It's difficult to keep up with blogging when you have so many social blabbering websites ;) The words slip here and there and don't just build up enough pressure to come out like a blog article.
Even then there are moments which are so compelling that makes you revisit your own world... bare & raw.
It happened last weekend.
I was at Bangalore attending a social gathering of around 6 thousand people as part of Art of Living three day course.
After the first day, I got the feeling like I was sent to rehab for three days after committing some social crime. I shared the feeling with my friend Toshi, who came along, after being forced to join repetitively. he was also sailing in the same feelings. We were like bunch of happy bachelors just experimenting with this new way of life. Nothing much serious about it. We thought it's just three days let's endure.
Day 2 of the course and Guruji arrived. People opened up before him.
During the course of event many participants shared there life experiences. Without any offense and with anonymity I am writing this.
There was a lady she stood up and told, "I was about to finish my life just before coming to this place. I have decided to commit suicide, but now I want to live. I am happy now, I have accepted those who wronged with me. I made peace with life."
After few moments another lady spoke. "I came here with my sister who lost her only son a week before. She was not at all able to forget him and was not talking to anyone so we took her here. " after this she handed over the mic to her sister to open up.... what we heard after that was soul wrenching... she started to speak.. " I lost my son a week back.. he was a brave good boy.. he got murdered by rowdy people when he intercepted and saved a girl from them. he was my cute child ..but now he is no more.. I am not able to come out of this grief..but after coming here and after doing the processes I am accepting this fact. I haven't talked to anyone about this...but now i'm feeling some strength within me."
Another lady stood up who raised her two kids after her husbands early demise. She was much strong from within and was beaming with strength.
A girl from the crowd was crying and she told that she was given away to someone else after her birth. She was not able to forgive her mother for this and was always carrying that anger within her... but she dropped that anger after coming to this place and listening to Guruji's words.
These are not cooked up stories but the real people and there problems.
Me and my friend were silent after listening to all this. We had a different assumption before coming here.. that the world is happy go lucky and just come around here to spend some nice time. But hell no, we were dumb wrong. People came with their real problems in hope to find a solution, and many of them got the solution.
The solution was simple. for all the problems the solution was.... Letting go and Love. and that's what is the mission of this organization... to create a stress free, violence free society. One world filled with Love.
At the end of Day 2, we were left thinking how lucky we are so far...
