There was a Zoom call with the newly appointed Working Committee of the Mission following that. Daaji shared his joy that our mission is on the verge of expanding exponentially. He was worried that we may not have enough resources to meet such a marvelous opportunity head-on.
Daaji suggested that going ahead we must adopt a hybrid approach, to include those who can provide volunteer services as well as full-time and part-time workers to support our spiritual activities. Whoever supports us, whichever party or leader, gets on a wavelength with their local constituents, so it is but natural that they will flock to the Mission.
We are now also gaining momentum in countries like France, the United States, Russia, and the Far East. Africa has always been on our minds since Babuji Maharaj’s time. Chariji Maharaj emphasised that we have to work though the results of the work may not be apparent for the next 50 years or so. We have to hire individuals, who are willing to go to certain countries which are safe and where there is no ongoing conflict. Let us not waste our energies in certain countries where there is a risk of any harm done to our volunteers.
This year we will be celebrating Pujya Babuji Maharaj’s birthday anniversary, it will be celebrated throughout this on special occasions like Christmas, Diwali, Pongal, Krishna Janmashtami, Dhyan Mahotsavs, Yog Mahotsavs, etc.
Whatever we do this year it should be under the aegis of Babuji Maharaj’s 125th birth anniversary year. It is best to host a three-day event and even if only a few people attend. It could be held in large corporations such as Microsoft, Cognizant, Infosys, and Apple where we can invite them to join a Heartfulness event on three specific days, at a specific time, and give sittings. There must be no talks, lectures, or any such things. It is best to keep the event only for meditation.
We could also do such events in good schools and colleges. Let’s generously invite people to subscribe to the Heartfulness magazine. It is good to begin with a few people in top positions, various corporations, schools, and colleges. Ask them if their students and employees have enrolled for the Heartfulness magazine. Once a person reads an article, that they like, they will surely want to read more.
We must remain on the lookout for good talented people who are encouraged to prepare themselves to become trainers. Some people feel shy to recommend themselves as preceptors so we have to help them overcome that inhibition or shyness. We are grateful that our mission is in this position on the verge of explosion. It will certainly expand and we have to make the most of this high tide in spirituality.
The Ex-President of India Shri Ram Nath Kovindji was here recently and he has agreed to be the chairman of the 125th anniversary celebration committee.
Soon we will form this celebration committee and commemoration committee and send out a list and invite many known people to be part of the committee. If you feel we can recognize any significant changemaker then please give them an honorary membership in the celebration committee. It is worth it even if they are very busy people, and unable to participate in the work of the committee, at least when they come here they will be able to appreciate the celebration.
After the Zoom call Daaji went back to his office to meet the people waiting for him before he went to rest.
