"Arjuna, not even a leaf can move without my consent...."

Jai Gurudev!!
I think I should write a post everyday, the rate at which thoughts come and I latch on to some of them. 
Birthday Week for me!!
Great start to the week, with a high quality chocolate cake all over my face. So, lots of love pouring in from all sides from all countries. 
We started another Happiness program this week at Renuka Swaroop vidyalaya. Its very nice how these programs are happening one after another. There was a very interesting dialogue that I heard in 'Mahabharat' that I follow on Star Plus. In that Krishna tell Bhishma," You are able to fight because I am allowing you to!! You are not dead yet because I have permitted you to live." 
This is actually quite similar to one of the shlokas in Bhagvad Geeta, where Krishna says to Arjuna, that even a leaf in this creation cannot move without my permission.
So its like that, Guruji is giving me so many chances to be of use. We are planning to have the next one just the week ending with Guru Purnima. 
Wonderful batch of participants, in this program, which will probably culminate with a QnA session with Amit bhaiyya. Its amazing how much difference just some discipline can make to ones life. Just doing pranayam and kriya has brought so much brightness to their faces. Just so wonderful to see. 

In other news , work going well. Will be put on another project from Monday. So that should be exciting. Have had some interesting breakthroughs in the current one. 
I think its just a matter of being a 100 percent for those 8 hours at work. That includes reaching work on time 8:30am. I intend to start with punctuality from Monday. My PhD bug has resurfaced and I have decided to take a step in that direction. I just got all the books from one of my colleagues. Planning to give GATE next year.

I am also having an interesting time chatting with Anagha. Lets see what Gurudev thinks of this girl. I hope she does the next Happiness program.
Its funny how I mentioned to her, that most of my life revolves around one man... I actually felt so awesome saying it. Normally this is the place where words fail to come to my rescue, and I just end up staring at the screen after multiple failed attempts to form a sentence about Gurudev. :)
But thats one thing I intend to follow, read a few pages everyday and write everyday. Also listen to Gurudevs talk once everyday. 

Yey..great...another nice post.. 


Love,
Shailesh
