Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Dear Brothers and Sisters of Samratchana Family, Sankaram Siva Sankaram... We got such a nice mail from Praveena followed by Dhanalakshmi and Suresh Krishna Uncle. Let me share my personal experience with Baba: When I came to Baba nearly 10 years back - I saw our Samratchana magazine ... Being an MBA with Marketing and Sales experience, I went to Baba with over enthusiasm and told Baba that "I can add value to our Samratchana Magazine - especially in marketing and Sales "... We all know our Baba - He is the King of Kings in Motivating the Most useless person (like me) He was so glad, when I made this statement to Him, he told me to co-ordinate with one Senior Uncle, I immediately rushed to that Uncle, and told him my ideas.. I have prepared a 14 points plan to increase the circulation of our Magazine - I have sent this plan to Baba - I took a printout of the Plan to Baba - Baba blessed with both the hands.. The Senior Uncle, took the printout from my hand looked at me and asked these questions: "Are you Greater than Baba ? Do you thing, you know more than Baba ? Can you come up with a better plan than what Baba has for His Own magazine ?" He was not harsh on me - He was smiling and asking these questions - But I had no answer then.. Now over the last 10 years - Our Baba has trained me well Now I know, where I have gone wrong. The mistake was MY EGO - My Educational Background - My experience in Marketing and Sales.. These were the mistakes - which have pulled me down. Now - Baba's 60th Birthday - I am not going to make any mistakes like what I did 10 years ago. Let us all learn for the Super Super Senior devotees amongst us. How are the events happening in Samratchana ? How do the senior devotees conduct events ? How do they do Extra -ordinary work - with very simple tools ? These are amazing things we have to learn from our Seniors - After doing everything - they stay backstage - they are calm, NO EGO, .. Actually, Swami calls them on the stage and informs everyone that This person - did this great job with so much of devotion and so on.... I have been closely admiring such great devotees - I can name a lot of them .. Venkat uncle from Australia is one such example - such a great person - with great training experience, This uncle will be in some old T-shirt, running here and there like any common man Ofcourse - with such a nice smile on the face... Executing all the instructions of Swami with total dedication... Take our advocate Uncle - our Siva's Father for example. Excellent example for simplicity - He will stay for behind in the hall. All his services will happen in front of Swami.. His son now is US - Siva (Mayil Kazhuthu Siva - Baba's pet child).. He as literally lived with Baba outside His room... He is so silent in the group without a single mail to us.. We worked together in Sify - Siva uses to talk very few words in a day. Mostly a smile. Great devotee of Baba. Take NCS for example - This is my Akka from Palani Gardens. Again she is yet to send her experience to our group. So much of experience with our Baba. So many miracles in life. Especially the one on a Heavy Rainy day - the Cab experience. She is always on the back stage. Take our Army Captain Uncle as example - so much of work for our Magazine with no EGO with full Love and dedication. One more aunty I dont know her name - who takes care of the Meditation cave - so much for Love for Baba with so much of simplicity. Ganesh Pattabiraman - in school - so much of simplicity and dedication. Aruna in Library another very very simple person with lot of love for Baba.. The Sister who paints Ramrajyam - what a simple person with great tallent .... All the elderly people serving Prasadam for us in the Hall, All the Brothers and Sisters serving from the slipper stand, All the Brothers and Sister serving in our School, Administration, Temple work, So Many more Samratchana Family Members to be mentioned. Take our Vidya aunty - actually, she is not able to walk, It is our Baba's motivation, she walks all the way to Hall, Records Baba's message for us and uploads.. Again She is yet to share your personal experience with us... Uncle is also a treasure hunt.. Badri - the blessed Child is another Great soul amongst us.. Badri can send a mail a day for us to recharge - so much of excitement and info. All these people have not EGO at all. Take our Chellam aunty - she sings for our Baba. Another example for simplicity. No EGO... I can go on and on and on and on...Many many more people like this.. What is the learning. "Simplicity, Total Surrender, Dedication, Pure Love for Baba, Involvement, Coming forward to be part of a Team working for Swami on their own, Staying back without any EGO - till Baba calls them to share their experience.. From My learning : My Uncle Suresh Krishna and My Sister Praveena, have shared their views. First let us come up with a proper plan. What are we aspiring to do - Why ? Who will be responsible for the what Project - How it will be executed ? Let us have a Time Frame for all the activities... Then - Let one of us take this tentavie plan to Baba Offer the same at His Divine Lotus Feet - Be open for His suggestions and Guidance to go forward. Then, when we have Clear projects / assignment / activities in hand. Let us plan, who will do what, How - from where and when etc ... First and foremost requirement is - How many of us in this Group are eager and keen to do something special for 60th Birthday We have 4 members Praveena, Dhanalakshmi, Suresh Krishna and Krish who have confirmed. Kindly send your confirmation mail - last date next Sunday - MARCH 30TH. Based on the confirmed participation - let us plan the activities. This is just my HUMBLE suggestion - If I am wrong - Kindly ignore this mail. If you feel, my views can be considered - Please reply with your confirmation.
