This life has become a BLESSING .
Finally, Modi government withdraws memorandum first issued in 1966 barring government servants from participating in activities of the RSS.
This bar was purely political and arbitrary.
Former PM Indira Gandhi herself once reportedly reached out to the RSS in February 1977 offering to lift the ban on the group in exchange for their support for her election campaign.
If this wasn't hypocritical then try this. A few years ago it was revealed that bureaucrats with links to separatist organizations like the Hurriyat Conference were not just flourishing but actively carving out policies at behest of J&K state administrations!
Guru Purnima Message by Gurudev @SriSri Ravi Shankar ji from The @ArtofLiving Boone Ashram USA on 21 July 2024
Guru is the power. Guru is the principle. Guru is not a person. Guru is the energy.
It is easy to be a saint. A saint is one who does not want anything. (They are) engaged in one's own sadhana. But to be Guru is something much different than just being a saint. How?
Guru is more than Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesh. There are some who can only create. They cannot maintain; they cannot manage it. Creative impulse is different, but managing it is very different. And there are others who only manage. Managers only manage. They don't create anything. And there are others who destroy; they only bring transformation. If all the three things come together - you create, you maintain, and you bring transformation - that is the power of the Guru. All three together is Guru and that is not separate from you, away from you. It is your own. That is why you have to feel (that) like you feel the breath. You know air is all around you, you don't feel it unless you put attention on it. Similarly, Guru Purnima is the day to feel the connection and gratefulness. And that takes us forward. Guru relieves us of all the sorrows, joy wells up, knowledge dawns, talents blossom. All these qualities simply happen in the presence of the Guru. Guru doesn't need to speak. But today there are people all over the world who are watching. For their sake I said a few words.
You all have a lot of blessings. Today you should remember and recollect and rejoice that you are blessed.
One more thing. Guru is always young. The legend goes this way that under the Banyan tree the young Guru sits quiet and the old disciples... Disciples should be old that means for a long time you have been doing (your practices). Banyan tree means the planet Earth, the world of five elements. All the doubts of the old disciples vanished. The Guru gave his speech in silence and disciple's questions disappeared. That's what is happening, right? Good.
