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!
