Post # 10:- Rs.500/- and Rs.1,000/- notes have been ceased in India.

On 10th November 2016 at around 9:00 PM, The Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi gave a proclamation that the from the midnight, Rs.500/- and Rs.1000/- currency notes can no longer be used in transaction.

 

 

“Currency notes of Rs 1,000 and Rs 500 will be just paper with no value,” Modi said. This was one of the historic decision made by Honorable PM. Narendra Modi. 

Why was the scheme introduced?

• The incidence of fake Indian currency notes in higher denomination has increased. For ordinary people, the fake notes look similar to genuine notes, even though no security feature has been copied.

 

•  The fake notes are used for anti-national and illegal activities.

 

• High denomination notes have been misused by terrorists and for hoarding black money. India remains a cash-based economy, hence, the circulation of fake Indian currency notes continues to be a menace.

Hence the sole motive behind this giant step is to control the black money, corruption and fake notes circulation in the market. Moreover it would also benefit to establish a strong check on the transactions in the form of donation accepted by Educational Institutes like schools, colleges or in the real estate deals.

 

Citizens of India would have 50 days' time to exchange / deposit Rs.500/- and Rs.1000/- currency old notes in banks / post office till 30th December 2016. The lower denomination notes and coins will remain legal tender.  The money may be withdrawn via ATM with the limit of Rs.2000/- per day initially. This limit may be raised to Rs.4000/- in few days. The other mediums like Online Transactions and Cheques are still valid to be used.

 

 

The honest citizens who earn the money via legitimate sources and keep in it bank account as savings, would have no harm at all. However an individuals who are hoarding the cash i.e. "Black Money" would face the unrest. Because the hidden cash would have no price now. They have no option left but to deposit the hoarded cash in the bank account in order to gain the value.

This way the "Black Money" or hidden money would flow in the legal stream into the Indian market. Now it would be traced easily by Income Tax Department with the help of Banks via client screening and filtering procedure.

 The new currency notes of Rs.500/- and Rs.2,000/- would be revealed by Reserve Bank of India.

 

True to Twitterati’s nature, memes and quips and jokes started flying. Sample some of them here.

 

This decision by PM Modi has brought a smile on the faces of common man but at the same time it has become a tough game for the people who possess the Black Money with them.

 

Herewith I take this opportunity congratulate and appreciate PM Narendra Modi for taking a enormous decision to curb the illegal money and made the India shine as a clean and bright spot in the landscape of world economy.

Post # 08:- Conducting the Group Prayer, The First experience.



On Saturday, 8th October 2016, being a member of core team (also known as "ShreeGuru SaptSangh), I was blessed with an opportunity to conduct the weekly group prayer of  Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu at Shivajinagar Upasana Center, Modern High school,

J.M.Road, Pune, India .  

It was a grateful experience in itself. 

 At 6:30 PM (IST), I was sitting in front of sacred formation having photos of Chandikakul,  Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu, Suchit Dada and Nandai. The most essential of this formation is  the presence of Chinmay Paduka ( lotus footprints ) of Sadguru Shree Aniruddha Bapu. 

 Four shraddhavans accompanied me on the stage. However the group of 1000+ shraddhavans present at the Upasana center was also reciting the prayer along with us which was indeed a celestial experience for me. 

 While conducting the group prayer, I could perceive the following significant aspects. 

1. Firstly, an individual conducting the prayer should stay calm from within. He must be fully engrossed in the prayer.
2. Secondly it's important to maintain the pace, peace & harmony of the prayer.
3. Thirdly, an individual should try to tune himself with the sacred emotions of the attendees (shraddhavans) who were reciting the prayer.

 

Here,  honestly I must say that handling the above 3 aspect simultaneously  was a tuff job indeed. I mean to say that maintaining the calmness within at that very moment  however avoiding the unwanted thoughts in the mind and at the same time tuning yourself with the glee and gratification of thousands of shraddhavans and not losing the feel of love and devotion towards Sadguru Bapu.

 

Balancing the entire set of emotions with the harmony is certainly not in the control of an individual.

I must admit that it's not the qualification or skill or designation or the experience of an individual which makes prayer happen fine. But its only and only possible because of 'Bapu Thy Grace' and nothing else.

I am grateful to be blessed with this sacred opportunity of conducting the weekly group prayer of Sadguru Aniruddha Bapu during the current sacred span of Navaratri.

