Friday 12th September - Sunday 14th September was a really special weekend, where Nama took us (Jayanthi Mataji and Uncle Venkat and Kajal Mataji and Myself) to Adelaide.
As advised by Jayanthi Mataji after our return to Sydney from the trip...there were many opposite and negative forces at work before we went to Adelaide...and ONLY and Sheerly through Gurudev's Grace that the Trip ended up being a memorable one for all concerned.
Being with Jayanthi Mataji and Ramanan Uncle for Kajal Mataji and myself was an amazing experience. I see them as the embodiments of "Nama Nistha" - They walk Nama, they talk Nama, they eat Nama, they sleep Nama, ...what more can i say..they LIVE Nama.
Please read the following report by Jayanthi Mataji on the Adelaide Trip.
http://www.namadwaar.org/ozgod/newsevents/news/?action=slideshow&id=1221444800
Overall, it was a great experience.....as I mentioned to Jayanthi Mataji and upon reminiscing on the trip (while there and upon coming back )..I realised that
Before leaving for Adelaide I was under a severe misconception that i was going there to give something to others...But now as i sit comtempating on the tour I know that wasn't the case. Instead of giving I believe G sent me there to "take" and "Gain" and "recieve". and GAIN i did.
I gained love from lots of friends who I never knew
I gained knowledge and learned lessons from various people - not through their words..but their action and lives
I gained inspiration for serve G more
I gained thirst to do more in Nama Propogation
I gained spiritual Richness
I gained the blessings and well wishes of many
and most importantly I gained the Nama Wealth.
Jayanthi Mataji appropriately advised of a nice story....
She said: "I remember an incident from Sri MahaPeriyava which HE narrated HIMSELF. Periyava said, everyone calls me Jagadguru, and I didn't understand why people called me so, HE narrated an incident and says " HE is being called as Jagadguru because, the Jagath teaches HIM and HE is learning new things daily"
The people we met were all amazing...I was most fortunate to have the chance to meet them and they all were extremely receptive to Nama.
Hereby hoping to continue to build on the initial foundation of our relationship with those we met...and praying to Shri Gurunath that one day this foundation will turn into a NAMA HATTA (Nama Dwaar) in Adelaide...
Smt Bamaji and Sri RajaGaneshan ji were amazing hosts...Really indebted to them....Not enough words to thank them....Praying that Gurunath shower HIS blessings on them and their Lovely family.
Finally I would like to say...I met a special friend , a brother, who in less than 2 days.. really touched my heart with his warmth, love and humility...Talking abt Shri Gautam Bala Ji....Most wonderful gentlemen and a very very nice bhakta who is doing a great service work for the youth and the Kids in Adelaide with his Bhagvatam, Gita and Vedanta classes....amongst a myriad of other activities he organised and runs for the upliftment of the kids and youth in Adelaide.
Gautam Ji with Myself and Kajal Mataji

The First Darshan
Radhe Radhe
"Tiny legs, Tiny hands, relatively larger head compared to the rest of the body, little eyes, nose and mouth, heart pumping, curled up in a fetal postion" - Fetal position ???- What am i talkin about. It WAS the foetus of the little one...in the mum's womb. - Yes...I had my first Darshan of the little one today...Today was the first Ultrasound for Kajal.
Amazing. "Ajab teri kaarigari kartaar"
Totally Amazing it was. What a remarkable Creator is our great LORD.
Doctor asked us: "Would you like to know if it is a boy or a Girl"
Smiling back at my wife, who knows I am not good at being held in suspense...she said Yes...we would like know. Then the doctor located the little piece of anatomy and Boldly declared that it was a "BOY"...just like G said, - He is the prasad of Shri Anjaneya...
It was a special special moment....to cherish....
Can't believe its only a matter of months till the little one is out.....Can't wait to relay the news to G. He's all yours G.

