No of members: 18

Altar by Asmita Merchant

 

We chanted Guru Strotam and also 108 names of Gurudev

 

Post that, a discussion continued on the book ‘My Trek To Uttarakhand. Everyone was given the chance to discuss their favourite parts of the book along with what they learnt from Swamiji’s writing. It was lovely how everyone had different takes and saw the same words differently.

 

The learnings of members were :

Beena Sheth: You have to go through pain, it makes you stronger.

 

Ushaben: We have to learn from Gurudev’s discipline. In spite of being very tired, he used to write the diary, as well notes for dispatching to National Herald.

 

Bharti: We have to learn from Gurudev's Titiksha enduring all hardships and inconveniences; and also his Mumukshutvam which made him do japa, Meditation, enquiry of who am I in spite of so much tiredness.

 

Dr. Chandni: Observed that he had knowledge of home remedies, how concerned he was about the political situation. And that he was always in the present

 

Shivani observed from his satsang with Laxman Goswami that one never knows what you will learn from whom.

 

Joshna: Observed Gurudev's honesty in admitting his own vanity when he grumblingly listened to uneducated but experienced pahadi's advice.

 

Kavita: We have to try and remain cheerful, jovial, maintain our sense of humour in the midst of trying circumstances

 

Malushri: We have to be very persevering, have a clear goal, not complain about hardships, and maintain our inner balance

 

Ragini: We have to forgo our habits joyfully if needed, in spite of obstacles we must carry on, and accept the situation with humour.

 

Sharmila: At the beginning of our spiritual journey, we have to acclimatize with our environment, march ahead practicing Shana, dama, without getting distracted, undeterred!

 

Then we sang two bhajans for Gurudev, arti and pledge. We ended the class on a jovial note taking some photos over the zoom call.
