Crazy Pri....

I'm standing on the huge rock in the middle of sea...

It has many views....trapped or isolated or being happy in the middle.

Life is complicated enough to teach me the art of living...learnt from experiences and from lovely people who enlighted my soul to discover this new face of Priya. She doesn't have color, no religion, no caste, no enemies,...only full of love.

Life is full of riddles and those riddles will get solve on the right time of our life. Doors are closed we will hear the knock on the door and what we need to do? Just open it in full swing and smile on face. 

What I have to do is take a boat or swim till I reach my destination. And, what is my destination? Being happy, keeping others happy, spreading love and be with divine. 

One fine day, I'll definitely reach there!!

Cheers!!

Expressing Myself!!

When someone ask you about tell me about you?? What do you answer?? If someone is praising you, How do you react?? Do you feel proud or shy?? If someone is talking behind your back how do you react?? Angry or Upset or something else??

Few of us, always face such problems, that is quite common because, people don't know how to react and they never been told how to react since childhood, nobody taught them. 

Few years back I was also one of them, I was tiger at home and cat outside, though I was not shy still I was not comfortable being with strangers and don't know how to ease myself while talking to them. Because, I was firm into my own limits, my own world and didn't want some manny wanny to enter into my world. But, when I joined my first Basic course at Art of living, unknowingly I entered into that world. When you be with Guruji automatically your limitations starts to dissolve, and you become part of one world.

Now, if someone is going to ask me those questions, I do have great answers for all of them. Now I know how to ease myself, how to be part of each circle and frankly I'm loving it!!

Life begins at the end of your comfort zone!!

Secrets Of Marriage

I'm not an expert in such complicated relationship, which is called, "Marriage". 

But, sooner I'll get marry, being Indian, I've to go through Arrange marriage process. Arrange marriage is type of traditional way of getting life partner, basically it involves families and it's typical match making by Family. 

When I started meeting guys for marriage, I felt it is really difficult to decide whether to marry a guy who is complete stranger to me.

Being in Big Joint Family, had a lot of suggestions what to do and what to do not...Eventually, met Guruji during yes+ and heard knowledge about so many things. During sasang, lady asked about secrets of marriage. Guruji explained it with an ease, and I've cleared all those bombarding thoughts within a minute. And, today I want to share that knowledge with you all.

Secrets of marriage has some rules which are,

Wife should never crushed her husband's ego, she should always pamper his ego though he is an idiot in front of entire world. Though practically sometimes it feels difficult to attempt, but when you take help of meditation and accept all the goodness resides him, you'll eventually become calm, cool and confident, it'll certainly helps in happy prosperous marriage.

Now, for husband, never hurt your wife's emotion. Managing emotions can bring you happy and cheerful marriage, if you go against it, you know how disastrous it can be? Ain't you? 

Next thing, never ask for proof of love from your partner. Generally we tend to ask, "Do you love me?" Do you love me when I'll get fat or thin or old?" 

Just stop doing all these things, take it for granted that your partner loves you a lot. In fact you can ask, "Why you love me so much?" And see the magic of unconditional love. Even if spring has died, it will start again.

Last thing, relationship should be like parallel lines, why?? These parallel lines are nothing but husband and wife. Just like these lines, we should have our personal goals and combined goals towards society, family, etc.

Because, giving your partner space, respecting their goals and sharing mutual goals brings them more closer and just like parallel lines move together until infinity. 

Just be cool into meditation and follow the right path, feel the music within yourself, then you'll never have any problem regards those getting ready late, too much of shopping, talking to girls or guys, and so many silly things...

To My Teddy Bear...

On this Valentine's week, I didn't get any roses and teddy. I felt oh not again, that night Guruji became my teddy bear!! I am so happy now I have my teddy bear!! :D

Dedicating to my beloved Guruji!! 

I was standing alone

   with train noises

no one waited for me,

I was tired

   with luggage of my pride

no one care to see it,

I was angry

   with my life

no one loved me ever,

I was crying

   with my insecurities to loose me

no one heard me to protect,

I was dying

  with my mistakes

no one bothered to know them,

I was still

   with tears in my eyes

you hold me with your bliss,

I was & I am happy

   with my life

you became my teddy bear for whole life.

Entering into new family of Art of living!

Entry into Family of Art of living was easy for me, actually I never wanted to be in it. It just happened because of Guruji's grace and How did that happen.....

When  my mom and brother first approached me to do Art of living course my first honest and frank reply was, "What's wrong with you people, I'm young, this is not age for all of this, I'm not going to do it...." But, you know how mothers are?? 