3 Day Bhagwat Katha at Praneel/Dylans house in Prestons
Radhe Radhe
Jai GuruNath
After the Ashtami, we had a three day talk on Shrimad Bhagwatam at Bhakta Praneels house (better known as Dylan's Dad :) funnily enough) .
On the first night we had a nice crowd of about 60-70. We covered the katha of Shri Dhruva Maharaja. His Katha being filled with inspiration for Kids and Adults alike. The main points being
"karyam sadhayami va deham patayami" - as the slogan goes. DO OR DIE. Dhruva Maharaja's INTENT to Fulfill his GOAL (even though Arthartic initially) was inspiring
We (all Jivas) as Uttanpaad and we have two rani's namesly Suruchi (Doing what pleases the Mind - sense gratification) and Suniti (path of righteousness and Truth) . The Jiva becomes the follower of Suruchi rather than Suniti. Suruchi has a son called Uttam and Suniti has a so called Dhruv. When one follows Suruchi, they will get Uttam phala (fruit) - Uttam = Ut (highest) tam (ignorance) meaning - AGYAN kI parakaashtha. However when one follows Suniti - one attains Dhruv - Bhajananand personified..that which is permanent and unshaking
If a mother wants..she can turn her child into a saint, a philisopher/Gyani, or if a mother wants she can turn her child in a thug or a criminal.
On the second day, we had a much migger group of devotees attending, around 100 or so. We were also graced with the presence of Sri Venkat jI and Shri Jayanti Mataji as well as Shri Vijayji and family.
The topic for the day was Maha Bhagvat Shri JadBharat (seems like an oxymoron to say Maha bhagwat and Jad at the same time) . Anyway we learnt the important role played by the mind.
Mana eva manushyanam karanam bandha mokshayoho
"As the mind, so the man; bondage or liberation are in your own mind"
And how the penultimate moment of our lives decide our next state, Hence ante Narayana Smriti.
Secondly, Jad bharat when seeing the helpless baby Mriga, saw himself as the caretaker and believed that without him there was noone to look after this poor baby Deer. Shridhar Swamigals experience comes to mind when he believed if he left home, who would look after HIS Son, then suddenly and egg fell from the nest from above him and from it popped out a little baby bird. And Swamigal realised that the one who will look after this jiva will also look after my son..
On the third day of Bhagwat Katha, we discussed Sudama charitra – brahmano brahma-vittamaa. Very nice..touching Katha of Krishna Sakha. And his resolve to never ask anyone for anything. And how the LORD actually worshipped him upon Arriving in Dvarika.
kim anena kritam punyam
avadhûtena bhikshunâ
s'riyâ hînena loke 'smin
garhitenâdhamena ca
What pious acts has this unkempt, impoverished brāhmaṇa performed? People regard him as lowly and contemptible, yet the spiritual master of the three worlds, the abode of Goddess Śrī, is serving him reverently. Leaving the goddess of fortune sitting on her bed, the Lord has embraced this brāhmaṇa as if he were an older brother.
And so the 3 days of Bhagwat Katha concluded.
Overall it was a very nice as there was great feedback from all. Most importantly the 3 days of Bhagwatam were decorated beautifully with amazing Nama Kirtana from Everyone present. Everyone also took maha mantra CD’s of Guruji and Stickers as well. There were also people taking Malas as well.

The funds that was collected actually went to a good cause as well. To a family whos house had recently burnt down in Fiji.
Thankful to G for making it all happen smoothly..

Post Ashtami Wrap Up
Radhe Radhe Jai GuruNath
Apologies...Have been very slack myself. Have not updated Blog for a long long time. Lots to report though
Since the Last 8 day ashtami Bhagwat session at Yennora got cancelled, had the opportunity to going to various places/houses to speak on Bhagwatam. In a way it was ideal, as it was a chance to speak to a different crowd everyday, hence speaking to various audience on Bhagwat Katha and Nama Sankirtanam.
Distributed G's CD's and stickers every day. The highlight for me however was attending the sessions at Navin bhai's place in Earlwood. A very nice group of devotees and very inquisitive as well. Everyone from young to old took part in singing MahaMantra. A special focus was given to chanting Mahamantra. Had some spare Chanting Malas - 40 to 50 of them..,.so took them around to NAvin's place. It was all gone. Basically everyone that came took the Malas and actually it ran out ....so had to take some more on the following days...At the end of 2 sessions of Katha, the whole crows actually participated in chanting Mahamantra on beads 108 times. And people who took the Mala also promised to chant eevryday. It was simply MAGIC to see G's grace in Action. The 50-60 lips and tongues everyday...being busy in the actual and the main business of life. Is there anything more satisfying then chanting and watching others chant. Felt the presence of G every moment.
Took a break from the Katha one day to go to Adelaide (part of South Australia) . There, Dylan and Myself and Kajal led the singing of Sunderkand. (photo) . It was an amazing experience. There were reports from the crowd that while the Sunderkand was happening, some decorative kalashas -pots which were part of the temple decoration, actually "lifted up" and fell. Shri Anjaneya makes in presence known in various ways i guess. The whole session was beautiful. Especially Dylan as the little master displayed his artistry on the Dholak and really lifted the vibe of the place. Uncle Mudliar actually was so happy that at the end of the sesssion, he picked Dylan up and kissed him and blessed him....
Next day after a Yagya at the same temple in Adelaide, we returned back to Sydney and continued with the Krishna Ashtami celebrations on Saturday and Sunday.
ON the last day I had a call from Brother Aniruddha that the folks at Earlwoord wanted more Malas as there were new people attending and they desired to chant Maha Mantra with the mala as well. So we decided to go there again. All the time, I was sort of being a miser that i did not want to finish all the Malas. Somehow decided to take all of them on the last day. It was al gone as well that night. So i had no Malas with me. Not even one for future distributions. The very next day I had a call at work from my good wife that a box of Malas had just arrived from Brindaban. I was totally surprised. Nothing but G's Grace. Came home that evening to see more than 150 Malas and Bead bags and Mala Counters.
Started preparing for the 3 day Bhagwat Katha at Dylan's House. Another opportunity presented by G and Krishna to spread the glories of the LORD via this totally totally unworthy and insignificant kali-grasta jiva. I wish one day I can actually understand the subject matter of Srimad Bhagvatam...Actually claiming that I am speaking on Bhagvatam is nothing but humourous and pityful.

