Guest guest Report post Posted May 10, 2001 Hi Ashishji Happy Birthday and May you be cherished with Param Pujya Guru Dev's blessings and reach the place he had made for you. We are all extensions of Pujya Sat Guru Dev for more than 25 lives as He had put part of is Pran into our beings and He is waiting for us to start acting so that we merge back with him. As for your Birthday Gift here is a true story of mine - How I got to his feet for blessing. I am born to an orthodox Hindu Family with a lot of devotion and Sadhana. My Grandpa passed away without ever consuming Onion/Garlic/Tomato. My parents always started their day at 4 am in the morning, did Puja till am before going to work. My father donated part of hour house for Satsang for months provided with food shelter and gathering place for daily Puja for months. Many Hindu saints used to come and spend their time there. One Rakchya Bandhan Day I was so rebellious for (age factor) I refused to change my Janeu without getting full explanation from my father - Why should I wear this thread. Getting no good explanation I stopped wearing one from then and drifted to study Buddhism. By the time I graduated from University I went to an Ashram run by Buddhist Monks stayed there for 13 months until I was asked to leave the place to lead a normal life. For twenty years after that I was still in search of someone who could explain to me what is their meaning of life and birth. After my early retirement from service I met a Gurubhai at his office. He as wearing a Rudrakchya Mala and I loathed at him for being so much showy. He made me Mantra Tantra Yantra in January 1997. He made me take Photo Dikchya from Pujya Guru Dev. I was slowly getting to get glimpses of True Knowledge and one day he offered me a book. It was Kundalini Nad Brahma. I was began to be convinced the He could be the person I ahve been looking for. October that year Pujya Guru Dev had asked Nepali Guru Bhais to join Deepawali Shivir minimum 150 in numbers and He would give them opportunity to host a Shivir in Nepal. With the hope that we will get a shivir the Guru Bhais organized for 152 people to join Jodhpur Dham. I was one of them. On the way to Jodhpur we were traveling on the train and every one was wishing each other Jaya Guru Dev and you know what I said to them, I said I feel awkward to wish Jaya Guru Dev but I will say Namaste in return and no one should mind about it. Every one but one Guru Bhai agreed. This Guru Bhai was very upset to find me not devoted to Guru Dev and challenged me and asked what would make me devote to Guru Dev? I said to him if Guru Dev can prove the relation between each electron in all the matters and explain what makes them go on the same path (deviation causes explosion) I will fully trust Guru Dev. I thought I was a Tis Mar Khan by saying that........ On the first day at the Shivir I got the answer publicly through Paalji who was giving speech on Yoga. Now I am trying to be a good disciple of Pram Pujya Guru Dev. Jaya Jaya Jaya Guru DEv. Happy Birthday and many Returns of the Day!!!! bishnu. Global Medicine Pvt. Ltd., 3/555 Harihar BhavanP. O.
