At least 50% of my waking hours are spent in His remembrance.
The Vedanta classes, the meaningful morning, the highest vocation are obviously instrumental but I also try to remember Him while doing activities, professional work, walking, cooking etc.
The more I remember Him, the more I feel closer to Him.

Waiting!
~~~~~~~~

You know how i feel,
yet You play this game
of hide and seek.
How long is this wait?
A tree burdened
by a singular yellow leaf.
A blade of grass taxed
by a dew drop’s sheath.
A heart holding its last breath,
until my death.
This is how i feel.
You say that You know it?
Then why play such cruel games?
I have been looking for You
for innumerable lifetimes.
I have been waiting for You
before the beginning of time.
Once You held my tiny hand.
Why did You let it go?
Once You held me in Your arms.
Now where does Your warmth flow?
Over the deserts of dimensions,
I have been looking for You.
Don’t ask me
how i lost myself in darkness.
You should have held me closer
tied to Your heart’s harness.
This longing is sometimes desperate
yet my tears are sweet.
When I find You,
i will never let You go.
Your smile radiates the Truth
and You say-
“I never left you.”

A simple thought of meeting Shri Krishna Overwhelms me with intense emotions of joy!!

Not sure this encapsulates totally but it’s feeble attempt :

As You walk towards me
i am unable to move,
overcome by the stillness
Your presence brings!
I stand in silence.
but the eyes cannot hide
what my heart feels.
Streams of tears roll down
as You walk towards me.
i may have visualized this
for many lifetimes
Yet nothing prepares me
for when I meet You.
There are no words.
Joy of returning home,
of being with You.
I have died a million times
for this Life.
The wait ends.
The longing for You.
Why label this with any name?
Let’s call this love.
Only love.

Dear Jeff Ament Stone Gossard, Mike McCready, Eddie Vedder and Matt Cameron,

This is one way i describe my journey guided by Vivekji. Because of him we-
“Feel the air up above, a pool of blue sky. Fill the air up with love, oh black with starlight. Feel the sky blanket you, with gems and rhinestones. See the path cut by the moon, for you to walk on.”

So I walk on moonlight, i sleep on stars.
I am learning oneness, slowly letting go of my scars.

Vivekji is in Section B 162 Row GG. And Section B 111 Row FF.

Now won’t you call out to him who is turning us into ‘light from stones’?

• I found one good explanation for this song
• That he sang it for a person called Dianne, whom they knew but never got to say Goodbye and this was a goodbye song for her
• The fact that when she was alive, they were only miles apart but when she’s gone, they are light years apart moved me a lot!
• Do we realize why we are here and even after knowing do we active work on it to evolve…why this procrastination(tamas) – O Narayana, please help me come to you in this lifetime!

• Done with registration
• The Guru keeps giving without expectation and disciple learns to let go slowly, slowly.
• OM Namo Narayanaya!

• Really didn’t need it last time, as per Guru’s Upadesha, set myself up with not 1 but 2 accountability partners.
• Hoping to discuss with them now and then about what their thoughts were on that particular day!
• Much gratitude to Swamiji for such humbling RAWs

• I am not one of the participants, but i see the enthusiasm of those who are in my commUnity
• Praying for all their swasthi and wishing these activities only create more goodness to our society
• So happy to be a small part of this WHOLE!
