Come Let's Meet one of the Dynamic Guru Devotee...Man Who Dared To Make the Guru's Vision a Reality

An Interesting Devotee

Mahesh Giriji: Born in Nasik, MaheshGiriji as a young boy of 16 ran away from home and accompanied a Himalayan Swami and thus began his Spiritual Journey. At 25 he became the Peethadheesh (The Head) of Guru Dattatrya Peeth at Girnar in Gujarath. Millions of devotees come to this holy place every year.
In 2002 he met out dear Guruji Poojya Sri Sri Ravishankar and instantly felt enchanted and realised his long search has finally ended. Guruji told him that Swamiji was here in this planet for a very special Cause.He is now an Art of Living Teacher and his USP is organzing & conducting Mega courses; it began in 1000s and now it has reached lakhs....wow man. He is a true source of inspiration to every Guru devotee. When Guruji met him and they spoke about Gurudev's vision for the world i.e "A One world Family through Sangachattvam", Gurudev said that 'I was ready to give it, but there was no one who was ready to recieve it, to make it a breathing reality'. And Maheshgiriji was the only one who could dare to walk the masters words.

Today I was a witness to an absolutely eye opening and thought provoking session conducted by Maheshgiriji in Thane. He is one devotee I have met who is so damn clear about Guruji’s vision and so confident about making the impossible very much possible. His commitment, devotion, passion, dynamism, enthusiasm, conviction, love and integrity towards Gurudev is a benchmark for each one of us. Our beloved Gurudev’s Vision is to see a new India (A New Bharat) by 2014 free of crime, voilence, stress, corruption, pollution, etc but Maheshgiri believes that if we all get together through Sangachatvam we can make Gurudev’s vision come true by 2012 and Gift Guruji a New Bharat that he had dreamt of by creating a Divine society. But how? Now this is a million dollar question to which here are the answers.

For example: The current situation of Mumbai especially after the blasts is like less said the better. All the 4 Ps – Police, Politician, Press & Public are all pointing fingers at each other and blaming each other for the current Mumbai situation instead of holding each other's fingers and fighting aganist the unfortunate occurance. But do you think this kind of an attitude will lead us anywhere, for sure not. So the what’s the solution or for that matter what’s the right attitude that each one of us need to have.

Maheshgiriji says; we need to bear in mind 3 key factors which would serve as the platform from where we can together unanimously make a big positive difference to each individual & to the society as a whole.

To change the “Time” one needs to give “Time”. This means; to see good times ahead, to make a safe, bright, trustworthy & happy society for our future generations we need to give that Quality time from our life। You can’t make a difference outside by sitting inside your house. You need to get out there and

समय को बदलने के लिए समय देना पड़ेगा ।

To see good times ahead one needs to stop looking at the time in your watch.
अच्छा समय आने के लिए अपने घड़ी को देखना बंद करना पडेगा ।

To do good work is not easy. (अच्छा काम करना आसां नही है ) Gandhiji used to say 4 key things for anyone who goes out to do something good for the society will have to willingly face:
Criticism from the society.
Ridicule from your own people, friends & society.
Shouts & Fights
But Finally victory will be yours।

क्यूंकि सच्चाई परेशां हो सकती है पराजीत नही हो सकती।

He also shared a very interesting example of the Mahabharata. During those times; both the Pandavas & Kauravas were asked whether they wanted Narayan on their side or the Sena of Narayan during the war. The Kauravas thought that its better to get a large army of the Narayan so asked for the Sena of Narayana to be on their side during the Kurukshetra war. But the Pandavas, i.e. Arjuna chose Swayam Naryana to be on his side. Why, because he was very clear that if the Lord is on my side there is no way I can lose this Kurukshetra war no matter ho powerful the opposition. This example is a perfect analogy to all the SriSri devotees, isn’t it? When we have our Guru with us any obstacle, challenge or situation we encounter we can overcome it with a smile, what say!

Jai Gurudev!
