Daaji spent the day with various activities, like cooking for his grandchildren and attending an event to support women financially. His lifestyle reflects the simplicity of the life of a visionary who is changing the world with his heart.
Daaji said that most worries arise out of attachment and not due to concern, the cause being overthinking. One must take things as if everything is fine.
In the morning Daaji observed a red mark on his chest at the location of Point 3 and remarked that it may be because of some spiritual work going on. The third point is related to emotions and we get caught up in them. He also shared that it had taken eight years for him to transcend the third point. When one seeker asked Daaji the way to overcome emotions, Daaji said that most worries arise out of attachment and not due to concern, the cause being overthinking. One must take things as if everything is fine. He later related an incident from Ahmedabad where after conducting a meditation once, he had found the entire upper chest red in color.
Daaji is an explorer and experimenter which we all know well by now. That this aspect covers the kitchen too was a complete surprise! Once in a while, he gets hands-on and tries new stuff. Today one could see him learning how to make a healthy and interesting snack for his grandchildren and working on it practically. He was in a happy mood and loved being the chef for them.
There was an event in the meditation hall at 5 PM in the evening, where the guest invitee was Shri Devusinh Jesingbhai Chauhan, Minister of State for Communications, Government of India. The minister arrived in Kanha around 12.30 pm and was received at The Pearl, from where he joined Daaji for lunch in his house along with Shri Ashish Bhatia, ex-DG Police Gujarat. After the lunch Daaji and Chauhan ji discussed various initiatives and how they could work together for the progress of the nation.
Mahila Samman Savings Certificate Release:
Daaji reached the meditation hall at 5 PM at the same time as the minister. As he was entering the hall, an Iranian seeker met him and shared that after having spent two weeks at Kanha, he was leaving the next morning and wanted to say bye. Daaji asked to join him for dinner later that evening.
The agenda for the event was the release of a Special Cover by India Post on the Mahila Samman Savings Certificate Special Campaign in Telangana 2023-24, where the special guests were Daaji; Shri Devusinh Chauhan, MOS for Communications Govt of India; Shri Ashish Bhatia, ex DGP Gujarat; Shri V K Jhaver, chairman Tropical Agro and other dignitaries from the Postal Department. Many representatives from the print and electronic media were also present. After the release of the special cover, the MSS certificates were distributed.
The savings certificate scheme has been launched by the government encouraging women to invest for their better financial well-being and the future of girl children. Daaji in his immense benevolence sponsored certificates for some of our community's sisters which were given to them and many other women at the event by the minister and Daaji together. Daaji was felicitated by the minister and dignitaries from the postal department.
The proceedings from Mahila Samman Savings Certificate can be viewed in below video.
In his address to the audience, the minister spoke on how he felt himself fortunate to be at Kanha in the presence of Daaji and to be a part of the legacy of Lalaji and Babuji Maharaj. He extended his support to the activities of the mission and enumerated the benefits of the Savings Certificate Scheme for all.
Daaji in his talk encouraged one and all to contribute whatever one could for the upliftment and support of women financially. He spoke of giving employment to women in one’s enterprises and always being aware in giving them what they required, not just clothes. This is a lesson to be learnt for all of us with regard to the simple act of giving itself. After his talk, he conducted a meditation session for about twenty-seven minutes after which he gave a small gift to the minister and his wife Smt Bhartiben Chauhan. After the completion of the event, Daaji along with the guests went into his office, where a Brighter Minds demo had been arranged for them. There was a discussion on a few projects followed by an interaction with the media. At the time of their send off Daaji asked them to return for a visit of at least a couple of days to explore Kanha.
Daaji felt tired after the session and returned home, where around 12 people from the ongoing meditation trainers’ training batch along with the Iranian seeker joined him for dinner. After dinner, he conducted a meditation session of about six minutes for all of them. Later, he walked to the gate to see everyone off and patiently waited until they left. This simple act showed His simplicity and love. He returned to his room to read and make his notes for the important engagement the next morning before retiring early for the day.
