgotten me?"
The next moment my inner voice soothes me saying
"How can that ever be?"
Embraced by your divine love, my soul is healed;
When will I be yours dear Lord?
You alone are my guardian and Guide... My loving Guru!

My dearest Guru, my Sadguru, my Swami!

How can I thank you for all what You have done for me, for transformation, Your immense Love and Grace? Not only for what You did for me I would like to thank, but for what You have done for the whole world.

You attracted millions of hearts to love them, transform them, work through them, live in them, and still You will call more hearts, one by one, until all little hearts are united in Your great Divine Heart. You will expand until the whole universe is fulfilled with bliss and Divinity, singing Your Glory, and even stars will adorn Your Lotus feet in Joy!

How can I express my gratitude? It will never be enough! What can I give You in return? I have nothing to give, for everything belongs to You, even this little yearning heart! You are in me, I am in You, and there is only one Love, this is GOD. So I thank You with Your Love, with Yourself, our Swami, our Everything!

Samastha loka sukhino bhavantu!

My beloved Swami is my Guru forever and ever. He is guiding me through this life as a Mother, Friend, Guru. Though I didn't have the opportunity to enjoy the physical presence of my Swami, the bliss which I am experiencing now is much more than that. No words to express that feeling. He is always with us. Whenever I am feeling down, I go to none other than my Swami. I share with him everything.

He has made me happy through many darshan in dreams. I feel my Swami each second. There is a reason for feeling Swami as my Guru. There are many people who will tell you what is wrong and right, what I should do and I shouldn't. But Swami instead teaches us to tackle all the problems by making us to face that problem instead of hiding from that problem.

If suppose I am afraid to face a situation and it is bothering me a lot, Swami doesn't help us by preventing me from facing that situation. Instead He puts us into that situation and gives us all strength and helps us get through that fear completely. Thanks a lot from all us Swami for guiding us through our lives!!!

At this moment, I am remembering a special song which I would like to dedicate to my Saimaaaa... each word in this song is true from heart Swami... Love you Bangaru . :)

It is with heartfelt gratitude that I pay tribute to the one person, apart from Bhagawan whom I saw as my GURU through eyes as a child, a teenager and right throughout my adulthood, he is my DAD who right now in heaven.

My DAD was such a special man in my life, he taught me to be a strong woman and to understand that LIFE can be a huge CHALLENGE, that from time to time I will walk through FIRE and that weapons could be formed against me, but he showed me that with steadfast devotion and contemplation on GOD, I would have a protector for life like no other. He showed me the path to spirituality at a very tender age, and even though he wanted me to face the world bravely, he always protected me in his own loving way.

What more in life could I ask for than being shown the path of spirituality, for with this fell into place all other aspects of my life.

Today I am a mother with two children, and how more clear do I see my DAD, my GURU when I confer on my kids all that he taught me.

I strained outside the Mandir main gate to catch a glimpse of the orange robe. The bhajans were playing, but on this Guru Poornima, this day honouring my teacher, Sai Baba, I could not see him. I could only see thousands of other people seated in the vast hall. Never before had I not seen Baba. I could not believe it.

Then a parade of hand powered tricycles came towards the gate, each with a new owner and a Seva Dal attendant. Baba must have just gifted these cycles and with them, independence for the riders.

And so, in their faces, I saw the teacher, and received Darshan and a new lesson to contemplate.

Dear Mrs. Shobha Chopra Mam,

You are the precious gift which Lord has bestowed on us-
I wonder if I am our Lord’s dearest,
for I got you from him being the weirdest.
From then to now and from now to future,
you were, you are and you will always be enshrined in my heart forever.
Without you by my side I don’t know where I would have been,
you are like a fairy with powers unseen.
Your love is your magic wand;
your smile gives me a winning hand.
Your ‘Aura’ is what makes you special,
which drives my spirit to a higher level.
In your acts you are selfless;
with your benevolence you help the helpless.
Whenever I needed you-
without my expectations,
you were there by my side without any limitations.
You taught students History
bursting all mystery,
of kings and wars to make knowledge ours.
You were, you are and you will forever be favorite mentor of ours.
“Thank You’’ for giving me your selfless love and care.

