Tuesday, September 28, 2004 ( 2:29 AM ) sankar To Do's.. I am planning to do some of these things this week: 1) buy a landline and internet connection from Touchtel or Tata 2) get an annual membership in a nearby swimming club 3) to surrender Tata mobile connection after paying my last bill and the instrument's cost to the company. # Wednesday, September 22, 2004 ( 3:48 AM ) sankar Saw Sathguru Along with Geetha, I went to attend Isha Fest at Velliangiri Hills, Coimbatore last Sunday. We stayed there for a day. For the first time, I saw Sathguru Jagi Vasudev, who gave a speech on how the world peace conferences are becoming a joke. He said that there cannot be world peace unless everyone of us feel peace with ourselves first. His speech was very enlightening. I enjoyed the kind of anecdotes he shared with the audience. I wanted to ask him a question but there was no press meet as such organised. Though, I would have asked him anything I wanted to as he walked past us, I did not do so. There were over 10,000 people attending the function. The theme of the cultural programmes organised was North America. We had Americans, Mexicans and Canadians performing dances, music, etc. The Isha Fest, celeberated every year, is basically to commomerate the day when Sathguru had a deep spiritual experience. The actual day was 21st September but since World Peace Conference (WHO observes this?) falls on 19th September, the event was preponned to coincide with that. # Monday, September 06, 2004 ( 10:00 PM ) sankar September matham "September matham, September matham, valvin thunbaththai tholaiththu vittom ....Inbam tholainthathu yeppo, kalyanam nadanthathe appooo" This lyrics from a Tamil song interestingly proved right in my case. I was not feeling well for the last whole month. My mother underwent an operation; my brother lost his job; I was anxious about starting my new venture; my wife was away..staying in our native place (Aadi month). Somehow, I felt lonely, depressed, even feared of death...as I started feeling pain in the chest. Luckily it was all mind-made and the cardiologists (couple of them), general physcians (couple of them again) and ECG machines could found no problem whatsoever with my lub-dub machine. I only needed positive thoughts, (plus pills for sleeping, relieving tension, as prescribed by my doctor). I joined Isha Foundation's 13-day yoga and meditation programme, which helped a lot. Vijay's mother did some pranic healing. Whenever, I seemed to show a kind of withdrawal symptom, Vijay gave his "laughter therapy" (cracking unbelievably remarkable jokes) making me lol that boosted my health. My colleagues, management, especially, Jai were very cooperative, even though my output came down drastically. I felt greatly relieved after each and every conversation I had with my wife over phone. My father turned out to be a God...he was very helpful. Above all, Saravanan was understanding, stood with me, cheered me up...via mails. I was feeling great at Isha Foundation's Bava Spandana Programme (which I took part in Coimbatore's Velliangiri Hills after completing the 13-day course at Chennai). Fine, on 3rd Sep, we moved in to Koyambedu to a 2 bedroom house...nice place.. I am regularly exercising....doing Isha pranayam and meditation. With the grace of Sathguru Jagi Vasudev, I realise that living life at the fullest is our duty, come what may. And I think Iam doing that perhaps better than ever. # |
