(veiw from 94th floor from J.H Observatory )


The moon in Chicago hid itself behind the clouds because it became shy when it saw the lord of the Universe “Our Guru” today. Adorned by a garland of white and red flowers he looked radiant and serene in his white robe. How can words describe the inexpressible, exquisite form of pure infinite brilliance? The brilliance that eyes cannot capture and can only be felt by a devotee’s heart


Guruji asked us to reflect back in time the last year and observe the spiritual growth that happened.
A lot has happened for me I feel.A Lot! And I feel grateful for having been given this chance to walk on the path. Because nothing is more fulfilling and worth than having a master in life. Without him my life was like a lost kite in the sky floating without any direction or goal,lost in the unknown.He came and uncovered the dark veil of ignorance which brings misery. And gave an experience that Life is Peace ,Love and Celebration.



He said the work of a Guru is to create Confusion in a seekers life. He is not there to convince but to confuse .And that’s what lord Krishna did in Gita, he kept making Arjuna more and more confused in different chapters.

As soon as one concept is formed in our minds ,Guruji puts us in a new situation where this concept breaks. (Just when we think Oh I got it! He says not yet☺ ) And we are confused until a new concept gets formed.
Guruji said this is the way that Krishna took Arjuna from one step to the other towards perfection.

He said neither fools nor enlightened get confused. It is the intelligent who do. So if you are confused be happy,that you are intelligent.
Confusing is’nt it?

Never mind, I feel it doesn’t matter if we are intelligent or fools. Lovers are anyways called foolish. But only a lover knows what joy is in being intoxicated in love is’nt it?
And when the love is for a Satguru who showers his love and grace every moment of life ,life truly becomes a celebration.

(There were around 4000 people for Guru Poornima celebrations in Chicago today )

it is 11.45 and i am little tired with all my travelling, but these pictures of gurji,your words trying to explain the love for guruji (which is beyond words)just is enough for me. AT this moment, just this very moment of longing for him is worth lifetimes.
How will i ever thank you???
