Kanha Shantivanam 19th November 2023

Sunday morning in Kanha was very crowded: cars parked everywhere as many routes were cordoned off, to create running trails for the Green Kanha Run event. The launch of the various runs happened in the front of the Pearl complex. The runners were all wearing blue T-shirts with their racing bibs pinned in the front. From children to youth to elders the range of participants was fun to see. The kickoff for the various races was from 5:45 in the morning for the 10kms race to 7:30 am for the 2km race. Finally, everyone settled in for meditation at 9 am well in advance as per Daaji’s counsel. It felt as if long before he actually arrived and began meditation, the atmosphere began vibrating in tune with the subsequent event of the meditation session. Very often people who visit Kanha are surprised that the entire focus here is on meditation — silent and simple.

When we plunge together in such deep meditation, it is a splendor that no other event on the planet can match. The powerful egregore which is created by the unified field of so many hearts in the reception of the transmission, which is the unique feature of Heartfulness, is a spectacle from another dimension. One who has experienced it can never forget its mark, as if etched forever on the heart’s canvas.

Post the meditation, four marriages were solemnized by Daaji in the simple Sahaj Marg tradition.

1. Induja from Chennai and Aswath from Canada

2. Soumya and Aakash from Indore

3. Ajeya from Trivandrum and Hardik from Navsari

4. Kriti from Gaya and Vaibhav from Siwan

This was followed by the awards conferred at the hands of the chief guests for the Granules Kanha Run.  Daaji delightfully patted the champions on their back to congratulate them on their performance. Nandini Agasara, a bronze medalist from the Asian Games was on stage to do the honors along with Mr. Anil Arora- President of Global Operations of Granules, and Mr. Anant Sanjeev Doogar, the Director of Nile Mile.

This was followed by Daaji’s talk continuing on the past three Sundays which is calling us to task in our personal discipline values and practice in a universally compelling way. Each one can find a mine of precious gems in those words if only we dare look those truths in the face and decide to change.
 

The morning ended with Daaji announcing the visit of the Hon’ble Prime Minister of India, Shri Narendra Modi, to Kanha Shanti Vanam the next Sunday. He said that next Sunday we all would meditate together and that many practitioners would be present to hon'ble the Prime Minister’s presence among us.
