Moments in Guruji's presence int the last few weeks

I left for bombay on 19th Feb, the evening Guruji left for germany. So He was there almost the whole time at the ashram since new year with a few gaps in between. As the yes!+ team meet got over, I went to amravati, Akola, back to bombay where he arrived on 5th march after midnight.
I remember him wading thru a narrow devotees pathway to the elevator at a Ghatkopar apartment he stayed in. He was sleepy yet smiling blessing and eye-contacting almost everyone! As always!
Next morning we rushed to the train at bandra station where He was also supposed to join. But He tricked us all! He went by flight to Surat. I came on a gifted 3-tier AC seat!( I had just bought an ordinary unreserved ticket in the last hour, not just for myself but 4 other friends.Two of them travelled 1st AC on that ticket!).
Surat was my first time on Gujarati soil. Though for some vague reason some people seem to think i am from gujarat when i meet them for the fist time. Infact many sometimes say, "Gujarat mein aapse kaha mile hein?!!!". Ok... maybe some past karma. On a more practical note I think Ramnik is also a very gujju name. But then to one fellow once i had not even told my name:-).

I think I saw Him very very happy at Surat. Like he was happy to be back home or was it the superb arrangements for mahashivratri, PDS and advance course!! Everything else was great just that his place of stay was little amusing! As bawa puts it, Gujarat meets Europe and has an accident!..It was a huge mansion that took 10 years to complete. My theory is the sindhi fellow would have run out of money building it and so it took such a long time !!
At times we would stand outside and he would wave at us from the other side of the iron-rodded boundary wall seperating us from him. he would take out his hand from between the two rods and devotees would rush to touch it! O what a beautiful site that was!!
He was into special effects even pre-mahashivratri evening! Bhava (not Bawa!) came after the rudra pooja that day. And THE day was simple one in a lifetime days for me. the place full of devotees, lakhs of them maybe. Sea of people. They started dancing at the onset of bhajans and he went into a tandava for few moments. Such powerful moments those were. I too was dancing like crazy.The whole event was a beauty beyond words.
From next day PDS started. mornings and evenings. That was the time to be sleep deprived. We stayed in a house with 60 people and 3 bathrooms between us! and still everyone was comfortable and happy!! Jigish, our gujarat teacher, and his family were at their host best!
Geeta gyan sessions in the evening were very powerful. Infact in the night after first day's session when he was meeting all the teachers he asked something which meant "tum logon ke liye ye gyan heavy ho gya tha kya?!!". Last time he gave it only to arjun. this time microphone and big-screen technology makes it possible for him to deliver it to lakhs of people in one go!
As i am writing this i have started missing him. eyes have become little watery. He is in nasik now after his bombay PDS. I have to goto punjab tomorrow.So i stayed back. Will be boarding my train tomorrow. The train goes to both chandigarh and jalandhar. I would first go to jalandhar where a very small team of just 4 people is working on Utsav. They have 800 registrations. Our target is 2000 students minimum. Chandigarh should be on 18th evening or 19th morning. Ok now. Will write more later.
Jaigurudeva!!
