Dear Brother,
Namasthe.
Please find my report from the visit of Manasarovar.
As per your instruction through Br.Chandu I am
sending this report to you only.
I sincerely thank you for providing me with an
opportunity to attend this program. I’d like to
sincerely acknowledge with Thanks the “Loving” care
provided by Raja Sir and his family members.
With Best Regards
Ravi Prasad.
9th night:
The moment I entered the garden, the first feeling
is "Mother Earth", "Mother Nature" and with feeling
of Love towards it and a very happy feeling. I
wanted to embrace everything there: the sand, the
trees, the flowers and stones. There is a feeling of
joy and
Reverence towards Nature.
The happy feeling continued through out the night.
Did my purification, attended to point 'A'. It was a
very good feeling and I did meditation for around 2
hours in the night.
During that I felt a clear flow to the Atman point
continuously.
The feeling was dependent on the Master and the
thought that it should become my nature. Got up
again at 12:30 AM. Did meditation till 1:30. The
meditation was very deep with very subtle awareness.
10th:
3:00-4:00 AM: meditation was very peaceful and
absorbing.
Thoughts during the day:
In the garden there are wanted plants and unwanted
plants. I should nurture only the right thoughts in
my brain.
A Big fly started to revolve around me. By habit I
took out my scribbling pad to hit it. But I felt it
was telling me "I came to greet you and welcome you
to my home" and it went away. I felt sad how many
times I have hit it when it came to my home. How did
I hit it even when it did not do any harm to me.
Does the Master not love it too equally well? Then I
felt "Love Him who loves all"- All is everything in
nature, both
animate and inanimate.
As a guest I just eat what is kept and live with
what ever is provided. I remembered a sentence " We
should be like a guest in our own home". I felt I
could and should do a better job at this.
I remembered Pujya Sir saying "meditations should
not be sessions of brooding. If we are not brooding,
we are silent". What to do next. I remembered the
4th commandment and in that Him saying "we should be
connected to Him with love and devotion" and then
another daily saying" we should simply be connected
to him whose mind, senses and faculties are
thoroughly regulated".
I have decided I will just try this during the three
days.
Evening: after attending to my purification lied
down on a rock plank there and was watching the sky.
Fresh breeze, moon light and leaves shining with
that. What a blissful scenery. Then I suddenly felt
that the entire garden is being filled with the
ocean of
Bliss. I felt it to be the presence of the Master
and sat up and went into meditation again(20-25 mins).
It was a very good experience as if it was like in
Bhandara. Very light very oriented and happy from
within and after the meditation the flow was felt
towards the Atman point again.
Bed time prayer: absorbed and slept on the mat.
11th: meditation: absorbing.
Thoughts during the day:
The first thought was “the whole day yesterday was
as if in meditation”.
End of the day what all I need is some food and it
could be as simple as the raw fruits and some
shelter and it could be as simple a tree shade
When I am not talking, there is nothing to show off
as there is nothing to express / convince / argue. I
listen and wait. I have decided to look for
opportunities to be
silent at home and at work in reasonable occasions.
Most of the things can be just got away with a
simple yes/no. But how much does the ego play? I
want to be silent at least in some places.
In the evening saw some one cutting a branch. The
tree is still giving shade. Though this is not the
first time I have seen this, I felt that the tree is
determined to give shade even if it has pain. I felt
I should be determined to help others even if it
pains.
Rest of the day the thoughts are not observed/ not
remembered and it was calm everywhere
both in and out.
12th:
Meditation: absorbed and very peaceful.
Thoughts during the day:
Observed everything in Nature to be happy. God wants
us to be happy and we want to be happy and the
straight line connecting these is the method of
following the Commandments ie. Natural Path and our
System enables people to follow this easily.
It started to rain heavily outside. I came into the
hut and started to watch the rain.
Though it was showering continuously, the ground
below the tree is taking the shower intermittently.
I felt though the Master's Grace is showering on me
continuously because of the coverings of my wishes I
am taking it intermittently. in the evening I saw
some
one on the road making fun of someone else. I
started to remember all the incidents I made fun of
others/ irritated about with others behaviour and
noted all these things have come in my life too.
Did it not promote humbleness yet in me, I still
occasionally make fun of people at least internally.
I have determined to Revere all from now on.
I was sitting in meditation and I suddenly felt a
field of Master’s love beside me and I opened my
eyes to look there and Br. Raja Sir was sitting
there. As long as he was sitting there I felt some
intense motherly love in me too.
