DELICIOUS & HYGIENIC BHANDARA
The
Bhandara or Prasad at Singapore is quite famous for its delicious flavour. When
dug deeper, it came to be known that the small but devoted & efficient
Organising Sewa team had dedicated members who also tasted the food of the
caterer with all their taste buds fully opened to test the flavour &
quality of ingredients. Lessons for all the Sewa teams in enhancing the quality
& preparation of Bhandara at their
shivirs.
PUNCTUALITY
If
the allotted time of the break was one hour, all the sadhaks used to be seated
15 minutes before the start. Members of the Sewa team were deployed to make
announcements in the corridors about 15 minutes prior to the start time of the
shivir, another lesson for those attending & those organising. And the hall
was not a place to engage in idle gossip, chanting substituted chatter.
BE IN A LINE
In
another act of impeccable discipline, a great deal of important was given to
standing in queue, be it for the washroom, food, divine shop or for any other
activity. No one broke lines & everyone ensured that rules were respected, another
beautiful lesson.
PURE INTENTION, MORE GRACE
Sadhaks
attended the shivir with the sole intention of releasing the negative emotions
& habits rather than passing time. Seeing their willingness to grow &
resolve to heal themselves, Baba ji rewarded this sincerity by personal
emotional release on mic & ensuring the lessons from the individual release
were learnt by all.
BONHOMIE WITH A SIDDHA
Baba
ji provided an outlet to all the sadhaks in the former of personal meets in
country batches. He heard out all sadhaks from a particular country during the
break time & it made it that much easier for Baba ji to understand their
psyche & behaviour patterns & effect a powerful healing on all.
UNINHIBITED SANKIRTAN
The sadhaks
never really cared too much about what others might think of them or judge them
if they sing. So what came out were not musical vibrations but the deepest
feelings from the core of the heart, striking an instant cord with Baba ji. The
Siddha himself said that he will be singing a few of the unique bhajans sang here
in the next shivirs. He is listening to those songs in the taped recordings so
that he can deliver them in an even better way. Kudos to the fantastic sadhak
singers.
This
photograph was captured when the sadhaks were singing the bhajan Amma Pamreshwari.
The rhythm was so divine that Baba ji instantly went into a trance and the
shower of blessings began automatically the moment he sat, even before he could
speak a word. It sums up the strong vibes which positively influenced Baba ji's
mood.
AN ENCORE
A
plethora of factors, some of them mentioned above, combined to make Baba ji so
spiritually satisfied that he committed to an advanced healing programme next
December in Singapore. A lesson for all the regions looking to get Baba ji to
shower higher grace.
HOSPITALITY
Anyone
can present an impeccable picture of hospitality & service by serving Baba
ji wonderfully. But very few can earn the tag of being genuinely compassionate
and ensure that the warmth as extended to Baba ji is provided for all the
sadhaks at the shivirs as the Sewa team in Singapore did so beautifully. At the
end of the shivir, sadhaks hugged and thanked the organiser, and the brilliant
Sewa Team who had the knack of springing a rabbit out of the hat, just when one
thought they are in doldrums.
YOUNG SEWA TEAM
Baba
ji has always maintained that till the time one has energy, one is youthful.
The Singapore Sewa team is purely driven by the young & energetic. They
have the uncanny knack of being highly resourceful & getting things done at
a very short notice in a country like Singapore where things are done in a
scheduled way & it is difficult to avail a service such as printing a
poster in 24 hours.
HUMILITY
All
said & done, the clockwork efficiency of the Singapore Sewa Team, most of
all its organiser, did not deter the Shiv Yogi in them to dedicate all their
service at the feet of the Guru. Of course there was pride that such an
advanced shivir was assigned to their country but no ego to boot.
And
it isn't as if they did not receive anything for their relentless perseverance
and unstinting efforts. The blessings and love of Baba ji and the sadhaks are
with them. They have the grace of God on them and with that, the ability to
become world beaters.
