Its close to nine years now having been in Bangalore Ashram and refleting
upon the yester years, it leaves me spellbound on the journeys transcended

Functionaries etc.

this could be achieved. Am truly indebted for being with me, and enabling my
growth holistically in every manner.

Subject: SSRVM--CHENNAI
Nada Vaibhavam was a great opportunity for Seva
for all of us. One year later, another unique opportunity is coming our
way.****
A year back, Guruji performed the Bhoomi Pooja for the
SSRVM school at Chennai. This is to come up on the land donated to the
Trust. During His visit, Guruji desired that, in a metro like ours, we
should be building a much larger school with state of art features in the
lines of Sri Sri Academy that is already operational in Kolkatta and being
planned in a few other cities.****
Some ground work has been done on this and we are now ready
to start full fledged work on this Project of Guruji.****
The project will provide lots of opportunity for seva work in
areas like:***
**. **Project supervision,****
**. **Fund raising,****
**. **Academics,****
**. **Finance,****
**. **Marketing, etc.****
The first kick off meeting, for Project
School is scheduled on February 19th between 4 and 6 pm. **** The venue:****
Bala Mandir Primary School,****
(next to German Hall)****
18, Prakasam Road.****
We will start with a Guru Puja.****
We request all volunteers to attend this Seva meeting and
participate in this wonderful opportunity Guruji has given us.****
We also request all teachers to announce this seva project in the
forthcoming follow up sessions and mobilize large number of volunteers from
each centre.

Subject: To Share.... THE GURU
God and Guru are in tenet not different. Just as the prey that has fallen
into the jaws of a tiger cannot escape, so those who have come under the
glance of the Guru's grace will surely be saved and will never be forsaken;
yet one should follow without fail the path shown by the Guru.
There are no disciples but from the point of view of the disciple the grace
of the Guru is like the ocean. If the disciple comes with a cup he will only
get a cupful. It is no use complaining of the niggardliness of the ocean;
the bigger the vessel the more he will be able to carry. It is entirely up
to him.
The term Guru is often loosely used to describe anyone who gives out
spiritual advice, but the word has a much more restricted definition. A True
Guru is someone who has realised the Self and who is able to use his power
to assist others towards the goal of Self-realisation.
It's often said that God, Guru and the Self are identical; the Guru is God
in human form and, simultaneously, he is also the Self in the Heart of each
devotee. Because he is both inside and outside, his powers work in two
different ways. The outer Guru gives instructions and by his power enables
the devotee to keep his attention on the Self; the inner Guru pulls the
devotee's mind back to its source, absorbs it in the Self and finally
destroys it.
It is a basic tenet is that a Guru is necessary for almost everyone who is
striving towards a permanent awareness of the Self. The catalytic role of
the Guru in spiritual development is therefore crucial; except in rare
instances, ignorance of the Self is so deeply rooted that individual seekers
are unable to escape from it by their own efforts.
Although a Guru is indispensable for those seeking Self-realisation, the
Guru has no power to bring about realisation in those who are not
energetically seeking it. If the individual seeker makes a serious attempt
to discover the Self, then the grace and power of the Guru will
automatically start to flow. If no such attempt is made, the Guru is
helpless.
