Dude n Dudette of the Month!

Team; here is starting a new practice! Every month, we will have a ‘Dude of the Month’, and a ‘Dudette of the Month’! These are people who have done something really cool in the month, either in the AOL world or their personal/professional lives!

This month, The ‘Dude of the Month’ is RAGHAV and the ‘Dudette of the Month’ is Aditi!!! (yayyyy!! Cheers!! Claps!!!)

DUDE OF THE MONTH: RAGHAV AGARWAL:


We all know how cool our Bhaiya from UP (Khatauli to be precise) is! He has been with us for almost 2 years now, and it has been amazing to see him transform to his current avatar!

Raghav is the Dude of the Month, because for the 18th March course, he got the highest number of registrations from our zone!! (yayyyy!! Cheers!! Claps!!!). And, he did this while excelling at his work place also! For those of you who don’t know, Raghav works for one of India’s best software/IT companies called Directi, and amongst his peers, holds the record for the highest paid employee in Directi for his category! And although our hero has informed his manager that he wants to work for the best Boss in the world (Guruji of course), he keeps getting promotions at his office also! In fact he was recently offered a “Project Lead” role, something which is only offered to very experienced people, and is a Big Deal!


The reason for his success both in YES!+ and his professional life is a secret we all know very well – but seldom apply. It’s the ultimate trident – the Seva, Sadhna, Satsang formula!! And of course one thing I really like about him – a quality so so rare to be found in our team – Punctuality!  There are many other amazing qualities he has, but I will leave it for you to know him more and discover them!

I am sure he will go a long way in his life, and will do all of us proud! We will wait for the day he starts teaching this knowledge and reaches out to millions with this wisdom!!

JAI HO!



DUDETTE OF THE MONTH: ADITI RAWAT:




Have you observed a quiet shy girl who slips in and out of kriya and satsang every Thursday and Sunday?! You won’t find her talking much or socializing, but in the silence of her presence, is a loud sound of success!

Aditi Rawat is the Dudette of the Month because, out of hundreds of TFI (Teach for India) teachers throughout the country, she has been selected to represent TFI in New York, and has won herself a fully sponsored trip to New York for this prestigious conference!! (yayyyy!! Cheers!! Claps!!!).



For all of us comes a day, when we have to decide what we are going to make of our lives! What after graduation? Aditi had many options after her degree from St.Xaviers. Like her friends she could have picked up lucrative options like going abroad to study, or a glamorous corporate job! But she chose to spread the light of education in some of the darkest homes in our city! She chose to teach the under-privileged toddlers so that one day they can get rid of this label ‘under-privileged’!

I think we are really privileged to have people like Aditi in our city!

At her school, she also organized a free ‘Bal Chetna Shibir’ [The Art Of Living kids course taught free for poorer sections of the society] for all the students of her class, and is committed to bringing more people to Guruji’s knowledge in her own unique way!!

We wish her all the best at the conference in New York! Go Shine NYC~!
JAI HO!


Love n Jai Gurudev,
Virat n Vasudha
PS: People, you need to share with us anything cool which you did, so that you may become the next ‘Dude’ and ‘Dudette’ of the month!  You can also nominate others!

I was talking to my brother today and telling him how inspired I feel working with a group of highly enthusiastic,charged and committed youngsters. Siddharth often says when he sees you all at home,these youth are hope for our country.
Aditi and Raghav WELL DONE..may you cross many such milestones and make our country proud.
PS:For the many reading this post we have one of the most eligible bachelors and spinsters in our team.such youth are surely rare and in short supply in today's times. You can email me your BIOs and we will surely consider you:)

This is so amazing...100 times Better than winning any other award.Raghav, our cute meditator has always inspired me for volunteering and has been available whenever v call him for intro talks,even if it means leaving his office early or not going to work at all(which i think he loves doin.). Aditi really rocks.Best of luck for ur New York trip..I am so lucky to be a part of this team.

Dhir Shah said...

You deserve a Salute Raghav and Aditi!! This is so inspiring.. Congratulations!!! Love you guys.. Jai Gurudev :)

Aditi Rawat said...

Dear All,

A big thankyou for everything.I would like to mention tht "I AM NOT THE DOER!"I think I am really lucky to have so such wonderful people in life who have inspired me in so many ways and so many times!

Recently I witnessed the most difficult phase in my journey so far...
I made mistakes.I felt the pinch.The pinch created an awareness which inturn made me surrender.And this surrender made me free from guilt :)

At that time, I just had my Sadhna and my faith in HIM. And this faith has given me so much comfort or should I say "instant comfort?"

Honestly this faith has taken me beyond limitations..

Its HIS Grace :)

Jai Guru Deva!

@vasudi
The matrimonial ad was superb!When U say "one of the most eligible bachelors", U mean the AUTHOR OF THIS POST right?- Mr Chirania :p

Hi! Raghav, Great Going dada! Have known you, ever since you got the first course done in your hometown. The shy and humble demeanor could not hide the golden spark within and how it glows today! A beacon to behold! You've come a long way indeed, with many a milestone more to cover. Wishing you all the VERY BEST. Lots of luv.

Aditi, wonder if you know me, I've read almost all your writing and felt inspired. Being a teacher myself, I can identify the feelings you have for 'your kids'. Teaching is indeed the noblest of professions. TFI is a project very close to my heart. You've done marvelously! Keep inspiring. Lots of love and best wishes.
