Few weeks back I wrote that I went to Chicago. It was to attend Gita Utsav and Guru Poornima celebrations there. It was a time I spent time with my younger son. Me and my younger boy participated in Bhagavad gita chanting on the 20th and Guru Gita chanting on the 21st in the presence of my Guru.
My husband took care of my special boy for both the events. In fact he was not even present in the arena when we were chanting Guru Gita, since it was a bit early and his Dad duties took priority.
Swamiji had promised He would be in the arena to give darshan ( one on one blessings )to everyone there. But there were thousands of people in the arena. After lunch, we requested volunteers help to move ahead of the snake like line and approach Swamiji for his blessings. Getting Guru’s blessings personally on this auspicious day was very important for us. My husband was a bit apprehensive to ask for concession to move ahead in the line. My phone battery was running out of charge and my son was antsy (jigsaw puzzle app do take a lot of battery ) and therefore I didn’t think twice about asking for help.
As we approached, Swamiji immediately told my husband that he was hugely blessed. It was his Bhagyam or fortune that my husband was able to do seva (volunteer) to take care of his son.
Swamiji had witnessed a gathering of nearly thousands of people the past few days and yet He had seen my husband take care of my son. He also understood the underlying feelings of my husband who is unable to physically volunteer for any events and had made this comment.
I think it has taken a few weeks for me to settle myself to write this blog and hence the delay.
Jaya Guru Datta
Humble Prostrations to My Guru Sri Sri Sri Ganapathi Sachidananda Swamiji 🙏
