Stayin’ Alive!

Stayin’ Alive!

This Thursday, i continued listening to those songs after working hours. It was a nice mixed collection of rock, metal, pop and Indian films. I was not bothering much to the lyrics, but the music was pleasing me. I was listening to such loud music after a long time. And the music turned my lousy day into energetic evening. I went to Durergasse enjoying the same trance. Thursdays are very special in Vienna. I can do my long kriya, sing some good songs with the group. It is fun always.

But this time it was a little bit more. I had a wonderful long kriya that day. I remember, when I was done with the kriya and heard Guruji saying, “if you wish, you may lie down” and I wanted to but I couldn’t. I was frozen. And then I noticed, I was not breathing then, for a noticeable long time probably and I continued it for some more time. in fact I wasn’t doing that. It was happening to me. it was effortless.. and it was beautiful. in that state, I realized, i had no thoughts, no wish, nothing to do, I realized, I was but I wasn’t anybody.  i was that nobody. I felt very light.
And then breaking those moments, my first breath was in.

Was that a meditation? Was that trailer of Samadhi? I don’t know! and I don’t bother!

I just know that I lived those beautiful moments of my life. I was alive, satisfied, feeling complete and whole..

and nothing else matters :-)

Celebrating life!

Celebrating life!

Eight long years I was listening about this place, Kamalshile, and fans of this place were increasing every year. It started from my Tai, a.k.a. Ashwini Madam in the Art of Living community. This year I made my mind to visit Kamalshile , a remote place in Karnataka near Udipi town, to enjoy the nature, the river, heavy rains, dense forests, water falls, the famous Kamalshile cave and most important Swami Suryapad, a.k.a. Chhaya Anna.

I booked two tickets for me and Sonia from Pune to Kamalshile for a bus which has sleeping coach. It wasn’t a Volvo, but I thought to give it a try over a sitting only Volvo. We boarded the bus by 6:30pm from Pune and reached Kundapura by 7am in the morning. Another group from Mumbai (Shahapur) joined us at Kundapura and we all hired a bus to reach Kamalshile from there. It was an hour journey from there. Read the rest of this entry

Change is the only constant.

I shifted to Pune in September 2011, with a new job. My life started changing from the day I thought to move on in my last organization. It was a new home in a Pune, new lifestyle, new neighbors, new friends with a new job. Everything started changing. There was a swimming pool in my new society. I was very excited to swim. But only I found that I have lost all the stamina and I could not swim more than 1 short round at a stretch in the pool. I knew, my bad habit of smoking is taking its toll on me.