Radhe Radhe
Had a Gita Recital and discourse yesterday at the post funeral rites of SMT KUNTI DEVI. Recited Chapter 6 of BG. And spoke on some shlokas. With Hari Naam Ofcourse. Jayanthi Mataji and Ramanan uncle came from far away and graced us on this occasion.
We distributed CD's and Stickers...
The KIDS gave some positive feedback ...saying they did understand the topic well...It was nice to touch the youngsters.... I find that nowadays the youngsters are very positive and coming-forward and very receptive to the messages of Bhagvat Dharma.
Have a workmate whos brother recently won the one and only most sought-after, prestigious ARTS scholarship. Out of many thousands of people he won the one and only scholarship.
And his background was, he was 6months away from finishing his double degree and had this burning desire to chase his dream in arts..and he left everything, dished his studies, and worked hard day and night...accepting the fact that he will not have a steady income for a while, minimised his socialising...and in the end the results are there...
Recently won a Arts competition, followed by securing the scholarship and now a deal in UK...
His brother tells me how he only sleeps like 3 -5 hours a nite and has RSI but still continues to passionately chase his dreams...
One of his works
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGJ10vPiNUo
Made me feel really small when i look at myself...IF only i had that dedication to chase my dreams to serve G with all my energy and more for the propogation of Nama.
Praying to G to give me that dedication in life, that passion in life to love what i do and to give it my all.

Haven't been blogging lately. Recapping the week that has been.
Monday and Tuesday, went down to Liverpool Hospital for prayer for Babu Ram's Mum who at the age of 80 something was living her last days (as per the doctors advice). She did pass away on Thursday. GOD will be doing Nama Sankirtan and Bhagvata Gita recital and discourse there next week.
Friday and Sat : Had 2 days of ram Katha at bhakta Vimals house in Quakers Hill. Tonight is the 3rd and last day. Its been a nice 2 days. Distributed the GOD Cd's yesterday. Spoke abt the meeting of Shri Ram and Hanuman at Pampapur.
According to Goswami Tulasidasji, Sugriva represents the JIva Tattva and Bali Karma personified. When Karma is favourable towards Jiva...the jiva is enjoying and is spoilt. However when the Karma turns unfavourable, it chases the jiva everywhere...whereever it goes. however there is one place that one's Karma cannot follow the Jiva and that is Rishmuka Parvat..(satsangh Personified).
With the Help of Anjaneya, Sant/Sadguru personified, the Jiva is united with the LORD. It is the Mahaan who puts forward the case of the Jiva to the LORD and beggs the lord to accept the Jiva (sugriva). And the LORD Obliges.
Sugriva, despite being a coward, opportunist, lusty, enagaged in sense gratification and the like had two great qualities which were crucial for his union with the lord.
1. He knew his follies and weaknesses. And was ever ready to accept them.
2. He never left the association of a Sant in the form of Anjaneya.
...tonight, we shall be discussing the pasttime of an amazing devotee who is able to dictate terms to the LORD....Kevata. And from the whole of RamcharitManas he was the only one to get the LORD to fully openly laugh in the manner that HE did.
All Glories to Shri Guru
Praying that the Guru bestows his Kripa on the family of Shri Vimalji.
