And i met him !! 

Everyone says when we met Guruji ( Sri Sri Ravi Shankar) ,we couldn’t  sleep for whole night. But when i met him for the first time, I was so happy that I had a sound sleep.

My first blog dedicated to my Guruji Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. He is the spiritual Guru and cofounder of the NGO art of living. Before meeting him I never believed in the word called GURU. How, I started following him is a interesting story. Some years back, I went to a mall in Bangalore. I saw some volunteer of art of living were distributing the pamphlet of course of art of living.  I registered and attended course. Throughout the course I had strange feeling why these people worship him.

Life went on and after a year I came to Gurgaon. There I met to my school friend.She is a follower of Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. I heard a lot about Charisma of Guruji from her and his devotees. They used to tell  story about Guruji.I listen repeatedly from them that “Guruji knows everything “.  For the first time when I heard this, didn't believe it and laughed a lot. After listening, all the stories I was so curious to meet him and wanted to experience what is so special about him.  

Time went on and 10 months passed, In March I heard Guruji is coming to Delhi after 4 days, after listening this I prayed to him " I want to meet you".I thought, if all people say right about Guruji, then anyhow i will meet him. I tried to make plan with people to go to place where he was coming, but somehow before a day of his arrival plan got cancel. I was disappointed. Next day on 16 March, around 1 O’clock my phone rang it was my friend who is Gruruji’s devotee. She said “I am going to meet Guruji, will you accompany me.” As soon as I heard this, first thought in my mind perhaps this is my call to meet Guruji. I got ready and reached to the place with my friend. It was around 4 O’clock. As soon as we reached there, people said Guruji just went  upstairs after giving Darshan. I thought oh, I missed him. Around 50 people were there. We all were waiting for Guruji to come down. There were two doors to go to outside from the building , all of us were confused from which door he would  go out. Fortunately, we were waiting for him at the door from which he came out. As soon as he came out, my friend shout "Guruji".He looked behind through the crowd and we gave our wish letter to him.I said to my friend I want to meet him again, someone said from behind “he is going to come back at 7, wait till then.”We decided to wait, it was 5 PM and we had 2 hours. We were hungry so  ate at near by place, when we reached back again, we saw people were waiting for Guruji outside the building. Thought came in my mind” A lot people are here, will we able to meet him?”. I prayed Guruji “Please meet me”.

At 7 O’clock he came, at that time there was around 100 devotees. We rushed towards the hall and found seat which was three row away from Guruji’s seat. People were singing Bhajan’s. Whole environment was so meditative that I the person who hardly enjoyed Bhajan’s ,also enjoyed it. Guruji came inside and sat on his chair. We were hardly 3 feet away from him. His face was radiating and so full of peace.I felt presence of light & positive aura around him. I experienced he was very concerned for each and every person around him. He distributed Prasad to us and exchanged pleasantries. I was speechless when I met him, tears rolled down from my eyes, goose bump went up. I didn't say anything only experienced that moment. He shared his vision and plans to help poor. I felt whatever he said was just amazing and very captive. That was an experience which couldn't  described in words .A  pleasant  feeling, I must say.

We took taxi for home, throughout all the way we were discussing that moment. My friend told me she didn't had any prior plan to meet Guruji,but on the same day of Guruji’s arrival she went to Delhi and thought to call me if I am coming. After listening that I understood it was really a call.