Early morning at 5 she used to wake me up...that was very frustrating  because course timing was at 6 AM. Just, because of my annoying brother I had to say yes. Those were winter days...and it was adding more fuss into it. When I reached at the hall, first thing I had noticed picture of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar! First thing pop up into my mind was, "OMG!! Where the hell I ended ?" Class was full of elderly people. Only three of us were youngsters and that made the situation worst. Few guys come guided us to do warm up, then Dalvi Sir came taught us how to do Yoga and Pranayam. Suryanamskar!! I did everything with unpleasant mind. Then a lady came, she sat near to Sri Sri's picture. She gave us intro, her name was Rajshree Patil. She was looking like a beautiful painting, I wondered how can she's so beautiful? Her voice was so sweet that I forgot about my awakardness. In fact during intro she told us to call her Di. She told us a reason why we should call her Di?Because AOL (Art of Living) is family and we never call our sisters as Madam or Mam. Same is applicable to brothers, so we call them Bhaiya. I started calling her Rajdi. 

Still, I was young and I was not open about this AOL thing, first day passed, second too...I followed all their instructions. All those knowledge talks were entering into one ear and passing out from other. Or, fly like aeroplane over the head. Meditation, I never understood it in first place, "Oh!!what will be in the breakfast? What should I wear today? Oh god! I'm so dead, project is still pending? Where we all going after college? When this will be over?? Oh!! she is not saying anything about opening eye?? Why the hell I said yes to this stupid course!!........." (many more thoughts, some are censored and some are hilarious like why can't I just shout.) First word came into my mind about Meditation was "Crap".

I heard alot about the Sudarshan Kriya!! And I wanted to see what exactly it is? When I took this flight of kriya, I was speechless, thrilled, shocked, in fact I was blank for sometime without worries, thoughts. I was just me, I was enjoying being me. I couldn't understand what exactly it was? Being science student, I had the tendency to question and to prove. But, that day I had realised, there are things in this world, that has to be feel, and science can't reach everywhere. 

In childhood I always hated long beard and moustache guys, I never allowed my father to grow his moustache. Why I'm mentioning this, because I just remmber some lines of Guruji, "It's easy to love someone whom you like or love but, to love whom you hate is an Art of living."

Jai Gurudev!!

Life After Mumbai

5 years of Mumbaiyya life made me Tough, blunt  and moreover completely opposite of me. Mumbai city of dreams, city of new births dragged me towards it after my graduation. You guys must be confused why I'm talking about this. Lets go into a bit of flash back.

Being in Maharashtrian family, I had been always taught how to respect others and how to kill our own desires, wishes, overall how to become Unhappy!! Shy!! Quiet!! Though all Indian families taught this to their daughters only!!

My journey towards being sick bookworm started at the age of may be 10. Sometimes I used to think like, " its better to be in darkness rather going into the truth of light." But sooner with God's grace darkness started disappearing and when I opened my heart towards light of happiness, I realised that, that's what I want!!

Struggle to get out of frog's pond...because I wanted to see ocean!! When I reached up to ocean, I was scared what if I die? what if I lost? Because, I was all alone. But, I didn't die, I survived, I crossed miles... I rested near the heaven, I learnt a lot, how to survive? How to be me? How to love myself? How to be happy within?

I met lot of new faces just like me, some made me happy, joyful and some made me sad, miserable. Thanks to all of them, who made my journey interesting and happening!!

When I posted on Facebook Bye Bye Mumbai..last year during July...Few wonder and commented, wishes, anger, few directly called scolded me like if I'll never meet or come back again. Felt a bit sad that I left such peaceful city which is full of traffic, pollution, misery,...still I miss all of that... I miss Mumbai...First time at marine drives with my room mates in the middle of night, full on dhamal at juhu with friends, making funny cartoon voices in the maac's premises, fights with strangers, cold shoulders with friends, first date, late night movies, whistling during movies, singing loud at marines, laughing like witches, unplanned pizza parties, surprised birthday parties, and many more......

One of my best pal, dropped me and my huge luggage at my home town  when i saw my entire luggage in my bedroom i felt relief, "I'm Home".

Home was not so easy after 5 so called years, when lion tastes a blood he wants more...and that exactly happened to me. I again closed all the wings, windows, doors, to stop that light. I again made a mistake of digging into past. Then, again with God's grace my brain and mind ended up in doing sane things, study and most important thing of my life is Art Of Living.

When we are surrounded by negative thoughts we automatically attract more negativity in our life. Like come on baby, kill me!! And trust me it will kill you like dead meat!

Met amazing people during my Yes+ course, had a whole bunch of friends, sharing each others world's and moulding them into one is tact and i learnt it here. I had realised life is a gift and we have to cherish it, and this gift is covered with many colourful papers, that's why we have to open it with care, love and respect. Guruji made it so easy to understand by letting me meet Nikhil bhaiya!! 

I felt I had lost, made a wrong choice...but that was the one right choice...it means to be happened...To meet my Magicians!!

Jai Gurudev!!