I love you Bapu !

 

I love you my dad because I know you are there with your Mother with me, forever!

Post # 7:- Surgical strike by Indian Army

There is a wave of pride across India on Thursday, 29th Sep 2016. The reason being the Indian Army carried out Surgical strike mission to blow up the terrorist camps residing around Line of control near the Jammu and Kashmir border in India.

 

On 18th Sep 2016, 4 heavily armed Terrorist attacked Indian soldiers at midnight near the town of Uri in Jammu Kashmir, India.

This was one of the ruthless attack ever. This surgical strike has seems to be the hard hit by Indian Army to the terrorist in the Pakistan which is treated as an answer to Uri event.

Following are the significant features of the Surgical Strike

• Indian commandos entered three kilometers across the Line of Control to conduct the 'surgical strikes'
• 7 terror launch pads were destroyed during the surgical strike
• 38 terrorists and 2 Pakistani soldiers were killed in Indian Army surgical strikes, no Indian casualties

 

Most important thing is post accomplishing this mission, India intimated Pakistan about this surgical strike and also stated that the operation has been carried out to demolish the terrorist accumulated around LOC. The mission is over. The Indian may repeat operation in case terrorist may be observed in the same area.

 

 

 

The best part is, the whole world was just talking about the terrorism but no one dare it act upon it. But our Honorable Prime Minister of India Mr. Narendra Modi carried out this surgical strike successfully in a very controlled manner. In last 60 years, India was always adopted defensive mode. However this is for the first time that India has done a direct hit to the terrorist. This is the key point which made the full India feel proud.

I salute our brave Indian Soldiers.

Also I herewith take an opportunity to congratulate the Indian Army and Government officials who were involved in this surgical strike.

Post # 06:- Concluding Satsang of Ghorakashtoddharan Pathan

 Generally it’s a customary practice to conclude this event  by performing the Satsang. The Satsang is a devotional music event consist of the Abhang, Bhajans, Gajar performed by a group which is also known as the Satsang Team.

The Satsang was scheduled on Sunday, 28th Aug '16.

The Satsang Team started gearing up for the same. As an initial task, the handwritten script of the lyrics of Abhnag and Gajar was drafted.

 

The Xerox copies of the same had been distributed among the members of Satsang team.

 

Now the greatest challenge was to setup the Satsang of 1 hour duration, in just the single practice session. Hence after completing conventional group prayer, the Satsang team stayed back till the late hours on Saturday practicing the different abhangs to be performed in the event.

Finally on Sunday, 28th Aug '16, the Satsang started on the soothing note. It was a peaceful experience for the shraddhavans in the audience. The lyrics of Abhang touched every heart and soul of the shraddhavan audience. As the Satsang progressed, every abhang was accompanied by an active participation from the audience who were singing profoundly along with the abhnag.

Every individual shraddhavan was enthralled in the deep feeling of the peace and the grace of our beloved Sadguru P.P.Aniruddha Bapu.

In the last portion of the Satsang, all the shraddhavans catched the rhythmic moments of Abhnag and started to swayed and dance with full glee and ecstasy. No one out there were adept in these arts but the inner joy made everyone cherished the moments wholeheartedly.

The atmosphere was full of positive energy and filled the heart & soul of each shraddhavan with the delight, love, happiness and devotional feelings towards beloved P.P. Aniruddha Bapu.

Post # 05:- "Shree Mahadurgeshwar Prapatti" for Gents…. to gain Competency and Potency .

I happen to perform "Shree Mahadurgeshwar Prapatti" on 15th Aug 2016 in Aniruddha UpasanaCenter at Shivajinagar, Pune, India.  P.P. Sadguru AniruddhaBapu blessed gents with this unique adulation named  "Shree Mahadurgeshwar Prapatti".   

 

 

Benefits of "Shree Mahadurgeshwar Prapatti" 

1. Simple and easy steps of worship.
2. It would strengthen the Gents with all the required Potencies and Competencies.
3. It would facilitate gents to overcome the weaknesses and become strong. 
4. It would open the channel for the positive growth and would consequently lead to successful life.
5. Most important is It would prepare Gents to safeguard and protect his family during tuff times in life. 

This worship may be performed on any one or all the Monday's in the month of "Shravan" (as per Hindu Calendar). The Prapatti should be done only by Gents. The Prapatti may be performed individually at home or in a group.