With Love and Regards,
Sai Aanchal

"The Eyes of that Brown Bunny"

The Eyes of that brown bunny spoke to me,
There were no words, there was no sound.
There was no movement.
But there was that deep message oozing out of his eyes.

You saw through his Eyes
You saw his Soul,
You felt; You touched the Silence
for You had the Silence in You.

You saw Courage in his Eyes
for you had the Courage to stand up to
Your situation in you.

You saw determination in his Eyes
for you had the determination to grow up,
to let go, to move on.

You saw fearlessness in his Eyes
for you had let go your own fears.

You saw Kindness, Tenderness in his Eyes
through understanding in You.

You saw the strength in his Eyes
for You had found your own strength in the
Love You are, the Love witnessing the Divine Drama.

You saw him walk away with elegance, courage,
strength, dignity, kindness, love
for you had touched all that in Your Self as a
witness to that Divine Drama.

You saw the depth of his Soul in his Eyes
for you had touched the depth of Your Soul, Your Self,
Your 'Own Self, Your own Truth.

You were given an opportunity to Experience "Your Self"
in You through You.

“The Real teacher is the one who inspires“

As per the saying above, I am inspired by few persons in my life whom I consider as my Gurus.

Matha, Pitha:
First and foremost, my parents are my first Gurus. They are the reason for my sheer existence. Their love and the confidence in me made me a self-reliant person. Thanks a lot Amma and Appa. I love you.

Guru:
Next is my Uncle Mr. Narayanan who merged in Swami a few years ago. He was my first Balvikas Guru who inspired and encouraged me to do Manava Seva. Thanks a lot Uncle. I know you must have attained Moksha for the service you did to the society. If not you would have definitely got a place in Swami’s heart. I love you.

Fourth is my Balvikas Guru Mrs. Prema Madhusudhanan who is deemed to be my foster mother. She inspired me to be a Balvikas Guru myself. Her encouragement and confidence in me boosted my self-confidence. Thanks a lot Aunty. I am always grateful to you and still cannot forget the way you would teach us many values. I love you.

Daivam:
Last but not the least is my eternal friend and Guru - My dearest Swami. He stands by me always. He smiles and laughs with me. He is always there to wipe my tears. He pushes me into delusion and pulls me away from it. He is my Sadguru and Jagadguru. Thank you Swami. I love you.

Wait, Did I forget to thank one more person? Yes, of course. My husband Balaji assumes the role of at least one of the above in times of need and guides me. I love you dear.

Lost was I in the crowd of Mumbai as a XII STD student, shuttling between crash entrance coaching and a self thrusted ambition of becoming a doctor! With the ego of being a Medical entrance student, the courses like BSc. felt like the options of the hopeless!! Then one day, I met a gentleman in whites...and my life changed...

The life that was centred around MBBS and merit lists slowly fondled a desire to be in the crowd that wore Whites and clustered around a single beauty clad in Orange.

Life no longer felt like a race to print a designation next to my name...all it desired was for a smile, a glance, a touch...and perhaps a few words from that orange beauty...perhaps, a transition from calling him "Sri Sai Baba"...to "my dear Swami".

Life just searched for a medium to be close to Him...and the 'gentleman in whites' with a smile told me, there could possibly be a medium..."why don't you try for BSc in BioSciences in Swami's institute?.." and produced an application form of admission to SSSIHL.

With Bhagawan's grace, I never looked back since that day! On this occasion of Guru Pournima, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to that 'gentleman in whites' for opening up a door into my life which I will cherish forever...a door that chose GOD...and BSc. was no longer a course of the hopeless...because then, it was my ONLY HOPE to be near HIM!

To Shri Tushar Swadia...'the gentleman in whites'.

Dearest and most respected Swami, Pranam.

You are the most wonderful and loving teacher in this world. You have guided us in innumerable instances through various modes of communication and you make sure your student never fails in understanding. Thank you for the sweet love and care that you shower on us.

