Sri Sri Mahatmyam- Series Part 8


The two magical words gifted to us

My childhood was spent watching lot of programs in DD1(which was the only channel in India then). Recollect watching Rangoli, chitrahaar, Malgudi days, mungerilal ke haseen sapne, Dekh Bhai Dekh, Chandrakanta, Vikram Betal,Byomkesh Bakshi,Ramayan, Mahabharat, Shakthimaan, Aladdin...to name a few :)

Every program had its own twist and turn. Some of the TV programs were motivation to finish the daily homework on time. In the program Aladdin, The guy named, Aladdin had a magic lamp. When lamp is touched, a 'Gin' would come out and ask if you want any wishes to be granted. I found the 'Gin' so fascinating. Wouldn't it be amazing to have such a lamp in the real life. Well, every Art of Living person is gifted with one by Sri Sri. And it is just by uttering two magical words, 'Jai Gurudev' . By uttering these two words, your small mind becomes quiet and thinks like the bigger mind(The bigger consciousness). And little complaints and silly chattering in the mind disappears instantly.

One of the senior teacher of the Art of Living Foundation, Neha Didi had said when you are confused or in trouble just say, 'Jai Gurudev'. And see how the magic works. There was a time when one of the volunteer had to give me tickets of a musical show of Vikram Bhaiyya. That day it was raining heavily and he was apprehensive to travel on a bike. He uttered, 'Jai Gurudev!' and lo...the pouring rain stopped. We talk about saints who have great sidhdhis(powers), here normal person like you and me are gifted with powers to shake the world. It was as though the entire world in under your control. He was amazed at the timing. The faith with which you utter off course do matter.


May you bask in devotion this week, Jai Gurudev!