For me, it was a vibrant experience in itself. I was a member of the group of 142 gents participants.

 

The last part of worship was chanting "Bam Bam Bholenaath Bam Bam Bhole…..". This was actually the peak point of the full adulation procedure. The rhythm continued to move high. All the 142  gents swayed and danced with full zeal and zest while chanting "Bam bam bholenaath bam bam bhole…." .

Wow… ! what a passion, what an enthusiasm …. Oh my… ! Everyone out there was dancing like anything. All the negative thoughts, tensions,  work pressures, botherations were thrown out of the mind and everyone was dancing with the joy and elation in the heart.  

  

 

Overall "Shree Mahadurgeshwar Prapatti" is the unique gift to all the gents from our beloved dad ….. P.P. Sadguru AniruddhaBapu.

Post # 04:- Group chanting of "Ghorakashtoddharan Stotra"

On Saturday, 6th August 2016, I happen to participate in the group chanting of "Ghorakashtoddharan Stotra".  This stotra is a prayer written in Sanskrit. The chanting of this prayer helps an individual to surmoud the sufferings at all levels (physical, intellectual, mental) and  attain peace in all the walks of life.

 

Sadguru P.P.Aniruddha Bapu highlighted the importance of chanting "Ghorakashtoddharan Stotra".

As per Hindu calander, the current "Shravan" month is a sacred month. It's a strong conviction that the prayer or worship performed in this month would bring positive benefits in multiple folds of life.

Hence feeling nice that I am blessed with opportunity to open the channel to attain bounty in my life.

Post # 03:- A wonderful Sunday, 10th June 2016

The Sunday, 10th June 2016 was a different one. It was a spiritual Sunday… just to name it. Got a chance to attend an event organised by Aniruddha Upasana Foundation in Shivajinagar, Pune center.  The event was about 3 sessions of chanting and Satsang at evening.

The "Abhishek" on the sanctified idol of sadguru "Aniruddha Bapu" was performed throughout the day.
 

Indeed the Sunday of June 10th was filled with the holy activities throughout the day.  Honestly, everyone present there was absolutely got disconnected with the outer world of "Dis-ease", "Dis-comfort", "Dis-couragement", "Des-pair", "Fear", "Weakness" and was feeling sanctified in "Bapu's World" with lot of 'peace', 'bliss", "happiness" and was experiencing the Epitome of Ecstasy within the heart and soul of an every individual.

 

It was one of the memorable day for me and hence thought to share it via this blog.

 

Post # 02:- Stitching ... an art to connect.

Stitching is an art which teaches us to join or connect the broken pieces of cloth material. Many people in the outside world categories steaching as low profile job. But believe it, for me it was a good learning experience. Practically it involves

 

- Planning

 

- Measuring

 

- Calculation of speed + time available + target date

 

- Concentration which is most important factor.

 

But honesty it is something related to my own world inside. 

 

After completing the first cotton blanket (it's called "Godhadi" in regional language Marathi), I felt content. I could sense that my mind was very stable and calm. It's my perception that the steaching connects all the bits and pieces scattered in my mind. I could experience glee and gratification. 

 

Thanks and Ambadnya to my mentor (Sadguru) Dr.Aniruddha D. Joshi also known as Aniruddha Bapu who introduced me to steaching blanket out of old cotton materials in the house. It's a part of 13 points program introduced by P.P.Aniruddha Bapu. 

 

Finally submitting this blanket to the lotus feet of mentor is like cherry on the top. It would be provided to the poor and needy in the society during the winter season in India. This cotton blanket would serve the needy familis & their innocent kids the warmth with love.

Life is simple. Let's make it more Happy by doing simple things. ☺

Post # 01:- The start point

Hi Friends,

Feeling great to have my own blog "Journey of Happiness".

This is my first post. In spite of working in IT (Information Technology) field for 10+ years, I never had thought to own a personal blog. This may seems strange but that's the fact.

Well... Thanks to my Mentor Dr. Aniruddha D. Joshi who made me aware of the real strength of having a Digital Identity of an individual in the near future. An article about "Digital Divide" on one of my friends blog inspired me to initiate my own blog.... a dedicated space to express myself. Now I feel that this is a great platform to share my Journey of Happiness with the world.