Swami, the love and gratitude we have for you cannot be expressed through words; it is heartfelt and we know that it reaches you the minute we think about it. My prayer is that kindly be strict with our minds and make sure it never wavers from acting against how you want us to be. Love you so much Swami!

My Humble Salutations at the Divine Lotus Feet Of the Divine Cosmic Mother Sai Maa!

Sairam!

SWAMI is my Divine Guru. The most important inspiration to me is my Mother. On behalf of my family, I really want to dedicate this song/poem, to my dearest mother, whom my dear Lord SAI has blessed me with. Though we cannot repay the debt of a mother, felt this is the only way, where we can to a certain extent offer our humble offering at her Divine feet.

 

 

Mother, we can never repay for all the sacrifices you have made for us.... 
This is My offering at your Lotus Feet...

To My Mother With Love...
 

O Maa tu he mamtha ki murat (O Dear Mother You are an embodiment of Compassion)
Tujh mein dekha bhagwan ki surat (In you We see God)
 

O Maa O Maa O Maa.

 

Mere Zindagi ka pehelakadam (My First baby steps started with you)
Tujse huvaa shuroo

Tujh mein mein paaya Maa (I found My Guru In You Dear Mother)
Mera pehela GURU

Ho agar phirse janam Maa (If there is a birth again Dear Mother)
banjaao phir se too meri Maa ( Please come as my Mother again)


 

Tujh mein dekaa he Maa (In you I saw Dear Mother)
Shraddha aur saburi (Faith and Patience)

Mere zindagi ki her ek kwaaish ko (You fulfilled all my desires)
Na choda tumne adhoori

Sab kuch dekar tu ne Maa (Having given everything O dear Mother)
Kuch na maanga mujhse tu pyari Maa (You have not expected anything back from me)


 

Teri qurubaniyaan kaise chukaavun Maa (How can I repay all of your sacrifices)
Bus Yahee ek raasta he (The only way to repay you is to follow your footsteps)

Tere kadamomein mein chalna
Rab se ye duvaan  mein maangun ( Let the Lord always take care of your well-being, this is my only prayer to GOD and my desire )

Salaamat rakhe tumhe bus yahee mein chaahun.


 

O Maa tu he mamtha ki murat (O Dear Mother You are an embodiment of Compassion)
Tujh mein dekha bhagwan ki surat (In you We see God)

O Maa tu he mamtaa ki murat
Tujh mein dekha Bhagawan ki surat

O Maa O Maa O Maa.

Bhagawan subtly explains today how every movement of the Universe is beneficial and urges us to learn life lessons from Nature.

Today’s Sai Inspires from Prasanthi Nilayam, Friday, July 4, 2014

What or who is God? When the answer to this question is sought, one discovers that God is the glory immanent in Nature. The earth rotates on its axis at a speed of thousand miles an hour. As a consequence, we have alternations of day and night, which helps us to live on this globe. Besides, it moves around the sun at the rate of 66,000 miles an hour, causing the seasons which bring rains for crops and vegetation which sustain human life. The earth does not profit in the least by these rotations but human beings survive, enjoy life and prosper on account of them. Nature must indeed be laughing at the sterile frenzies, the endless pursuits, and the countless miseries to which human beings submit themselves to, in their search for achieving the unachievable! You must search in Nature the sacred lessons it holds for you; then, you will understand how deep and how everlasting is the Truth that it conveys to you!

-Divine Discourse, 22 Jan 1982.

There is no greater example of Selfless love than Nature.-BABA.

New Talk: Achieving the "Sai Mission" post Mahasamadhi

By Aravind Balasubramanya

Jul 3 at 7:23 AM

Dear all,

There is often this feeling that since Sri #SathyaSai has taken#Mahasamadhi, we need to pull up our socks and start doing more for 'His mission'! But what is it exactly that we must do? Should it be different from what we did when He was physically there? What are the resources we need to further His mission and how do we gather them?

The answer arrives from episodes in the life of Sri #Kasturi, Dr.#Bhagawantham and, most importantly, from our own Swami's life. Here are some unique episodes and incidents which possibly have not been made public before. An hour long talk, titled, "Achieving the '#SaiMission' post Mahasamadhi."
