Mumbai Inner Engineering program with Sathguru jaggi Vasudev

Over 3,000 people attend Mumbai Inner Engineering program

This morning saw Mumbaikars from all quarters of the city pouring into the Bandra-Kurla Complex at 8am, in order to make it in time for the second day of the Inner Engineering with Sadhguru. Following the morning sessions, where Sadhguru began teaching the initial stages of the practice, the participants were treated to a question and answer session before breakfast. As the day unfolded, the participants where lead on a journey inward, which Sadhguru likened to a person looking for a nearby location – if you’re facing the right way, you can easily reach there, otherwise you may have to go around the world to reach the house next door! In the same way, spirituality is not about going somewhere, it’s about turning oneself inward. 

Shambhavi Initiation for 3,000+

The day arrived that many people had been longing for – the Sunday program, where the participants were initiated into the Shambhavi Mahamudra Kriya, a powerful process of immeasurable antiquity. Morning started off with a lively music session, the spiritual program converted into a joyful dance of abandon.

Initiation – a rare opportunity to receive an exuberant spiritual practice at the hands of a living master. Many people who had never sat with their eyes closed for more than a few minutes were sitting effortlessly during the kriya, absorbed in the blissfulness of their inner nature. After the initiation process ended, Sadhguru walked down the ramp, blessing baskets full of jasmine flowers, which were then distributed to the participants.

Recent Happenings in Isha Vidhya......

Sahana's Book Drive My name is Sahana Venkatesh (12 years old) and I live in U.S. Reading books is my favorite hobby and when I went to look for books in the small town that I was visiting in India, I found that it was very hard to find books to read. I then realized that children in towns and villages like these across India would be deprived of the pleasure of books for perhaps their whole childhood. Seeing this, I decided that I would start a book drive for these children. I was talking to my mother about starting a club to raise books for India and she brought up IshaVidhya as a possible organization. I jumped on the opportunity and brought it up to my friends and teachers at school. They were excited at the prospect of being able to help other children who lacked the books that they took for granted every day and so I started a book drive with over 15 members helping out to collect books throughout the school. I would like to thank IshaVidhya for providing me this opportunity to contribute a small pebble to the big mountain of social work that Isha is doing.

LIC donates Rs.25 lakhs The Life Insurance Corporation of India has donated Rs.25 lakhs to Isha Vidhya. The amount will contribute towards the construction of four class rooms, a library and a toilet block at the Isha Vidhya School in Sandegoundenpalayam, Coimbatore. Click here to read more.

ஆனந்த அலைகளில் மிதந்தோம்...

ஆனந்த அலைகளில் மிதந்தோம்.........

(கருணை) மழையில் நனைந்தோம்...

எங்களுள் மலர்ந்தோம்.....

தரிசனம் கிடைத்தது........

பரவசம் நிகழ்ந்தது.......

ஜனவரி 2 மாலை YMCA மைதானத்தில் திட்டமிட்டபடி அவை  யாவும் சிறப்பாக நிகழ்ந்து விட்டது.
பசுமைக் கரங்கள் இயக்கம் துவக்கப் பட்டது.
 சத்குருவின் ஆன்மீக உரை எப்போதும்போல் எளிமையாகவும், பொருள் செறிந்தும், கதைகளும் நகைச்சுவையும் நிறைந்தும் அனைவரையும் கட்டிப்போட்டது.
 த்யான நிகழ்வில் உள்ளம் மலர்ந்து தன்னிலை மறந்தவர்கள் பல்லாயிரம். 
கேள்வி பதில் நிகழ்ச்சி அனைவரையும் கவர்ந்தது.
 சத்குருவின் தரிசனம்,  சிறப்பு நடைபாதையில்  நளினமாகவும் தெய்வீகமாகவும் ஆடி நடந்தது எல்லாம்,   மழை அலைகளையும் மீறி ஆனந்த அலைகளை எழுப்பியது. 


ஒவ்வொருவர் வாழ்விலுள் மறக்க முடியாத தருணமாக இது பதிக்கப்பட்டது.


தன்னார்வ தொண்டர்கள் தனக்கு அளிக்கப்பட சேவைகளை மிக சிறப்பாக ஆற்றி பேரானந்தம் அடைந்தார்கள். தங்களுடைய பணிகளுக்கு நடுவே அப்பப்போது கிடைக்கும் குருவின் தரிசனமும் அவரது குரலும் எல்லா அண்ணாக்களுக்கும் அக்காக்களுக்கும் ஊக்கத்தை தந்தது.
-----------------------
தன்னார்வ தொண்டர்களோடு சத்குரு பேசும்போது அலை கடலென மகிழ்ச்சி ஆரவாரம்..
சத்குரு கருணையுடன் கூறியது:  நீங்கள்லாம் மழையில ஏற்க்கனவே ரொம்ப நனைஞ்சுட்டீங்க ..உங்களை மேலும்  கஷ்டப்படுத்த  விரும்பலை..
தொடர்கள் ஆர்வத்துடன் கூறியது:  சத்குரு, நாங்கள்லாம் கரைஞ்சு போக மாட்டோம் ..தயவு செய்து பேசுங்க..

கூப்பிய கையும்,  கொவ்வை செவ்வாயில் குறும் சிரிப்பும் கொண்டு
தெய்வீக இசையின் பின்னணியில் குரு ஆடிக்கொண்டே சென்று திரும்பிய போது ஆடாத  மனமும் உடலும் அங்கே இல்லை.


 மழை என்னங்க மழை..நனைஞ்சா கரைஞ்சா போயிடுவோம்?
நேற்றுதான் புதிதாக பிறந்து, மனம் என்னும் பூ மலர்ந்து, கைகளில் இரண்டு மறக்கன்றுகளோடு வீடு திரும்பினேன்!  அது போதுமே !
