Dreams really come true...

Yes that's the post all about...

For the past 3-4 months the time i was away from blogging i really discovered that whatever i had thought of in my dreams some months back really started coming true! so i had to come up with this post...

In the past months i was busy organizing and conducting YES!+ courses in Kalyan and Dombivili areas. In the month of September had a 60 people course in dombs, then in the month of had to back to back courses in dombs and in kalyan...was an amazing exp taking and organizing these courses...did everything with a new team, form organizing intro-talks to giving them and taking the course itself! wow felt like taking care of my own baby and bringing it up too!! i could learn many things by being with the new team from kalyan... also i got a wonderful opurtunity to assist a 170 people YES!+ course with Dinesh-dada in matunga from the 10th of November. the way Dinu-da paid attention to detail on the course was really note-worthy. I got to learn few tips which i did implement in my courses and it was instant hit with the participants! Got a lesson after attending this course that its the participant's first course ever so the teacher has to present the course to them with all his enthusiasm and energy like Dinu-da did! i had this in my mind that some day i would get a chance to assist a full course with Dinu-da, this time it happened in reality! so this was the first dream coming true!

In October the whole focus was on the ANANTARANG and getting sponsors for it! for the first time ever in Dombivli YES!+ chapter a 850 people satsang was organized. the 25th Oct evening was an unforgettable one for anyone who attended the satsang! it was graced by Dinesh-dada's presence! again it was my wish to see Dinu-da in dombs one day with all the AOL family together! i was happily shocked to see this come true so early! hope one day GURUJI also visits the dream city or should i say the city of dreamers!

In December I had been to the winter-break advance course in the Bangalore Ashram! This time there were 49 more people with me! wow!! for the first time ever 50 people attended the YES!+ advance course from dombs! noone could ever imagine this in his/her dream that so many of us were going to Banglore!! It was my first Winter Break Advance course and 7th advance course over all...there were 1000 participants from around the globe in the ashram. Amazing experience it was doing the course 100%, doing the meditations, specially after 2 rounds of PadmaSadhana was an amazingly wonderful experience! The seva automatically became celebration this time around! the trip was all the more special for me as i stayed back with six other friends to meet the MASTER! felt really good after meeting HIM! but i missed OK on the trip as he was busy with his exams. if not for him and his efforts i, rather all the 50 of us would have never made it to the course! he had booked the tickets for us! actually i must say he had first booked the tickets and then cancelled the tickets and then again re-booked it!! i must mention the way he had slogged for the ticket booking was really commendable. if there would have been anyone else at OK's place, i am sure he/she would have ended up in the mental asylum. Every ticket was cancelled and re-booked Atlas 3 times during the space of 10 days! phew! OK did it without loosing his smile and cool he was there available for all of us anytime of the day or night. hats off to you dost...

i came back on the 6th of Jan from Ashram. already a YES!+ course had been planned before going to ashram, so after coming back seva started with full zeal and energy. 61 participants attended the January YES!+ in kalyan. the batch was full of energy and willingness to do something for the society. really enjoyed conducting the course. also got valuable feedback from viru, ninad and siddhu on the course, after every session i took. this will really help me in future courses.

Finally looking ahead have a big challenge of organising a 1000 people Utsav in kalyan and dombivili area! i am sure with the kind of team thats build up and with the new bunch of volunteers this event would be another success story in our YES!+ chapter and another dream come true!!
