[esatsang] Esatsang digest for Dec 27 2009

Samadhi happens when the cravings and aversions subside, when contentment
arises in you. If you are craving for a spiritual experience, that will be the
block for experiencing samadhi.

Subject: My first prison course

Oregon Prison SMART rocks! We hosted the US PS Coordinator last week to come
assist us in setting up an ambitious program to work every day in the prison
with the same group of inmates and staff for a year.
I am the newest person on the team: veterans Shyam, Poornima, Janardhan, Beth,
Dar and David have been doing courses at Coffee Creek Correctional Facility for
over two years.
I had no idea what to expect! I did my basic course in April 2007, and have
taken Sahaj, DSN, and Part 2 since then. I was very excited to assist in in the
prison with David and Gabriella.
We had over a dozen women in medium security start the 5 day program with us.
Over the week the women found such relief and deep experience of bliss that
their faces literally changed.
It was great working with David and Gabriella and I got a much deeper
experience of Guriji's knowledge and tecniques after assisting on the course. I
loved it! I feel empowered and grateful.I would say if you have any interest in
assisting Prison SMART, just do it! I recommend contacting Gabriella or David
for help in getting started gabriella@iahv.org, dwe108@comcast.net.
Jai Gurudev,
Shalaka

Subject: Padyatra in Kolkata(Part 2) by Swami Madhusudanji

Anugrahotsav Padyatra
in the Gracious Presence of
Swami Sri Madhusudanji

in Kolkata-(Part 2), West Bengal in Nov., 2009.


Only the Divine's chosen ones prepared for boarding the heavenly flight of
"Anugrahotsav Airlines". The pilot being none other than Swami
Madhusudanji, himself – the divine soul, sent by Guruji to reawaken faith in
all. The crew members were our own dedicated teachers and volunteers who worked
together for the devoted journeys, for days, covering the Slums of Hastings,
the Streets of Behala, Santoshpur & Barrackpore, the Village of Nadia and one
of the busiest areas of Kolkata-Howrah.

To enliven the celebration flavour of Bengal, the atmosphere reveraberated with
the beat of the Dhaks (country made drums of Bengal) & the volunteers held
placards announcing the holy beginning of the movement – Bhakti ki Lahar. The
masses felt the divinity and were spellbound by the deep experiences and the
profound love that touched them. And thereafter, all the passengers reached the
destination with a sense of fullfilment & spiritual enrichment.

No one wanting to miss this Divine chance-Santoshpur Devotion springing up
instantly.

Feeling the God sent Messiah. The disabled feeling relief in the Hastings
slums.

The streets witnessing the Presence. Ready to surrender by his one look.

Howrah- receiving blessings. The slum people overjojed.
With respect and gratitude. Noone was allowed to be missed-not even the
gamblers.
Barrackpore left in awe. Nadia village- not wanting to leave him.
A young Sportsperson shared that her right ear had been paining her
tremendously for the last three days. She had had 8 pain killers, yet
couldn't sleep, eat or speak. Just after the blessing her pain miraculously
disappeared leaving her with no words.

A young boy of 17 yrs shared that the experience left him with only Bliss and
Bliss only.

A lady in the village shared that she felt as if she has merged with him- the
Divine.

Another man in the village of Nadia felt he got a Glimpse of Divine.

A man in Howrah shared, Inspite of me being a muslim I took his blessings and
felt the peace within. I really respect Swamiji.


People of all religions coming forth. All loving it.

The angels showing themselves in this auspicious moment. All bending in respect
and gratitude in front of the Divine aura.

The aged feeling hope and security. The crowds speaking of our success!

Dhule(Maharashtra)- Awaken & Aroused in Wake Up & Shake Up by Shri Mahesh
Gireeji

Today's sunrise bought the charming members of the Art of living parivar Dhule
in hoards to Krishna Garden in the early morning mist and our no of
participants reached 600. Particpants also arrived from Dondaicha, Shahda,
Kalwan, Shirpur & Pimpalner.

A meeting of teachers and volunteers with Shri Mahesh Gireeji yesterday night
gave the first glimpse of the arrival of this most powerpacked, charismatic AOL
teacher. This meeting gave us a tinkling that Wake-up Shake-up will be highly
amazing and unique programme that Dhule will ever witness.

Arrival of Hon. Shri Mahesh Gireeji was saluted by applause from one and all.
This applause lasted for nearly 30 minutes only after that overwhelmed Mahesh
Gireeji could be felicitated. Most of us present had the first experience of
seeing a honoured ,record creator our beloved AOL teacher Mahesh Gireeji in our
own land and this filled there heart with gratitude and surprise. The
simplicity with which Maheshji accepted our applause on his arrival was
terrific and set the ball rolling for the day.

"Wake-up Shake-up" as it is a highly motivational program for teachers and
volunteers to channelize the energy in the right path and achieve there goals
in personal and social life. The simplicity with which Shri Mahesh Gireeji
explains the concepts of life and path to be followed in life is just
marvelous. The short punch lines given by him are such that participants will
not forget them for the rest of his life. Maheshji presents concepts in the
form that they can be applied straight to practical situations in ones own
life. This makes ones life more simple and useful for the society he lives in.

The most powerpacked day with Mahesh Gireeji has left most us to rekindle our
thought processes and revive our lost vigour in life. The terrific voice our
Maheshji a super achiever, orator, charismatic leader and all in one has built
a very high level of self confidence in teachers and volunteers here. We are
all looking forward to Mega Sri Sri Yoga programme with Shri Mahesh Gireeji in
Jan 2010.
