GOOD MORNING 2009

As the earth is rotating and crossing time zones, the world is celebrating and welcoming the new year. There is enthusiasm all around. Pune celebrated new year with satsang, singing, dancing, knowledge and meditation. Rishi Nityapragyaji graced the evening. Everyone was dancing at the stroke of 12:00
The meditation was so deep and knowledge so profound yet simple.

• All our "raag", i.e. attachment is responsible for the "dwesh", i.e hatred (opposite values complementing each other). Like if you have 'raag' for freedom, then whatever takes away your freedom becomes the reason for your 'dwesh'. This raag and dwesh can be associated with people or with our own thoughts also. This is what decides the quality of our life.
• We should be taking big responsibilities and for this 'committed skillful efforts' are required.
• He talked about the "nishchay buddhi" in the Bhadwad Geeta. Whenever some realisation happens, take a commitment, a nischay.
• Rishiji also talked about our 'connection to the Divine' and to pray if you are not able to feel the connection.

The new year has also brought new sankalpas. Art is long and time is fleeting.......

love
