Kanha Shantivanam 19th April 2023

On the eve of Mahasamadhi Day of Pujya Babuji Maharaj,Daaji awoke and practised yoga asanas with his grandson. After the meditation, he met a few people in his office, including CA Harikishan Rankawar, Chairman ICAI Dubai Chapter NPIO, who invited Daaji for a conference in Dubai. Also, Daaji discussed a scheme to get funding to breed cows in Kanha with the guests in Kanha Sarovar.

Daaji spotted a young sister standing by the side and immediately asked her if she was married. He was informed that he had sent a few marriage proposals to her, all of which had been turned down by her father. Daaji then firmly said that now the family needed to look for a match on their own without his intervention, as there seemed to be no use in his efforts. It is imperative for all of us to respect his time and attention as practitioners and accept his suggestions and directions with all our hearts. He met more seekers and patiently listened to all of them.
Daaji awoke by 7 a.m. and prepared to practise yoga asanas. While doing yoga, his grandson Nanak joined and started doing the asanas along with him. Daaji asked Nanak to help him stretch, and Nanak quickly came to help him stretch his arms. Gently involving the little child in yoga was a perfect example of the wisdom bridge; there is truly much to learn for us all!
After his bath, he offered prasad on the occasion and distributed it to all present. He then announced that he would conduct group meditation in the meditation hall at 9 a.m. By this time, his granddaughter Laya, who had been asleep at the time of offering prasad, had woken up and came to meet him. He lovingly called her to give Prasad. While giving it to her, he gently told her that it was "the day Babuji met Lalaji in full form". The way we explain the essence of our tradition in such a simple and subtle manner is something we can all imbibe. He truly shows us how to live a life through these little nuances of day-to-day life.
He arrived at the meditation hall and conducted meditation for 30 minutes. After the meditation, he met a few people in his office, including CA Harikishan Rankawar, Chairman ICAI Dubai Chapter NPIO, who invited Daaji for a conference on December 10 in Dubai. Daaji asked the gentleman if it was worth coming all the way for the conference, as every moment of his time is invaluable and precious, and he provisionally accepted the invitation. Daaji then spotted a young sister standing by the side and immediately asked her if she was married. He was informed that he had sent a few marriage proposals to her, all of which had been turned down by her father. Daaji then firmly said that now the family needed to look for a match on their own without his intervention, as there seemed to be no use in his efforts. It is imperative for all of us to respect his time and attention as practitioners and accept his suggestions and directions with all our hearts. He met more seekers and patiently listened to all of them.   As he came down the steps towards his car, an elderly sister in a wheelchair who had been eagerly awaiting him opened her arms for a hug. Daaji stopped affectionately, returned the hug, and poured his love into her simple heart. One could see and feel how joyful hearts attract his grace.
That evening, Daaji went to Kanha Sarovar with his grandchildren. Seeing the heat there, he sent the little children back home. Among the guests who came there that evening were Shri Somesh Kumar IAS, High Court of Telangana Legal Services Secretary, and Administrator. Also present was Shri Tiwary, PS for Shri Parshottam Rupala, Hon’ble Union Minister. Among the various points discussed, there was a scheme to get funding to breed cows in Kanha, with the outcome being to ensure that the finest breeds of cows are given to everyone. A suggestion was given for better irrigation and water reservoirs to be elevated to facilitate the easier flow of water to fields. Also discussed was the Malabar neem tree, and Daaji guided some practitioners to try extracting oil from the neem seeds to use as an insecticide. Daaji then took the guests home for dinner. Over dinner, the discussion continued on water bodies and irrigation techniques that could be implemented in Ratlam and other places in the country for the benefit of farmers. Daaji presented Shri Tiwary with the book The Wisdom Bridge after dinner. His discussion with the guests concluded beyond half past ten that day.
