HE CAME. HE SANG. HE CONQUERED.
Conquered what?
Evil, vice and of course the hearts of millions around the world, who immersed live in the experience of celebrating Lord Krishna's blessings.
South Africans are a very lucky race in that they received the grace first hand from Baba ji on a very special day for pious devotees and spiritual practitioners around the world.
In his two-odd hour spellbinding divine act, Baba ji weaved one marvelous bhajan after the other in his heavenly voice. Each bhajan was preceded by a brief sermon, laced with mythological anecdotes and their significance in our lives. Every consequent divine melody raised the cockles of the heart of all those lucky enough to experience it. Baba ji made the crescendo of each celestial offering touch hearts like only he can.
He also spoke in detail how the characters in the epic Mahabharat are symbolic of the traits in us. From Dhitrashtra to Kans, from Shakuni to Gopis, all protagonists whom Lord Krishna had a huge influence on, are metaphors for the tendencies within us.
Harping on the need to shun the traditions of the West, he said the urgency was maximum at this point in time to embrace indigenous culture and heritage. He called for Janmashtami rather than Valentine's Day to be celebrated as the day of unconditional love. He urged all the seekers to love their spouse, their children and their parents.
The special love for children manifested in the form of an appeal to all the parents to let children be playfully naughty and mischievous as it was their way of blossoming, adding jokingly that such impish acts if curtailed, would manifest in old age, which won't make for too good a proposition.
Baba ji also presented a unique account of his resilience, resurgence and indomitable fighting spirit by narrating of a difficulty which had happily set foot on a holiday. How appreciably blithe is Baba ji's spirit. How cheerfully he handles any kind of odd in life. Huge lesson.
By the end of the event it seemed Lord Krishna had entered the spirit of Baba ji and held fort the strings of consciousness of all the seekers.
Baba ji is wonderful. So are his ways. So are his beloved children.
GRATITUDE! GRATITUDE! GRATITUDE!
