Kanha Shanti Vanam 7th September 2024

Daaji started his day in the early hours, around 4 am. He spent the quiet hours working on his upcoming book, immersed in thoughts and reflections. After a couple of hours, he returned to bed at 6:30 am for some rest. By 9 am, he was ready to start his day. After breakfast, he rested for a while on the large indoor swing, a familiar sight in traditional Gujarati homes, and was soon joined by his grandchildren. Their laughter filled the morning with joy as they played with their beloved dada (grandfather).

At 11:30 am, Daaji returned to the auditorium for another session with the Vice Chancellors of Agricultural Universities on the second day of their conference. Daaji conducted meditation for all present and later answered several questions posed by the attendees.  

Later, Daaji asked one of his guests whether he had seen the new Kanha Global School. They took a leisurely drive around it, as the school was closed for the day. During the drive, the guest shared an interesting idea, mentioning that he knew an artist who could carve the Deccan Plateau's massive rocks into beautiful animal sculptures. Daaji, always open to creativity and enhancing the environment with meaning, suggested that the artist visit Kanha to explore the possibilities.

After lunch, Daaji spent some time in his office and also met with functionaries.

After a restful afternoon, Daaji went for a short walk, a routine he enjoys – connecting with nature and quiet introspection. At 7:30 pm, a few dinner guests arrived, and after sharing the meal, Daaji made his way to the meditation hall where he was to lead the virtual ‘Dil Se with Daaji’ program for the National Youth Seminar participants from Seattle, USA. Even across great distances, the thread of Heartfulness united them, as Daaji’s guidance and presence brought a sense of closeness and inspiration to all watching the program online. Daaji conducted a meditation session before leaving for home.
